Bassed Loaded on the other hand is far too crowded.

Agreed. I think it would have been better if all the creatures around the skull were coloured differently. All that red was didn't work and compositionally it didn't all fit together too well.

Basses Loaded is just a terrible looking skull. The shape of the eye sockets and the dimple line next to it make it look like the skull has eyebrows and I using them to make a puzzled pansy look. Then the nose is this weird nutsack...

Speaking from a purely visual perspective and without trying to consider nostalgia, i would actually say one of my favourite album covers is Freak Puke. At least in terms of the Mackie, Ipecac ones.

Funnily enough, when i go back and look at all of them, i dare say Melvins have a LOT of bad cover art!! Or at least bad to me anyway. Bullhead, Stag, Houdini, Electroretard and the aforementioned Basses Loaded being frontrunners. Bullhead being easily their worst which is a shame since it's a great record.

Bullhead, Stag, Houdini, and Electroretard are iconic and awesome. Just a matter of opinion I guess.

I love all of them.  Pretty sure their goal all along was to make their artwork be silly on purpose to separate themselves from other bands that had crazy evil artwork that they were much heavier than musically.

agreed- The incongruous fruit basket made the heaviness of bullhead, for example, that much more noticeable. Much better than any typical 'heavy' artwork.

Mackie's art during the Kevin years was particularly well suited, too. I loved the trilogy art and I love the HAT art especially the singles with those brash polka dots. But Colossus of Destiny takes the cake. I find it so Melvinsy and intriguing. Nice typesetting and layout. Serene turned foreboding a bit.

I just ordered this combo. Couldn't pass up a bandana, and we'll, thought I might as well throw in a mask since my state just mandated it.

ordered 2 of the masks, the Stag skelly shirt and PAT vinyl. it arrived with only one mask in the package but they promptly sent me the other one.
