I absolutely loathe the Hard Candy album artwork mainly because the photos of Madonna were done in a boxing-themed shoot, but they changed the album's theme at the last minute and photoshopped her with candy backgrounds, and it's just atrocious. Considering how polished an artist like Madonna is, this is just utterly obnoxious. 

I agree, but even the OG concept's photos look so bad. They should've done an entire new shoot.

The only thing that saves HC is the vinyl discs.

the entire album photoshoot was :firega:

This shot is my favorite. 0dfb651d77a707a29495d0d5de7c7d7e--dannii

 

But I think the cover is perfect. Its just so visually appealing to me. Her pose, all the white space, the lines everything!

Considering all the other images we had at that time of the era, I’m still confused as to why we got the worst looking picture (a startled-looking DragKylie) for this album:

Same with Rina’s latest album (although at least it’s giving avant-garde):

Other notable mentions that first came to mind:

Heaven & Hell - Ava Max. I wouldn’t say it’s bad, but it’s definitely underwhelming.57-B523-D1-B3-AA-4618-B0-BA-ADBA668-AEC0

Especially with these images from the album photoshoot being way better. 4-C1-A135-C-3-ED1-4-F84-90-BB-829-E7-B064-F835-F07-047-D-4-C9-E-9-AF1-B5-B3-A891C119-CCA5-6205-4-BA8-96-B2-63-EAB7-D9956

I hate the fact that their best album and an album which gave us some of the best British pop perfection of the last two decades has such a basic cover and is their only album cover that they aren't even pictured on.

Did not expect Girls Aloud fans to be here :diane:

They actually have such a good discography and I agree this album cover is a bit.. :ladyhaha:

An iconic album but such a bad artwork.

Britney_Spears_-_Blackout.png

This one would be my instant pick. Even tho it was taken by Ellen von Unwerth who is a fantastic photographer, it’s an absolute train wreck.

I don’t think most of the choices in this thread are actually that bad, it’s mostly a matter of personal preference.
