Hanner Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Every year Pitchfork picks what they think are the worst album covers of the year. 21st Century Breakdown is on the list. Its not my favorite album cover of theirs but i do like it, and it defiantly wasn't one of the worst of 2009http://pitchfork.com/features/staff-lists/...covers-of-2009/"There are album covers that are illuminating works in their own right, covers that reveal hidden depths to the music inside, and covers that advance the state of the graphic designer's art. And then there are these 20. Our annual tradition highlighting the worst cover art of the year-- goofy, offensive, amateurish, and puzzling, it's all here-- continues with the dregs of 2009. Not safe for people at work or those prone to nausea."Green Day is about halfway down the list. some of the other ones are pretty bad tho what do you guys think?
HoneyDo666 Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 I love 21CB's cover! I think it's very powerful and obviously very reflective of the themes of the album.Some of those albums really are awful though...
Bohemian+Scandal Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Lol!Yeah, it's definitely not my favorite album cover...It's surely not as bad as all the ones surrounding it on that list though.
Just Overjoyed Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Its pitchfork, so they're of course going to be hypercritical of Green Day. I think 21CB's cover is maybe a little bland, but definitely not horrendous like some of the others its been compared with.Also, I'm pretty sure Sum 41 makes their album covers as retarded as possible on purpose...
Brooklynn Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 i really like 21st CB's album cover.Of course, its not Green Day's best BUT its not bad.I personally don't believe it belongs on the list.most of the other covers the site listed to though

gabbag Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Wow, it definitely is not as bad as some of those album covers on that site...I mean some of them were just horrible. I like 21CB cover.
Jinjonator Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 I rather like 21st Century Breakdown's cover.
heartscollide Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 OMFG.The Neil Young cover. :lol: :/ 21stCB was never my favourite, but They don't actually say what's bad with it.it's totally sweet imo.and LOL at the Sum 41 one. hahahahah
greenday801440 Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Their album cover was not that bad at all, I actually liked it.... but it absolutely WAS NOT as bad as the ones on that list..... :down:

Robin105 Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 No you know who had the worst album cover of 2009? 2 words Adam Lambert!
heartscollide Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 No you know who had the worst album cover of 2009? 2 words Adam Lambert!-shivers- That really is terrible.
Just Overjoyed Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 No you know who had the worst album cover of 2009? 2 words Adam Lambert!Its funny, he got a mention in the article, but his actual album never surfaced. Thought for sure I'd be seeing it as I scrolled down the page lol
Clayish Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Pitchfork hates Green Day and 21st Century Breakdown.They are so ignorant is not even funny.
Bohemian+Scandal Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 No you know who had the worst album cover of 2009? 2 words Adam Lambert!I don't think it's the worst, but it's pretty bad. I imagined something so much cooler for him. I pictured canes and top hats and possibly cyber arms. Oh how I was disappointed.
Hermione Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Pah, Pitchfork can kiss my arse.No you know who had the worst album cover of 2009? 2 words Adam Lambert!No! I LOVE the Adam Lambert cover . They went all-out with it even down to the fabulous silver lettering and it looks like it came straight from 1985.....quite frankly it is amazing!
Bohemian+Scandal Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 No! I LOVE the Adam Lambert cover . They went all-out with it even down to the fabulous silver lettering and it looks like it came straight from 1985.....quite frankly it is amazing!I think I would have liked it more if he was wearing a shirt. Since he's all glam photoshopped he's all soft looking and so his lack of shirt somehow looks sort of creepy to me. Lol....the donut. I have no idea who Dark Meat is, but their album cover is awesome.
newsflash777 Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 WTF, did you guys see the other covers!? 21CB is fucking gorgeous. They can shut the fuck up.
champagne mami Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 WTF, did you guys see the other covers!? 21CB is fucking gorgeous. They can shut the fuck up.This.
Sarahnade. Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 21CB isn't my favorite cover, but it's still great. It shows you what some of the album is about pretty clearly - Christian and Gloria. I think it's a powerful cover, but simple. I don't see what's bad about it; it doesn't deserve on that list compared to the others.
