Opeth's worst cover art?

[Bleakest Harvest]

This poll applies only to the front cover, not the booklet artwork, back cover or anything.

My vote goes to My Arms, Your Hearse. I thinks it looks horrible to be honest.

 

[Nephrenka]

I agree MAYH is the worst. Orchid will probably get most of the replies, but I think the artwork represents the music very well.

The MAYH cover is awesome. Not in the artistic sense, but in it's atmosphere.

 

[Bleakest Harvest]

Oooh yes, you cant beat the atmosphere of a drain can you!

 

[MountainDweller]

I'd like to know if that's a new cover and if that's really how it looks when shipped. When did it start being made like that? I like the MAYH cover (the original). It's nothing spectacular, but it has an eerie feel to it with the darkness...the water...the forest...the cloaked person. Ghostly.

MAYH cover sets the tone perfectly.

 

[GoufCustom]

MAYH, it does set the tone, but the font of the letters just turn me off.

 

[Chromatose]

It may be their best album, but it has the worst cover ...



=> MAYH

MAYH. It's a fucking ugly blob.

I voted for MAYH. I don't think it's that bad, but it's rather abstract considering...

 

[JesusChristPose]

Still Life ~ Ugly red.

How could anyone vote for MAYH? I love the haunting figure standing next to the entrance. It's bluriness serves a very good purpose, fits the mysteriousness of the album well. Haunting.
I voted for Orchid. I think the flower is beautiful, but in correlation with the music it dosn't really do anything for me, not very fitting. Though at the time the album really did stick out (as did the cover) so it has an obvious purpose, but isn't fitting to the music for me.

MAYH.


ok it really sums up the album well BUT...

i could find about 100 other covers which look better AND still hold that same feeling

I agree totally. the MAYH cover is great!
I'd vote for Orchid, too. it's not a bad one, but well it's just a flower you know

 

[Masters Apprentice]

I voted for MAYH...for reasons already mentioned in this topic.

 

[DEEK]

MAYH- i just don't get the cover (although that's probably the point)

 

[Staffan]

Hey orchid rules!!!

MAYH doesn't though

(covers)

MAYH is really cool..... it has a very creepy feeling to it, with the forest and the very shadowed figure.... They are all cool, but I had to vote for Orchid....

 

[Kushantaiidan]
