Now that's what I call a crap album cover...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Well, I didn't like Maximum Security, and I feel that they lost it after Another Planet, but otherwise, yeh the music is major yummy.

Used to love showing people the cover of Here Cum Germs and saying "hey! look what I've got!!!" Even had it painted on my bag back in the day. :D

Still horrible though, but I do love it precisely because of that.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Not particularly fond of this one either:

Though more in a 'scares me' kinda way, it's really quite odd...

At least the song is very well pictured. 8)

King Crimson, In the Court of the Crimson King actually.

Hadn't thought about the link between the song and the cover yet, actually. But as I said it's not necessarily bad, it's just, well, there's something to it I'm not comfortable with :lol:

Of course I know that. But I've always figured the wee guy on the cover was schizoid man rather than Crimson king. My post probably wasn't well worded enough. :oops:
Should've been "20th century schizoid man indeed". ;D

But it seems we're trying to cut down on indeeds. :innocent:

Pure Crap!
I suppose it makes sense
if there are songs about deer humping on the CD.

Horses for courses, I guess. I rather like Vision Thing.
