Poorly designed album covers

Have you ever wanted to redesign an album cover because you hated it so much?

One of my favorite albums is Foo Fighters "One by One." The album is amazing but the artwork they picked for their cover is terrible. I like it when bands create pictures or artwork that relates to the name of the album. I don't know how this heart relates.

Do you have any good examples?

You're obviously not looking hard enough.

Yes! So many times. Even though I have no artistic abilities at all to do so. But I'd totally change The Shins "Wincing The Night Away" to something less, science book looking. Also Mew's album "And the Glass Handed Kites". Hands down one of my favorite albums of the past few years. But man just look at this cover...
