Spoilt by the cover and the content.
My work computer has a slightly flickery screen which has a very strange effect on that cover.
I think I'm in danger of being hyponiti…..
The story behind what is often regarded as the worst album cover of all time.
But I’m not keen on Time And A Word - the woman looks tied up, even though it’s probably not meant to be.
"Take these three items, some WD-40, a vise grip, and a roll of duct tape. Any man worth his salt can fix almost any problem with this stuff alone." - Walt Kowalski
"Only two things are infinite - the universe, and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the universe." - Albert Einstein
The cover of Strict Tempo by Richard Thompson seems cheesy until you realise that it is a spoof.
Is the content of the sleeve artwork obliged to integrate with the audio content?
The front and back of Dark Side Of The Moon look extremely distinctive but signify nothing to do with the music.
Conversely, the inner sleeve of “i” by Patrick Moraz says a great deal about the composer’s thoughts on the content.
The covers of the albums Velvet Underground & Nico and Sticky Fingers tell us more about the interests of Andy Warhol than they do about the optional entertainment contained within.
The current denial stance stems from fear of what others MIGHT think of adult males who dare to own and look at the photograph of Mariora Goschen.
Assumed thought crime, methinks.
By this logic, a whole bunch of master paintings are also going to need censoring or destroying.
When did British society revert to being so hung up about nudity?
I ruined the cover of my Shakira album.
In hindsight I should've left the plastic wrap on it.

Luckily it comes from the good era of Pantera.
I never know if you're being serious with comments like that (first part). There are certainly hundreds - thousands - of metal albums with terrible GCSE-project dungeons and dragons cover paintings.... which shouldn't put anyone off investigating the contents.
As for good era Pantera, I've only listened to the first four albums a couple of times. I think I liked two of them but wasn't crazy about the others. I forget which. But I don't particularly like all the later albums either.
To go back to the OP, I can't really think of any album cover which would actually ruin an album for me, or stop me buying it. They're just pictures.
