I will start with this abomination from Metal Church.

It is a good album but I just hate the cover so much. It's certainly not the first Metal Church album I pull out to show someone, for that reason!

Far too many to mention, but I always hated those horribly obviously poorly computer generated ones from primarily the late 90's and early 2000's. One of the finest examples is this, but there were hundreds of them-

That new Steve Whiteman solo album cover must come into contention?

Or the fact that Metallica ripped off Spinal Tap :lol:

Never understood what the fuck this was supposed to be. What does this have to do with Extreme and their music??

Harsh! But, agree in a way. They wanted to convince everyone they were a different band. Got rid of their logo (one of the best and most recognised) and also their successful art scheme started with Pyromania. Dumb all round.

Yeah, after "Adrenalize" and "The Vault", which contained killer live stuff, this release was too much of a departure for me.

The "no logo" artwork and Joe Elliot styling his hair to look like Steffi Graf, wasn't a good sign in terms of a classic Leppard album.

      Babymetal

      I have been a Band Maid fan since their early days (2015) as I really don't mind foreign vocals as long as the music is great, but I always kinda avoided Babymetal as I saw a video of them once and really wasn't impressed with the kiddy vocals, so never gave them another chance. Fast forward to now and on the back of the collab with Electric Callboy I have decided to give them a go. I thought they had a huge discography as they have like 25 albums, but on closer inspection it is only four studio albums and 21 live albums. As I am not a fan of live albums anyway, I decided to buy the four studio albums as they are all quite cheap. Have to say there music is a mixed bag, but overall really enjoying a lot of it. Not sure if I just picked the wrong song to start with, or if it is just that I have adapted more due to getting into a lot of weird and wonderful foreign bands over the last few years, but I am glad I finally gave them a proper go. Have to say, if this song was sung in English I think they would have a lot of fans on here
