The Moon & Antartica is a great album, probably my favourite Modest Mouse, but this is an embarrassingly terrible cover:
Tim by the Replacements is a great album, but it has a terrible cover:

Always thought it was a shame this cover is so bad, it actively negatively affects my opinion of the album. Then I listen to it and remember it’s brilliant.

It’s particularly weird because all their other albums have great covers - Dig Me Out, The Woods and All Hands on the Bad One especially
agreed, The Hot Rock cover photo is instantly iconic as well.
No idea what they were thinking with this one.
