Check it out, it's on the second page

Hopefully it gets on best 2010 albums as well, it totally deserves it

The album is really really good, the cover looks like a wallpaper off of deviantart though

great example of what pitchfork is.

want to say way too much about how much i dislike them... couple points tho: when in gods name did lovers of independent music start caring about album covers? and they really do look stupid making fun of these album covers when at least 50% of them must have been jokes in the first place.

Why even have that category at all? Seems petty as...

Funny people make a living criticizing others work and doing fuck else :lol:

Amazing album, top to bottom

i'm not a huge pitchfork fan, but i don't see what's wrong with a worst album covers feature. Seems like its sort of a tribute to the albums on there in weird way.

Pitchfork is an awful website. But I didn't like this cover either...somehow it has nothing to do with dubstep, even the purple sound. It don't have to be cliché's all the time, but put this cover next to Kontext's Dissociate, Clubroot's CD's or even Quest for the sonic bounty and it is meager.


Surprised Magnetmic Man's art isn't on that list too.

'Plastic Beach'. Thunderbirds reference? What's not to like?

I must say though, there is just no need for this:

Looks like something you'd see on acid. And for that reason I'm in.

What an album though, voted for it in the awards.

Still haven't checked the Guido album actually, that cover is pretty shit (unlike a couple of the more surrealist ones in the list).

That James Holden DJ Kicks one though... jesus fucking christ :a:
