If you're ever heard Rage's music. They're not exactly subtle.

Yes. I've heard their music. It's supposed to be this 'persuasive ,let's rock against the man' music.

How is the album cover supposed to be persuading anyone to rise against authority? If anything it shows they are a bit naiive. I doubt they've ever experienced or will experience what the man in that picture went through.In my opinion the aim was to hock their chessy merchendise sorry. A picture of a man being burned alive is not cool,especially one that died for what he believed in ,in such extreme circumstances.

Or else they're pointing out what lengths some people go to in support of their ideals, while others do absolutely nothing at all.
But I dunno, I haven't asked them

Yawn.

Getting back to the point of the thread, instead of showing moronic googled "joke" covers of albums no one has ever previously heard of, here is one of my worst from my itunes:

Coldplay trying way too hard:

Bus77II

These lads spent years bandwagon jumping on conflicting causes and using imagery and second-hand slogans that make f-all sense outside of being provocative.

Sure, the lead single from the album in question was Christmas number 1, 17 years after it was released, on the same label as the song it was "raging against", they're champagne communists and renowned hypocrites so don’t let their choice of album art get to you too much.

Metallica's Black Album was terrible. Lets get a 3 year old to draw a snake, put it in a black colour, against a darker black. Yay!

Oh c'mon, that's hilarious because of the Movie, but the black album is just pathetic in terms of artwork.

This album cover makes me weep. Shame because it's not a bad record (although the synths are a little dated).
