This Video Proves That A Terrible Album Cover Probably Means The Music Is Terrible, Too

Even in a music industry where streaming services are becoming more and more prevalent, the album artwork still holds some power. While not as powerful as in the heyday of vinyl, a well-designed cover can make a big impact on those surfing random music blogs or mining the depths of Spotify and Soundcloud. Many artists can get away with a boring or uninspired album cover (see: hip hop), but a terrible cover is sure to scare away any and all potential listeners. YouTube user Jimbo Stephens has proof: He put together a video of the music behind some of the worst album covers to ever exist. Now know that -- nine times out of 10 -- we made the right choice to ignore.

Except for you Devastatin' Dave (The Turntable Slave), you're the best. (STAY IN SCHOOL!)
