Title: Favorite Melvins album art?
Post by: Snivlem Yxes on March 27, 2006, 07:05:17 AM
I'm interested to know...
I've decided that COD is mine, I just love those brussel sprouts and rubber ducks...
Plus the bizarre juxtaposition idea in the whole thing is fantastic; Oranges and a cow... and the grand mountains in the background...
It may not be my favorite album but it's definately my favorite "Mackie job" for them.
So what about the rest of you? All of their visuals are amazing, the website has become an incredible spectacle... I haven't seen the book yet...
album art?!?!!?

I don't know. Houdini maybe. And by default Electroretard since I imagine it's the same Dennis the Menacesque little boy up to shenanigans.

I think Stoner Witch has great artwork and pictures.

I'm not sure if Mackie did this or not.

I think the picture of Buzz with that stoned look is awesome.

The X-ray of the Mood Ring, the fish, the whole release makes me happy.

HAT, Stag, Stoner Witch and Colossuss are my favourite "Mackies"

But I love em all!

Hm, it does contain an album. And if you consider all that paperwork around it album art, it's by far their best.

I actually kind of like that too.

I can't decide on what my overall favourite is though.

I always though the big vinyl honky with the black on black embossing was kinda the ultimate "black" album. Gotta go with Lysol tho.' No cover has ever so closely mirrored what the record sounds like imo.

I was wondering about the Lysol artwork the other day. The Beach Boys had a more stylised version of it as their Brother Records label logo back in the late '60s and bootleggers seem fond of using the exact same picture that is on Lysol for the covers of Beach Boys CDs. Anyone know where the picture came from?
