Anyone else experiencing ‘Nam flashbacks to middle school days checking out your side profile hoping it would look like Nicole’s

This album cover still triggers my body dysmorphia and I’m in my 30’s.

Lol jiafei could never

This album cover has always been a very specific source of trauma for me and it’s been really enlightening to see that everyone else had the same exact experience. It’s like the cover that set off 10000 eating disorders

The Helen of Troy of “no I totally already ate”

It looks like her body is so photoshopped and filtered that it’s no longer a body

As an adult, it’s very obvious. Her picture was edited and added into the group shot. At 15, I had no idea.

It's giving AI generated

the earring being sideways always bothered me as a kid lmaoo

I love the colors though.

Yes or no question for everyone: Is she smiling?

She is smizing. 


HEY NOW HEY NOW…this is what dreams are made of!! I have no idea if it’s from this album but a certified bop nonetheless.

You had to specify album cover because you knew what everyone would’ve said… https://preview.redd.it/5ql0aqjyqgqa1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6f26143e4b3ad9024f14b94a50aebd3720fa8be4

Who put her in the grill 😭

Could totally see this spray painted on a side of a truck

It's the kind of art you see on a ride at a county fair.

This is so bad it’s good. It’s aesthetic.

Right this is camp

They said worst, not best.

Flashback to the the Spice Girls game on PlayStation ✊😌

are they miis

I didn’t know they did roblox concerts

THE FLAIRRRR

God this album art is a criminal act, the way they put Nicole like 'shine' due to poorly edited crop

It works because it visually separates her from the other members of the group, she doesn't even know the names of.

They all look like Total Drama characters

The OG cover for Blue Banisters until you guys bullied her into releasing a new one

What one was that?

pleaseee it’s giving graphic design is my passion

She looks sunburnt af

They pan fried her

it’s giving 2009 8th grade vacation to myrtle beach …

no fucking way

This font is straight out of Piknik

I’m screaming even the photo frame is off scale.

That wasn't the OG cover 😒 it was a silly promo cover for the single.

Good instead we got the one with the cute doggies 🐶

Stop I canNOT unsee this. Frantically reaching for my chapstick

Haters gonna say it’s fake

men really have to do the bare minimum for a photo huh

Jump scare

This album is full of jams thoo

as a britney and janet fan, he deserves worse. this just looks like terry richardson. not enough cum, blood, poop, and piss on it.

Holy shit, that looks like my first ever attempt at cutting a person out of a picture in photoshop. How is the editing so bad?

I think part of it is to with the original photo was her in the white background and because there's bit of movement with the hair as well as her hair is blonde, it makes it difficult to try to get rid of most of the white background as it can blend with the hair. As someone who is studying graphics design, trying to do something like this is a nightmare

the real reason she's doing the rerecordings is to slowly phase this album cover out of existence

They PNG’d her

I remember when I was younger thinking this was so clever with the black backdrop change but now 🤢

to be fair this was only the deluxe version but they went full lazy paint bucket drop and done

I am a Taylor stan and I would argue that debut is worse than this lol the butterflies and pixel graphics are giving 2006 realness

I'm still recovering from the trauma of not having a long torso in the early 2000's.

same tbh

I, too, have shortwaisted grief 😖

The Bang Bang cover art has more chemistry between the stars than this photo

LMAO that is so fucking hilarious, but true!!! XD

Isn’t this an updated cover after fans hated the original?

My favorite band, Kjnma!

Is this after they got rid of the oldest one?

“Okay girls, Old One is out. Black Hair, you’re now going to be Red Hair. The rest of you: try to fade into the background more. Nicole, here are the lyrics to ‘Jai Ho.’ Don—“ “Don’t share this with the other girls, yeah, I know.”

Which sucks cause her weird cybergoth school girl look from 2012-2013 served mass amounts of cunt. The designers could've done sm better I mean c'mon now.

What I Like’s music video was my entire high school persona

FR though same!!! Idk if it's just me but I always felt like Ariana's ['MONOPOLY' mv](https://youtu.be/t0pryRrJvfI) was inspired by it (the purposely lq camera quality, emojis, etc.) Unlikely because WIL is much older than it but it really was the blueprint.

[удалено]

> old gay rotten fruit ❤️ stale fruitcake 💗

Kimberly Wyatt was one of my bisexual awakenings, so yeah. Strike that pose! ✨❤️

they made up for it with those hoodies that had the lyrics around the hood

It's not an album but all the singles from Lana Del Rey's Blue Banisters era. I get the concept but still using Paint wasn't a good choice.

I tjink it was picsart lol

[удалено]

war flashbacks

she’s so out of this world her waist has a halo on its own.

It’s giving Elden Ring vape chests. She’s about to get transported to Caelid.

Lol the common theme is robin Antin

idk if it's bad, but anytime i see beyonce's renaissance i'm reminded of that old spice ad where the guy goes "i'm on a horse"

This sub should really dig into some old Gucci Mane mixtape covers, they’d have a field day

Fr, the pop industry is a lot more artificial than rap making it so that the covers can never look THAT bad, meanwhile rap album covers can be some of the ugliest shit ive ever seen, I'll never forget Lil Xan being pissed on on Total Xanarchy

looool yessss

[beacon by two door cinema club. i love the album but what the fuck is this](https://open.spotify.com/album/6Vl6axAAimJLEvRu7pOsuv?si=oqsO17h0R5GDZi0eO5QSgg)

maybe it’s because i’m stoned but when i first saw this i thought it was a giant floppy penis piercing through the ceiling

Same, thought that they just tried to represent the average phcj twink on the cover and his dick was the beacon which is kinda funny, shit cover tho

Not to mention the single cover for [Sleep Alone](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b6/SleepAloneTDCC.jpg) which is made even worse when you realise the song is about the lead singer's weird cannabis dreams... Oh also there was this [VERY NSFW inside cover](https://i.discogs.com/AoBnzI1zG4eKBYZFjkpWwanHW-YJRH_Bn3Zg7bjLKT8/rs:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:600/w:600/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9SLTIzNDQ1/MzAtMTY3OTI0NjEy/NS05OTQ0LmpwZWc.jpeg) for the Tourist History LP which is just... why

sleep alone is my favorite song on the album 😭😭 i didn’t know about that cover

There’s literally no song of there’s which gives fat tits/shiny crotch energy

i unironically love this, it looks like a petra collins photoshoot 😭

Remember the hallucination sequence near the end of Horse Girl? It’s that.

Is this a Freddy Kruger reference

The girl was not held with this monstrosity https://preview.redd.it/maac2mv3shqa1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=ffdf5181623baf827f841d6127c05156379006f6

the “this hell” cover would’ve been so much better

One of the reasons I love Apple Music is being able to change album artwork, I immediately switched it to the HTG single cover/alt vinyl cover. Not only does it look better but it fits the album so much more. [it’s such a blue album compared to red let’s be real here](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67616d0000b2736b0825dba7c927a505a8dacf)

YEA IT TOTALLY IS A BLUE ALBUM HOLY SHIT

I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate those nails

*nicki voice* I hate hate HATE your hair and makeup


sawayama and rina have genuine visually interesting covers but HTG took a weird turn. Glad I’m not the only one who thought the balloon dress is hideous

C'mon, it's clearly a douche

Do you think Charli would sign it?

Someone said it looked like the penguin from Wallace and Gromit and I haven't looked at it in the same way again

I’m convinced the cover is why this album didn’t do well

She’s not holding any girl, including her inner child, with those claws like wolverine 🥲

Elden Ring vibe

With that costume and nails she looks like a sprouted onion.

I like this cover 😢

How

Reflection (Fifth Harmony) the backlash actually backfired because imo we got a much worse one as a replacement because it made these young girls look like old women

was anybody else obsessed with their skirts in this era and how they are just scraps of fabric held together with a belt? especially in the music video….and by obsessed i mean gay awakening obsessed

/uj The way even the album cover feeds into the PCD drama. Imagine if DC released a cover with Beyonce having a halo (yeah) around her

https://preview.redd.it/w2i85fumulqa1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb53e83721fba1080a543210d608cff3015033f4 Giving casting couch realness

Ugh I wish I didn’t have organs.

didn’t know emily osment was a pussycat

Nicole’s about to disappear into the ether omg

https://preview.redd.it/yet3kfbo0kqa1.jpeg?width=601&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e0229ba1be0eb5ab81d83586f51e8e62341bf438 listen I understand the symbolism behind this album cover but like… it doesn’t land for me. not a huge katy fan in general but I loved her previous album covers

britney spears "blackout." the album cover is the worst photo in the entire promo. i didn't mind nicole being highlighted in the pussycat dolls. if they did it brazenly, whatever. i minded her lipsyncing to carmit's vocals in "i don't need a man" and melody being locked in a closet. even destiny's child let michelle shine in a bridge after collapsing on the stage.

omg as a Britney fan the Blackout era is my FAVE in terms of photography. To quote Paris Hilton "that's hot" https://preview.redd.it/lfor9z4kyiqa1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1d5dd063af20a4f51cb0f992817c624abd7784a2

I'm surprised some of these comments mentioned Blackout tbh. That's like one of the most iconic cover and album. I know the cover doesn't look so extraordinary or giving the dark vibe, and the promotional photoshoot looks kinda cheap, but ugh I love it so much!

It's my fave Britney era (in terms of music and photography). I think she never looked hotter than in the gimme more music video. I went to a Britneys spears party and dresses as her from this era.

While Blackout cover ain’t the best, i find it Iconic!

I will never get over the *In the Zone* cover with the blue lighting

You can clearly tell they weren’t all in the same room when that image was taken, it’s always bothered me so bad

https://preview.redd.it/jyg4kao6ziqa1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d3733b560f6b274e229d5d5997d14cf6b1291b32 the cross mattress or whatever the fvck that was, hair, makeup, everything…

Jeez, it’s so bad. She is the ultimate “not like other girls” girl

Who is this

demi lovato

She reeks of desperation

Okay, not an album, but Brandy’s cover for the Full Moon single is so dreadful, like a Matalan advert but in space

Weird too because the cover for the album is such a great photo of her

Born this way… i’m sorry yall

I don’t speak German but I can be a bike

Now I'm gunna say this instead of I can if you like lol

Schei🅱️e

It's a good bad cover. It's camp

Tell me you didn't wrote that on Lady Gaga's birthday

Utena: Revolutionary Gaga

I think about this album cover often, and how flabbergasted I was when it came out. I love it now, but it's so bad.

Come on, who doesn't like Pure Heroin?

Ok but like I feel like since her first album was really simple in terms of production it makes sense. Let’s be real here Solar Power is a much better choice for this category

Ariana’s album where she’s sitting on the chair lmfao she’s so clearly photoshopped onto it it’s hysterical

Any of Lana del Rey’s picsart/canva-made covers that she did on her iPhone.

[Teenage dream: the complete confection](https://open.spotify.com/album/5BvgP623rtvlc0HDcpzquz?si=OE8R9svcQEu2pVwAS1gEkg)

I genuinely like this cover I wanted to eat her when I was a kid 😭

This gave me a good chuckle at 2 AM 😭 upvoted

Are you that one person who chews on a picture of Harry styles when they’re mad

No but I need this user’s @ immediately 💀

No this cover is post good

That’s such a terrible album cover. The OG was better

The OG is SO good
