Yeah these are pretty awful but are still reflecting an endearing perfunctory attitude in their own cheesiness.

^I remember that cover kind of freaking me out when I would browse through the metal section in the local music library when I was a kid. :-)

I love the "Born Again Cover". To quote Geezer Butler "It's sh*t, but it's great".

Come to think of it, most of Sabbath's album covers were awful.

Three (out of many) silly metal album covers. Remember: silly can be good.

I disagree with a lot of that list. Leprosy is fantastic (if a bit disturbing)! Same goes for Warmaster by Bolt Thrower and Trilogy by Yngwie...
i agree
 
A lot of those album covers were great
 
How dare they pick on Manowar! I love those guys - I do agreetho with Ratt and tankard - pretty silly and Pretty Boy Floyd and those other toy boy bads were appalling.

I've never listened to this album, but its cover certainly makes me not want to listen to it.
 
 
Seriously? A shirtless man with an armadillo's head? In front of a stone wall? With a band logo that looks so 90s that you wonder what it ties into this thing on the cover? At least Trilogy by Malmsteen looks epic in a way.
Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want.

Ed Repka (Who did "Leprosy" and MANY others) is a MASTER and is excellent at capturing Horror, Facial Expressions and memorable Characters: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Repka

^^ Yeah I'm a fan of the Trilogy album cover as well.  Corny as hell, I'll admit.
