The Middle of Culture is what happens when two siblings with too many opinions and not enough chill dive headfirst into movies, music, video games, and whatever else is rotting our brains this week. It’s part pop culture podcast, part sibling rivalry, and fully unfiltered. Expect passionate arguments, niche references, unsolicited rankings, and the occasional moment of unexpected insight. If you’ve ever wanted to eavesdrop on the kind of argument you’d hear at the family dinner table—only with better audio—this is your show.
Eden
00:00
It would be above S tier if there was something above S tier. It's that good. Hey
Peter
00:15
Welcome back to the Middle of Culture. I am one of your hosts, Peter.
Eden
00:19
And I am your other, not quite so froggy voiced host uh host, Eden. Eden, how are you? Less froggy voiced. You gotta really like Deep one today.
Peter
00:30
Well, you know, I think if I uh do a little clear, maybe it will be less deep, but who knows? Maybe it will be the same. That's okay. But you mentioned that it's toasty out there hitting that time of year.
Eden
00:42
It's quite warm today. It's getting that time of year. Um I should have mowed my lawn today. I didn't mow my lawn today. Yay. I'll do it on Tuesday. I don't know. I didn't feel like mowing today. I should have. I didn't. Yeah. You know how it is.
Peter
00:57
Oh, I totally do. I I made myself mow mine yesterday and I'm glad because now I feel like garbage. And so I definitely wouldn't want to do it tomorrow
Eden
01:06
I bet it was because you mowed. It's your body saying, How dare you mow that grass? You should just let it grow forever. That's it. I think. I think you're right. But It's your body saying you need to re-prairie this ground. Not that you do prairie out there. You need to re-desert your life.
Peter
01:21
I was gonna say here it would just go to, you know, if we if we stopped it would all just turn brown and go to dust. So
Eden
01:28
you know, that's okay.
Peter
01:30
There there are worse things, but
Eden
01:32
there
Peter
01:33
are. Well, what you been checking out lately?
Eden
01:37
Um, let's see. Uh we had uh outdoor movie night last weekend. Okay. It was kind of a mess because we were trying with all our might to use a projector and it was just too dang ding ding dang like you know like and and the problem was we had friends coming with their family so we couldn't start the movie too late because bed times. So we needed to get going on a relatively like a bit earlier than we maybe would have if we were trying to do it outline So what did we end up doing? We took our TV outside and watched it on the big TV outside. But it worked out fine. Uh importantly, what movie did we watch? 1998 classic, Godzilla, starring Matthew Broderick, Hank Azaria, Jean Renault, and two Siskel and Ebert uh Fakos. There you go. It's still good. The tricky about that movie is it's still good. Since we went and saw it together in that theater in North Salt Lake across from the Kmart. Well you should watch it again, because it's pretty good. Um, people will say it's not good. And I'm not saying I'm not out here saying it's incredible. I'm not out here saying it's a masterpiece. And I will say the acting is largely very bad. The acting, not good. Matthew Broderick perhaps doing the worst role of his career that I personally have seen. Um, his girlfriend, I've never seen her in anything before or since. So clearly she she was not, you know, breaking hearts. Hank Azaria is doing some of the worst work of his career. Jean Renault is there, being Jean Renault. Sure. Uh But it has a great narrative propulsion to it. Like there's no real wasted time. or wasted scenes. Everything feels like it has a purpose and builds to a really good climax. Um it's very fun. I like the monster design. I know a lot of people don't like that Godzilla design. I like it. Um and also it it has to be said, as my friend L uh mentioned as they were watching the movie with us, trans mask icon. American Godzilla, because they keep he hemming him, but he do be laying a lot of eggs.
Peter
04:00
It's true. It's true. Godzilla is laying a lot of eggs in that movie
Eden
04:04
For being a he him, so uh trans mask king, Godzilla. Uh yeah, we watched that. It was fun. It was fun to have people over I was very extra and put together a 30 plus minute pre-show reel that was like a series of, you know, f uh bumpers from movie theaters, like the enjoy the show thing. Sure. Some advertisements. some trailers, a couple shorts, um, just as like a fun thing to show while people were like settling down and eating food and getting drinks and all that sort of stuff. It was fairly fun. That is fun. Um, put some put some real goofy trailers in there that people had never seen before. People had never heard of Big Man Japan. Um, so now everyone afterwards was like, do I need to watch Big Man Japan? And I was like, maybe. I'm not out here to tell you yes, you have to, but I am saying maybe if you want to.
Peter
05:00
Yeah, kids an option.
Eden
05:02
Yeah. Um yeah, but it was fun. I we I showed a bunch of people who had never seen it before the fan animations for Daikon 3 and Daikon 4. Um, which listeners, if you're not familiar with these, um they were fan animations done to kick off some like pop culture cons in the eighties in Japan. It was called Diecon. Um and It is notable because it was a bunch of student animators basically doing this fun, you know, fan animation. Like it's this girl and she fights against the Gundam that turns into the Ideon, and then the Millennium Falcon is there, and then the Enterprise is there, and then Battleship Space Battleship Yamato is there, and the Macross is there. And so like it's really just like the m most blatant copyright uh violations in the world and great pop culture pastiche, but why it's important. Is that this series of student filmmakers would then go on to form Studio Gynax, which is one of the most important anime studios of the last 40 years. Some shows you might some shows you might know from Studio GyMax. Uh maybe a little show you've never maybe heard of called Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Peter
06:19
I have heard of that.
Eden
06:20
It was those guys. Uh and you know, there's still a lot of them are still active in uh in anime to this day. Many of them left Gynax and formed Trigger, which is still doing stuff, you know. uh uh season two of Dungeon Delicious and Dungeon 1 guys. Uh so you know they're still out there doing things and it was fun to watch this really early fan animation and show people this is what these guys just did in the 80s for fun Uh and you can see the way that it would influence their later work. Cool. But yeah, that was a lot of fun. Nice. The other big thing that's worth mentioning, uh, I'm gonna send you a picture, Peter. I've been working on RuneBox 3. Uh and I finally got all of the interiors done. Now I'm just getting the uh the final decor and the model kits ready, but I'm gonna text you a picture. You can see room box three, the laundering. I'm making a laundry room. Nice. I love it. It's a little laundry room. It's got a boatload of of uh washers. It's got a uh arcade cabinet, it's got a a vending machine. And importantly, that felt table has accurate 112th scale, fully playable uh mahjong set that's gonna go on.
Peter
07:35
Oh, that's fantastic.
Eden
07:36
All all 144 tiles. It is a full Chinese Mahjong set. It's not a full American Mahjong set. It doesn't have all of the stuff that an American set has, but it has everything that a Chinese Mahjong set has. That's awesome. So I am I've got those all trimmed out and I'm getting ready to put them out on the table. And then I have been building a whole lot of models. And the fun thing that I'm trying to do with this one. is they're all mostly models of people. Uh and so I am trying to put them in software, like soft clothing instead of just having them be plastic models. Okay. So ooh, I I have one right here I can show you as an example. Check out RC in her uh um sweatpants.
Peter
08:19
Very nice, very nice.
Eden
08:21
Yeah she's looking comfy so Yeah, looking comfy, looking ready to play some Mahjong. Uh so anyway, I have a whole bunch of them in clothes like that. I'm getting the last few pieces to finish putting that all together in the lat in the next uh week or so. Nice. Uh Cassie had a great idea that on that big empty wall next to the uh the arcade cabinet, I'm gonna try to make a bulletin board. Okay. With like bunches of little things stuck to it. So I've been working hard on a model kit uh this model scenario thing again, making this room box and having a lot of fun with it. That's awesome. And then the last thing I'll mention, I haven't had a whole lot of chance to listen to it because it came out on Friday. Uh Laceraphim has a new album out. So my probably my favorite K-pop band. They got a new one. It's pretty good so far. Uh the second song on it does sample La Macarena, which made me feel about 10,000 years old uh as we were talking about La Macarena at work. And the young kids who work at the comic shop were like, oh yeah, that's from like before we were born. And I'm like, oh I was in junior high when that got popular.
Peter
09:31
I was in Guatemala. You yeah, you were a full adult. Yeah, yes, I was.
Eden
09:39
But anyway, that's kind of what I've been up to. What have you been up to?
Peter
09:42
A couple things worth mentioning. Uh still working on Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 8. You know, I I I'll listen to it and then I won't listen to it for a week. I've come to a realization I mean, it's not that I came to this realization now, but when I started Dungeon Crawler Carl, I was looking for a respite from the existential heaviness of the three-body problem. And I thought I was going to find that in Dungeon Crawler Carl. And while it is lighter and a little goofier, it is still pretty thematically heavy and has gotten more so as the series goes on. And more and more, you know, humans die. I mean, we're down to like there's a couple thousand maybe humans left alive at this point in the dungeon. Oh, geez. Um And so it's all, you know, just horrible, horrible things happening uh as they try and survive and tear the system down. from inside. And so I will finish book eight and then I will be very glad that book nine is probably at least a year or two to come, maybe longer. I don't know how long it takes Matt Dinneman to crank these out. Um, but uh it will be good to have a forced break. And there's a part of me that's like, well, I need to go back and finish the three-body problem, but again. I need something light. And so I think I've realized where I'm going next. I it's it's time to just it's time to go into Discworld and start reading some Discworld sub-series. And just you know it's pretty good.
Eden
11:14
Terry Pratchett.
Peter
11:15
You know, and I've read a few Discworld ones and it's it's definitely what I think I'm looking for. It can have moments.
Eden
11:22
Yeah, because it's still like it 's still got some heft to it. It's got some narrative weight.
Peter
11:27
Like it's not complete, you know, just silly and fluffy, but it's
Eden
11:31
Yeah But there's there's also like a a a levity to it. They're very funny. They're very funny. Um and they don't feel quite as oppressive. And uh, you know, as you said, it's 2026. Sometimes you need Like I I if I need to feel oppressed, I just need to turn on the TV
Peter
11:49
or read the news. That's all it takes. So I think that's where I'll be going next, but hopefully I'll be finishing up Dungeon Crawler Carl the next little bit. So have you been listening to all of the Dungeon Crawler Carl books?
Eden
12:00
So you've been reading.
Peter
12:01
I do both, but I've mostly listened to them because Jeff Hayes is really so entertaining. meaning as a voice actor, um that that it's it's a lot of fun to listen to them.
Eden
12:12
Has he done has he done other books that you've read or are you familiar with his work ul
Peter
12:15
ultimate? But it's it's impressive. You know he does There is a different voice for every character in the book, and he does them all. So
Eden
12:26
I really like that. I've t I was talking with a friend, this was I guess a couple months ago now. I I guess longer ago than that, because it was when I was listening to the I'm in Love with the Villainess uh book uh books on the audiobooks. Uh and that uh narrator also had a distinct voice for every single character. Um, and I was, you know, singing her praises uh as I was talking to someone about it. And my friend was like, I actually don't like that. That really takes me out. I just Just read the book to me. And I was like, ah, that's an interesting perspective.
Peter
12:59
You know, it's interesting to me because most of the time I would agree. Uh I I don't know what it is about the way Jeff Hayes does this that really clicks for me. I listened to some of the versions of the MurderBot ones I got were the dramatized adaptations.
Eden
13:18
Oh, with like a full cast.
Peter
13:19
Yeah, and I did not like those at all. I don't know why this works different because that's not for me. Because I I didn't like those, but I I do like what he's doing. here. So you know what I could listen to though again
Eden
13:32
thinking about dramatized audio. Maybe it's time to listen to the Star Wars radio plays again. Maybe it's time to really lean into Wow, the homo eroticism between Biggs Darklighter and Luke Skywalker is so potent. I don't think you realize what you were cooking with, uh, George. But this This twink is gay. That's funny. For his best friend Brit Biggs Darklihder. You listen to that and you're like, oh, this boy gay. That's funny.
Peter
13:58
Have never listened to.
Eden
13:59
Have you ever listened to those? They're good. They're really good. I would recommend it if you've never listened to them. And if you just wanted to like, it's an interesting way to revisit Star Wars, because you know the story of Star Wars. It's you know, we've s both seen those movies eight billion times. Uh I don't need to ever re-watch them again. I'm I probably will at some point re-watch Star Wars. I don't know that I'll ever watch Return of the Jedi again in my life. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. But revisiting them because they're reworked into an audio format, there's a lot of addition in certain spots or full scenes that exist only in the audio play. Um, that's where you find out that all of Luke's friends other than Biggs on Tatooine call him Wormy. That's his nickname. Which is the worst nickname. That is a terrible nickname. You can tell these people do not like Luke Skywalker. He is the kid who hangs around and is in love with their leader bits. And that's like that is what is happening in that uh audio drama. So it's that much more potent when they meet up together and they have like a beautiful scene together as they meet in the bass on Yavin 4 And you know Biggs ain't coming back from that Death Star run.
Peter
15:10
It's true.
Eden
15:11
It's Luke Wedge and like two other ships. That's it. So
Peter
15:16
it's good. It's real good. Cool. Well maybe I'll have to check it out. I still have such a mental block to anything Star Wars related that the thought of it just makes me go, nah, that's not happening.
Eden
15:27
Listen, I get it. When I was at the comic shop yesterday, my boss was like, you know, it's been a while since we went on a field trip somewhere. And like went to a movie together. Should we all go see Mandalorian and Grogu? And I said, Dog, there's no world where I want to go see the Mandalorian and Grogu. No, thank you.
Peter
15:45
No, I'm with you there. Not interested in the leaf.
Eden
15:48
Even if I had watched seasons two and three of The Mandalorian, I still don't think I'd want to go see Grogu. But I have also not watched any of that show since the first season, because I don't give a shit.
Peter
16:01
No, that's basically how I feel too. So But
Eden
16:04
Star Wars is still in there. I still rotate it in my head from time to time. It's true. It's true.
Peter
16:10
Um, let's see, what else? Uh speaking of things that are more light, uh listen, I finished the good place this week. Uh it was a delight. I I really enjoyed it. I laughed out loud. It was just good. It's a it's a series about people literally just trying to be better and help other people be better. And again, that was beautiful. It was a great thing. Now I'm sad that we're done.
Eden
16:35
Yeah.
Peter
16:36
Um
Eden
16:37
You know, it's always bittersweet when you get to the end of something like that, especially when it's like a good thing. Like I know the good place was good and it's pretty much good all the way through as far as I understand. Like there's not like a big drop in quality like there is for I feel like especially comedies. Yeah. It's real they It's hard to sustain those past maybe five seasons. Well, I think that that's there's always a drop-off after that.
Peter
16:58
I think that's where the good place benefited from the fact that it's four seasons of thirteen episodes a season.
Eden
17:03
Exactly. It's short.
Peter
17:05
So it was pretty
Eden
17:06
It's not quite British short where it's like six oh my series has six episodes and you'll get another one in seven years, pip pip Cheerio. Like it's more than that, but it's not 22 episodes every single year for nine years straight.
Peter
17:21
Yeah. So uh a couple other things. Forza Horizon six is out, and you know what's a great game? Forza Horizon six. This one in Japan, if I remember correctly. It's a ton of fun. I mean it's nothing surprising But the playground games team just like they they bring it every few years. A new Forza Horizon drops and you have gorgeous scenery. And you have incredibly cool looking cars and just tons of them to find, to win, to unlock, to buy, to whatever. Tons of different kinds, I mean just so much stuff to do all over the place. And I'm just having a heck of a time. I think I've put maybe 15, 16 hours into it over the week or so. So yeah, I am thoroughly enjoying it. I'm never going to be playing it as hardcore as some of the people who play these games, but You know, right now it is it is a really, really good diversion. And it's easy to sit down and play for 20 minutes or so because it's hop in. do a couple events and then you know bounce out if I want or sit there for an hour or two and just race and race and race. And yeah. So I'm really, really enjoying Forza Horizons. And then finally, a little bit of music stuff. One of the new albums that came out that kind of interests me is the new album A Pale White Dot by the band Periphery. Eden, have you ever listened to Periphery?
Eden
18:51
No.
Peter
18:52
So I first discovered periphery back in the early, probably early 20 teens when I was getting into Gent, you know, when it was all the rage. Periphery was one of those bands. And I've kind of always liked them, but they're similar to Koheed and Cambria in that every Periphery album will have for me a couple really good songs, a handful of, oh, all right songs, and then some stuff where I'm just like, uh, I don't love this. Um some
Eden
19:22
real stinkers.
Peter
19:23
Yeah, I I haven't noticed that with this most recent one. It feels again similar to and I'm trying to remember what album it was that I was describing this for, uh, but it seems like they've kind of They kind of knocked off the highs and the lows. So yes, it is a little more mediocre album, but it's also a more consistent album. Uh it I yeah, I haven't listened to it a ton, but it's definitely something that It was interesting and I do find periphery an interesting band. But the more the bigger thing that I wanted to mention is I went down to Salt Lake this week to see the Amon Clock Tour, Amon Amarth and Deathclock. Uh Castle Rat opened. Castle Rat was fun. It was a short set, maybe only about not quite even a full 30 minutes. But they're good, kind of a more traditional heavy metal sound with elements of doom. Uh then it was Amana Marth, and Amana Marth was a blast. Amana Marth is so much fun. Johan Heg, the lead vocalist, he does a great job of engaging the audience. The audience is, you know, singing along and he's raising his horn with, you know, some who knows what the actual beverage is, but he's raising his horn up. And then at multi, you know, different points during the concert, the whole audience basically sits down on the ground and we're rowing Viking long ships during a song. Uh we went uh a friend and I from up here went down and we met a couple guys down in Salt Lake who had never been to a metal show before. And they were just having the time of their lives. They thought it was so much fun. They got in the pit, did a few cer, you know, loops through the pit, and then got out, and we had a good time. And then Deathclock closed, and I'm gonna be honest and tell you, I will never waste my time or money to go see Deathclock live. again.
Eden
21:08
Yeah the one time I saw Death Clock Live, it was I I had a good time, but I think that Death Clock one but that's because I was there it was Deathclock at Mastodon you know it puts on a hell of a show mastodon especially late aughts like uh What was that? Crack the Sky Era Mastodon? Jesus Christ, that was a hell of a show. Uh but it so it that part was better than the Death Clock part. The thing about the Death Clock is it's It's a fun gimmick that there's an entire show of the Deathclock boys doing the banding behind the actual band. But that means that it's it's le it takes me away from the music.
Peter
21:52
Yeah.
Eden
21:52
It leaves me at a remove from the music.
Peter
21:55
Well, and see part of the problem for me is I've never watched Metalocolyp. I am familiar with Deathclock. I've never really listened to any of the Death albums either. They just, it's like I've known of them and I've listened to a little bit here and there, but I never liked them enough. I always thought the gimmick put me off just a little bit. And so they're playing up there and it's mostly, you know, there's no real crowd interaction. It's all the stuff on the screen.
Eden
22:21
No, yeah, that's the thing that really is not as engaging as many other artists. It feels like it's the same sort of thing that I would imagine it's like when you go to see like a DJ or something like that, where they're not You're not interacting with the music in the same way because the spectacle behind them is the show, not them doing the thing. I mean,
Peter
22:46
they sound a good live, but again, their songs are the nice thing about Amonamarth is where they're more of a melodic death metal band, their songs even though it's growls, they feel anthemic and the choruses can feel, you know, they're all about, ah, let's, you know, fight. We're Vikings. We're gonna stick together and Avenge, you know, whatever. And and this uh with the death clock, it was just I'm glad I went
Eden
23:11
from death clock.
Peter
23:11
No, and I'm glad I went to the show But again, I don't see myself ever going to see Death Deathclock again. And I'm okay with that.
Eden
23:20
That's fair. That's fair. Honestly, uh as much as I I I talked about liking the Mastodon part of that show, honestly, do you know what the best part of that show was? Uh the opener converge.
Peter
23:32
Oh yeah, that'd be a good show. That'd be good
Eden
23:35
Also high on life, but nobody I don't care about high on life. They're fine. But I was like, what are you doing? High on fire. That's what I said. High on life is that bad video game where you're gun. Where where your gun is like
Peter
23:48
pooping and farting. Yeah, that was that was one of the more I think I got it from a humble bundle and so I was like, sure, I'll fire this up. And it did not take very long for me to go. This game is too puerile even for me
Eden
23:59
Yeah, I absolutely got it in a humble bundle. I've never even fired it up.
Peter
24:03
Yeah, don't know that I would bother. So but I think that's about it for me. So should we get on to the surprise?
Eden
24:10
I do well I have one thing that I should mention. Um I forgot to mention earlier on. Uh Uh big the anniversary patch for Wuthering Waves has been for the past few weeks uh You know you know it's a pretty good game. If you want it if folks, if you want a free-to-play big open world game that starts a little rough, I'm not gonna lie, and say that the first two patches story is well written But it gets really quite good. Y'all should play Withering Waves. And also the important part is the combat is the best I've ever played in one of those games. Okay. uh the interplay between parrying and dodging and needing to power up your you know like for example in your usual team comp is a team of three you've got a support you've got a sub-dps you've got a main dps And so you're gonna be wanting doing want to do things like having your support throw their buffs, making sure your sub-DPS has got a buff up so that your main DPS can go and like be a nuclear bomb. Uh it's a pretty fun game. I'm having a lot of fun with it. The story has really gotten buck wild. Um and I'm I'm I'm having a very fun time uh going back to Withering Waves. At this point, it's that and Girls Frontline. Those are the only two gotchas I play anymore. I've stopped playing any of the Hoyo games. I've stopped playing any of the other ones that I've tried. It's just Wuthering Waves and the girls frontline. And Wuthering Waves because the combat is fun and the traversal is exciting. You have a bike in the new area and now the bike can fly because everyone complained about having a bike instead of being able to fly, which is what you could do in the previous area. So now the bike can fly. It's like they were like, fuck you. Fine. The bike can grow wings sometimes. Deal with it. But that does mean it's fun to traverse everywhere on your motorcycle that can then you push the E button and you fly into the air and grow wings. Uh it's a pretty fun game. There you go. Deserves deserves the shout-out. There you go. All right. So what is our uh surprise for today? So originally we were gonna
Peter
26:13
listeners, we were too lazy. We didn't want to watch a damn movie. And so I was even more lazy is uh let me just admit up front that Codex helped me out with this What's Codex? It is it 's the coding app from ChatGPT. It's kind of like Claude Code, but it's their version that it can do things for you. So I had the idea and I told Codex what to do and then it cranked away in the background for about 30 minutes while I was convalescing because again I was already feeling like poop yesterday. But here's what we got. I'm gonna share, I'm gonna share a window with you. Uh and we are going to do, and I will make sure that we've got album art. uh for this since this is kind of visual. But I thought it would be funny to gather together about 45 of what are widely considered the worst album covers of all time.
Eden
27:09
Worst.
Peter
27:10
Oh yeah. And we're going to we're gonna rank these in the tier list with S in this case being truly the worst. So if it's like it made the list and these and this is compiled from about 10 different sources, some websites, things from Reddit, that sort of thing where people are like, oh, these are just bad album cover, you know, art. album artwork. Alright. And so we're gonna rank these. So again, S means it's truly awful. D means So the higher the score The worse the the album cover is. Correct. Could you zoom in a bit? Oh I will. So when I click on each one, it will get bigger for us Okay, good. So I've thrown them in here. Some of them I don't really know that they belong, but they were being listed by some people, so we got them on here. We're gonna s
Eden
27:57
I see for example one that is an album that I just think is a really bad album. I don't think the cover is necessarily bad, but I do think this this the album sounds.
Peter
28:04
Yeah, some of them we'll like I say, we'll talk to them. We're gonna start here. I've shuffled it. We're gonna start with A good s a good starting point. And that, my friends, is Load by Metallica. Like I said, an album that I just think sucks. I think the album cover kinda sucks too, just because it's stupid and edgy.
Eden
28:23
Yeah.
Peter
28:24
Is this supposed to be blood? No, you don't know you don't know what this is?
Eden
28:28
No, I have no idea.
Peter
28:29
I don't give a fuck. This is semen metallic. This is bloody ejaculate.
Eden
28:33
But
Peter
28:33
That's why the album is called Load, Eden.
Eden
28:36
Oh, fuck off. Yeah. Metallica.
Peter
28:39
Yeah, so this was Metallica in their mid-90s edgelord phase. And it's a stupid album cover, it's a stupid name, but I don't think it's, I mean, compared to some of the others, I think this is like maybe a C.
Eden
28:53
Okay, that's
Peter
28:54
it. Like it's not great, but it's not awful. There are worse. Yeah. Because we got another one here that again, I think is gonna be about the same for me.
Eden
29:01
Oh my god. I love this album. It's a great album. The problem is, it's one of Iron Maiden's late period best albums. It is. Iron Maiden's Dance of Death, the worst cover they've ever put out. Which is saying something virtual eleven also exists.
Peter
29:17
Oh, this is so much worse than virtual eleven. This is
Eden
29:21
That's because it looks like It looks like an asset uh cash grab with just like shit they found in the Unity store.
Peter
29:28
Yeah, either that or it's like Baby's first Blender album cover. Oh
Eden
29:33
god, it's so bad.
Peter
29:34
It's real bad. And it's especially egregious because it is actually musically such a good album.
Eden
29:41
It genuinely, like, of the 21st century, it's maybe Iron Maiden's best album.
Peter
29:46
Yeah, I could I I wouldn't argue with anyone. I think for me it's It's between that and matter of life and death for. I lean a little towards a matter of life and death, but I don't know if it's just because every time this album art shows up on my phone or something. I I just like go uh
Eden
30:01
it's embarrassing. It's embarrassing that they have not gone back and done a new cover for this.
Peter
30:06
So where does it go, Eden? Because it's real bad.
Eden
30:08
I uh it's a
Peter
30:09
it's not an S, but it's a A. I agree. It's so bad. I agree All right, now we've got Devastating Dave, the turntable slave, and zip zap.
Eden
30:19
I have a question for you. I thought this was supposed to be about bad album covers. Cause this guy, I want to hang out with Devastating Dave, the turntable slave. I want him spinning the tables at my next disco.
Peter
30:34
There you go. Like I say, this is just this is this is a consensus of multiple places on the internet and what were listed as real bad album covers. So
Eden
30:44
I just I think I fundamentally disagree. I like this album cover. It is over the top. It is 1983, and you can tell. Uh I think this is a delightful cover.
Peter
30:54
So are you thinking D, because it's not of the code? I think in
Eden
30:57
D. I'm thinking D because I like that cover a lot. What unless you want to
Peter
31:01
tell different. Alright, here we go. Next we got Liebe Mutter Heinung. Ein Blumenstrauß der nie werwerkt.
Eden
31:14
Thank you for that. I wouldn't have known what any of that meant. Liebe Mutter, isn't that. My m mom? Uh-huh. This uh here's the thing. Glasses, great. Eyes behind. Crazy eyes.
Peter
31:28
Direct crazy eyes. And like that left eye is a little bit out to the side. It is. Um, what does hino mean? I don't know. I don't know what hino
Eden
31:37
means. Okay Uh also the hair. The hair is bad. It's one of the worst hairs.
Peter
31:43
This is a real good bad album cover. This is another A for me.
Eden
31:46
Yeah, I'd put it in the A's. That's oof. Ooh, it's anarly.
Peter
31:51
Yeah. Yeah. All right, we got the stones. This is I don't know when this came out. This has gotta be like late 80s, 90s stones, something in here. 87. I'm gonna guess dirty work is 87. Yeah, that would seem fam that would seem about right. So We we've got the Rolling Stones, the band just laying on a couch, a a green, kind of a a light green, mint green couch, and they're all wearing very neon -y colors, except for the one dude who's got the blue. And it 's just again, this is like Bad, but not that bad.
Eden
32:22
That's like a B. Also, it was March 86th. We're pretty good. We took a look at that and we were like, damn, we know what the 80s looked like. That's true. Okay. Where's the yes covers from the 80s?
Peter
32:32
So this next one is fun because it was only on a cassette. So it doesn't have like a square release. So the scan we got is like the full flat cassette. And this is Rednecks, Sex and Violins. Now this is great because it kind of looks like a coffee cup, but it's also somebody pissing into the coffee cup that's got the faces of the band.
Eden
32:54
Yeah. Um that was a choice.
Peter
32:57
I mean, and and here we go. Like the first track.
Eden
33:00
But also it's important to note Yeah, they have Side B 's first track is The Sad But True Story of Ray Mingus, the lumberjack of Bulk Rock City, and his never slacking stribe in exploiting the so far undiscovered areas of the intention to bodily intercourse from the opposite species of his kind. During intake of all the mental condition that could be derived from fermentation. What do you mean opposite species, dog? I mean, I think we know. What do you mean
Peter
33:26
opposite species dog?
Eden
33:29
Also, why do why are some of them in yellow with little triangles next to them? And then you look down T and it says Hit warning, these are the books that are or these are the songs that are gonna make it big. I mean, I don't think that's true. I kind of love so many things about this. Here's my question. The first song on here, Cotteneye Joe, is this that the Cot Night Joe? You know, that's a great question, and I don't know. I don't know. I don't know who does the song Cotteneye Joe. Did these guys do their own version of Cotton High Joe? Because if the famous song that is played at every dance to this day has a cover of five rednecks, four dudes and a lady getting pissed on in a cup
Peter
34:13
That changes everything. You know, I'm having a hard time finding what the most famous adaptations are. But it this one is not showing up at all. So I'm gonna say that it's not this one.
Eden
34:27
Because the top one that I see is Cotton Eye Joe, a novelty song by the Swedish Eurodance group Rednecks. That maybe it is. That's the version. That's the version we all listen to. They're Swedish, Peter.
Peter
34:41
Okay, I think this gotta go in S for personally.
Eden
34:44
Yeah.
Peter
34:46
It's an S right there
Eden
34:47
Oh my god. Yeah, no, I'm looking at it. It is from the album Sex and Violins. Okay. Female vocals on the album are pronounced are provided by Annika
Peter
34:57
Lungberg. There we go. There we go. All right, this next one I really didn't think like fit, but hey, it was in the list, so I grabbed it. Uh this is Ozzy Osborne's I don't even remember the title of this album.
Eden
35:10
I mean it's not a good album cover, but it's not a top 40 worst album.
Peter
35:15
I mean, this is again down in like the D range.
Eden
35:17
I don't I like I think this
Peter
35:19
less
Eden
35:20
I put it in the D. It's less it's less stupidly offensive than the metabolic.
Peter
35:24
That's what I was thinking.
Eden
35:26
All right, we've got Tino por primera vez. Again, I say, where's the bad covers? Guys, this is a twink showing his crotch to the entire world.
Peter
35:37
Yes, you are not wrong. Where do you think it goes?
Eden
35:40
I don't I don't dislike this cover. I think this cover speaks of a time and an era, and I think it's a C or a D. I think I'm going with C. I think it's a little rough. Yeah, I'll give it a C that's powerful. That's fair. Alright, we got vanilla
Peter
35:53
ice mind blower.
Eden
35:54
That's a bad one.
Peter
35:56
Bro, what are you what is your hair? Oh, I mean we got the white dude, he's got dreads, we've just got the big V with the ice over it. And it's like through some fire or something. I don't know. This is this is a bad one. This is a good bad cover. This is an This is an A. Yeah, I agree. I agree. It's a good bad cover.
Eden
36:16
Wolfa
Peter
36:17
Duffa. Alright. Now this one again. I don't even know what this is. You know, Eric Church, Mr. Misunderstood I don't know again. Who's Eric Chase? I don't know either, but I didn't really think this one finished. This is just boring. It's just
Eden
36:30
this is just boring. Yeah, I agree. If this is showing up on this list, are people putting Friona Apples when the pawn on here? Because if so, I'm gonna have a fight with whoever said that was one of the worst covers ever made.
Peter
36:41
I mean, for me, again, this is like in the D range, because it's just not that bad. Yeah, it's just not that bad.
Eden
36:45
It's not that bad
Peter
36:46
It's not that bad. Alright. Limp Biscuit called. Chocolate starfish in the hot dog flavored water.
Eden
36:53
Hot dog flavored water. This is an S. It's a combination of the the design the art, the name. And the fact that it's Limp Biscuit. And the fact that it's not the one good Limp Biscuit album, sort of.
Peter
37:08
Yep. No, this is Which is three dollar bill y'all. This is this is just bad. It's bad in every S tier. Alright, we got Neil Young. Neil and the shocking pinks. Everybody's rocking. If you hadn't, if it hadn't said this was Neil Young. I wouldn't have known that was Neil Young.
Eden
37:26
No, I would have thought it was an Elvis impersonation. Yeah. It's again, it's It's not bad, except for when you put it in the context of this is a Neil Young record, in which case I'm like B.
Peter
37:37
Yeah.
Eden
37:37
What are we doing, Neil?
Peter
37:38
I agree. What are you doing, Neil? I agree. This is, you know, I and I don't know any of the songs on it, but it looks like it was kind of Neil, you know, he he he tended to experiment a little bit, so Sometimes to his detriment. Sometimes to his detriment. Alright, we got Big Bear
Eden
37:54
doing things. 90s rap albums had the best covers in the history of music. The way that these it was a bunch of amateurs who had their hands on Photoshop for the first time, and you look at them and you're like This is terrible and incoherent and I love everything.
Peter
38:15
This is a really good battle. I mean, we've got glittery, sparkly suits. We got four bears drinking, smoking cigars. And if you'll notice the name Big Bear in the corners, it looks like it's honey that's dripping a little bit. Oh my God. I mean, this is this is good. This is some quality stuff right here.
Eden
38:33
Yeah, the glint off of the sunglasses on that bear on the right. Oh yeah. Sugate is here. This is at least I'm thinking A
Peter
38:43
as well. All right, we've got Corey Feldman, Angelic 2, number the core. This one's bad in a this was I mean this is one of the worst things I've ever seen in my life. I know. It's so good. This I love it.
Eden
38:57
This is like what if you what if Cory Feldman saw that Dance of Death by Iron Maiden cover and was like I want to make it worse, hornier, and uglier. I mean he did it.
Peter
39:05
We've got Corey Feldman getting pulled out of like a hole in the ground by two portal to hell porn angels, you know, and Like it's just it's bad. And I can't quite tell. It almost looks like he's got black leather pants on it as well.
Eden
39:21
Oh, he absolutely has pleather pants. I mean, I think this is an ester
Peter
39:25
Yeah, it's it's
Eden
39:27
an S tier, no question. Oh my god. We got another good one coming up here.
Peter
39:30
Kevin Rowland.
Eden
39:31
What the hell? What the hell is this? I'm not gonna lie, when it was small, I was like, wow, that lady is showing a fair amount of her decolletage. I'm curious to see what happens when this gets big. It's not a lady It's not a lady. It's Kevin Rowland with both of his nips out. Yep. Who's Kevin Rowland? Why did he make this cover? It's an S.
Peter
39:55
I don't know, but it's great. It is. It is a real winner slash loser.
Eden
40:00
Yeah, that's a real that's a that's
Peter
40:03
compelling.
Eden
40:04
Oh
Peter
40:04
my god, this is better than Big Bear! Will flip the leprechaun looking like a Lucky Charms cereal box here. And we've just got bling.
Eden
40:16
The artist that brought you diamonds in your
Peter
40:18
face. We've just got bling everywhere. It's great. Like this is so great.
Eden
40:24
Succa Succa Free Records S tier 20 tracks. I bet that's not good, but I bet if you put it on, it's fun to listen to.
Peter
40:35
I bet The next one is one where it's more it's not a great album, but it's not that bad. We've got Stomp 442 by Anthrax, one of their kind of mediocre albums. It's one of the two, this and Volume Eight The Threat Is Real are the two ones with John Bush who are that are just Not super great. So these came out after How did this make the list? Again, I I don't know. It's just again
Eden
40:57
, it looks like It looks like every late period Pink Floyd album cover. It's fine.
Peter
41:02
It's like again, this for me is a C or a D. I'd say I think it's a D.
Eden
41:06
I think there's nothing inoffensive about that. If there was a a category called what is this doing here, I would put it in the what is this doing here.
Peter
41:12
Category. Yep. All right. We've got Orleans Walking and Dreaming.
Eden
41:17
I don't know who these guys are, but I want to go find out.
Peter
41:21
This is fantastic album cover. They're all shirtless. These look like guys I want to hang out with. They're shirtless. We've got some serious beards and stashes going on, and they're all just, you know, all buddying up with each other.
Eden
41:33
Look at those chairy chests. Man, this is like a B or an A.
Peter
41:37
I love this. I think it's an A. I think it goes in A.
Eden
41:40
I think it's great.
Peter
41:41
All right, now we got Fleetwood Mac Mystery to Me. This is like What in the hell was the Fleetwood Mac thinking with this money? I've never seen this. It kind of looks like Uh i the when I first looked at it, I thought to myself, it's like they're kind of trying to ape, and I guess I didn't mean that pun intentionally. uh like a salvador dolly type thing with with an orangutan eating cake and a bite out of a book on a beach. But also that orangutan looks vaguely like Mick Fleetwood? Yeah Yeah.
Eden
42:14
What is going on? I don't know.
Peter
42:15
This is A tier.
Eden
42:17
I think so.
Peter
42:17
It's and again, it's one of these where I won't lie, but the fact of the notoriety of the band behind it adds strength to just how bad it is.
Eden
42:28
Well, I mean, think about other Fleetwood Mac covers you know off the top of your head. They're iconic. Everyone knows the cover to rumors Because it's those it's Stevie Nicks and Mick Fleetwood standing there and there's a chair and you're like, oh my god, they hate each other. This is the era where they're fighting all the time. That's why the music's so good And then you see that and you're like, what even is this? Who made why d what songs are on this? Is there a single song I know on this album? And the answer is probably no.
Peter
42:55
So all right, moving on. This one's a small one, but we got Van Morrison Hard Nose the Highway.
Eden
43:02
I mean this just looks like a weird seventies
Peter
43:04
cover. It's like a bee. I think it's it ain't nothing. Not even yeah. It's like a beer. I was kind of thinking C.
Eden
43:09
Yeah.
Peter
43:10
All right. I've seen much work. Here's a good one. We got Millie Jackson back to the shit, and she's sitting on a toilet looking like she's super constipated.
Eden
43:19
Now I gotta respect The audacity to put yourself on the shitter and panty's gunner. Panties down around the ankles Uh this is at least an A tier to me. I mean it's A or S. One shoe on, one shoe off. Maybe S. Maybe S it up.
Peter
43:35
It's really for me, it's the pain look on her face that really bumps it up. She's she's really
Eden
43:40
looks like she's not having a good time and that bad.
Peter
43:41
She's just selling it. David Hasselhoff, night rocker. Standing on the cover of a vaguely kit thing, but we just make sure we can't see the red thing so nobody can get sued for copyright infringement.
Eden
43:57
Here's the thing. If this was anyone else, it'd be like a C or a D, but because it is David Hasselhoff standing on top of the kit 2000, it is a B tier.
Peter
44:04
I agree. I agree. I think it's a B tier.
Eden
44:07
The next one his popularity with the Germans baffles me to this day.
Peter
44:12
Oh, absolutely. Makes no sense. Makes zero sense, but Now the next one's another one that I'm not quite sure why it's on here other than it just feels like a super lazy cover. And that is no doubt. I don't even remember which album this is, but We've got a little
Eden
44:27
uh later period no doubt. Uh post-sca period, no doubt. Looks boring.
Peter
44:31
Yeah, like I said, that gets it like a seat. It just kind of is it's just kind of lazy. That's all. Yeah. Push and shove is the name of the album Never heard. It just feels a little lazy. We said C? I think so. That's what I was thinking. We got a classic Pantera Metal Magic. Pantera before while they were still in their hair metal stage, widely, widely criticized in the metal community, and for good cause. It is a truly terrible album cover. I mean Why do we have a catman face and he's holding probably the world's most impractical bladed weapon of some sort? Looks like backwards
Eden
45:11
holding it with the blade towards himself. Uh also imagine trying to make a fist with those claws. Well, that'd be rough. You'd be piercing yourself in the case. Imagine trying to hold that thing with your claws. You're gonna scrape up your little your little wristy so bad, little Pantera.
Peter
45:24
And the thing I love about it is that the dude who painted this, the artist behind this was proud enough. His signature's right there on the cover. I mean this is at least an A for me. Oh yeah. No, this a that's a killer. Very nice. Alright. Oh, we're getting some good ones here. Signor Coconut is su conjunto el paile alemán. Here's the thing.
Eden
45:46
If it weren't for the sleeves, this would be like a B or a C.
Peter
45:50
Oh, but the sleeves are so good. The sleeves are so good
Eden
45:53
The sleeves take it to a s an S for me. It's so bad. The hair on that is like the Rimba plate.
Peter
45:59
The heads on each of the bodies look like they've been poorly photoshopped and just like stuck on. There's weird inconsistencies. It all looks weird. I mean, we've got, you know, some bongos, a marimba, a saxophone, and a double bass. I'm loving it. And also Senor Coconut is there in the background and it's like sure why not? For me, this is another I'm here for it. This is another at least A, I think. I think it's an S. Alright, I'm okay with it being in the S. But you know what also is gonna go in the S the next two? Because I know both of them and they're both very bad. Creed, human clay, their second album. And again, this is like curse of the earlier Blender stock assets. What the fuck were they thinking here?
Eden
46:41
What were they thinking? Now, my own prison. It's not a good cover, but it's an evocative cover. It's a dude hunched over, covering his head, and you're like, yeah, your psychology is your own prison, dog, just like the songs say. And then they put out, A, this is the one-two punch of what is our lead single off this album?
Peter
47:09
The worst Creed song ever. Which is funny though because this album also has some of their best songs.
Eden
47:14
It does. That's the problem. You and I were both Creed fans. After my own prison, we were like Yo, these guys are cool. This is a good debut. Human Clay comes out. I look at this cover at the Grey Whale CD and I think to myself, what? Is going on. And then I put it in and can you take me higher starts and I'm like, is this band dead to me? And no The two-thirds of this album is some of their very best work. It's their next album where it's like, oh, they've really l Okay, they had an album and a half of good music and they put it out in their first album and part of their second album and they've never done a good song since
Peter
47:50
That's why I was so glad the Altar Bridge formed because we got the musicians of Creed and a better vocalist. So and I think a better
Eden
47:58
though. It is.
Peter
48:02
Why is he look like? I don't know. And is it like, is he see-through or is he reflective? Or what is it? I can't tell, down around the stomach area. Truly. Yeah, it's it's great. It's great. All right, we've got the faith tones, Jesus Use Me. Just the combination
Eden
48:20
of the hairs. the faces and the name of the album guys.
Peter
48:29
This is Alztimer right here.
Eden
48:31
This is one of the most incredible pieces of bad album mu cover in the history of music.
Peter
48:37
I agree. It's a good one.
Eden
48:38
It's S tier for sure. It would be above S tier if there was something above S tier.
Peter
48:42
I mean I can make one.
Eden
48:43
I can make one.
Peter
48:44
No, don't worry about it. You can do an R tier like in the uh in Forza Horizon. If you upgrade your S-tier car to high enough, then it becomes R tier. Oh, unit. Okay. So. All right. We got Swamp Dog rat on. And it's just a dude riding a rat. That cover rules.
Eden
49:03
What are they talking about? I want to listen to that right now. Swamp Dog, who are you?
Peter
49:08
I don't know, baby. Are you Snoop Doggs dad? That's pretty great. Are you Snoop Dogg's dad? I don't know if it hangs in the S, but I think for me it's at least an A.
Eden
49:16
Yeah, it's not an S. Uh, I I genuinely want to go listen to this though. Uh
Peter
49:22
yeah, what a good cover. Okay, we've got the monkeys. Peter, Mickey, and Davy sitting in a pool with, you know. The life vest lifesabers around them.
Eden
49:38
Uh this is an A-tier. It's a pretty good one. They're too old. They're too old to be doing that monkey building. This is an 80s tier monkey
Peter
49:45
80s era monkeys. They're too old. Yep. I agree. It's another good one. Here's one that's one of those doesn't seem to really hang Uh I don't know if this is Irish. Do you think it's
Eden
49:57
Irish Eog Hen Quig is? That's not how you say it. I know, listeners I know Yoghan is not how you say that, but that's how it's spelled. It looks to me, if I had to guess, I would It's probably pronounced Yowen.
Peter
50:08
Yeah. This one I think is like D. I mean it's just
Eden
50:11
Yeah, it's there's nothing there. It's bad, but it's not interesting bad. It's not
Peter
50:16
Rat on. Yep. Alright, break water. We got the whole band in some yellow boots and some silver s Base looking suits in I can't tell. Is it a sauna? Is it the bottom of a pool? What is it? What is it?
Eden
50:32
Now if if it was just the silver suits, B tier. Yeah, but no. But the silver suits Plus the yellow boots. Big old yellow boots. That's at least an eight, man.
Peter
50:41
I think it's great. I love it. It's going A tier. All right. Again, this is another one of those where it's the band in combination with the bad album art that makes you go, okay, this is real bad. Crosby Stills and Nash, one of those Just like classic, you know, s bands from 50 plus years ago. And their album Live It Up. And we've got the moon with Earthrise in the background. But in front of that We got some sticks with hot dogs on it and dudes climbing the sticks.
Eden
51:12
Did Young take all the good album covers with him when he left?
Peter
51:16
I don't know, because this one's Bad. But like in a stick. That's the other thing too.
Eden
51:22
In an incoherent way. Why are they barbecue why are uh tiny men and or very very large hot dogs being barbecued on the moon. I don't understand. I don't know either. This is like, yeah, this is incoherent. This is so weird. That there's no world where a generative LLM could give you a picture this incoherent. So that is how you know that it's good. Because generative AI could never make something this buck wild. It would not think of it.
Peter
51:51
The tokens would never come together in that. That's true. So what are you thinking? A or S. I think it's an S tier. And again, it's one of those where in part it's the strength of the band.
Eden
52:01
Yeah.
Peter
52:02
All right. We got some more, you know, straight up rep. We got Silk the Shocker. Charge it to the game. And he's holding out the Ghetto Express card with his pitcher on the front Uh this is great. I want to go listen.
Eden
52:17
Man, 90s rap was so good. Uh it's at least a B tier.
Peter
52:22
Yeah. Yeah. It's it's it's
Eden
52:24
I don't know that it's hanging with the A's or the S's, but it's a big bear.
Peter
52:27
I was gonna say it doesn't quite match Big Bear. We got Big Bear up in the age. Big Bear. That's true.
Eden
52:32
And it's not, it's definitely not Lil's flip, so
Peter
52:35
all right And we got some man of war anthology.
Eden
52:39
What are we doing here, guys? Why did
Peter
52:40
why did you cone in it up? I mean, this is just man of war's shtick. They've always Is it? Oh yes. Man of War has always been the like oily, muscly s you know uh erotic
Eden
52:53
metal
Peter
52:54
uh s sort of fantasy, but with loincloths instead of armor. So
Eden
52:59
I was gonna say it looks like sword and sorcery homoeroticism, which is funny because I cannot imagine At least for my outside perception. I'm not a sword and sorcery person. I like the Conan movies. But from an outside perspective, that seems like one of the most homophobic possible things in the world to be into. I can't imagine there's a whole lot of queerness in Sword and Sandals. And if it is, it is like subversion of the genre. Yeah. Robert Howard was not a dude who wrote a gay person in a book in a complimentary way. So for them to look this gay on the cover of their sword and sandals-esque man-a-war stuff.
Peter
53:39
That's like at least a B tier. I think it's pretty good.
Eden
53:41
Maybe an A t.
Peter
53:42
I think it's A tier. I think it's A tier. Alright. We've got Sparks. Oh, I love it. Pulling rabbits out of a hat. And it's
Eden
53:54
I mean that is an S tier cover right now. That is so much. It is. What is the the the puppet? What's the is that is that man also in the band? I don't know.
Peter
54:04
I don't know. But it's great.
Eden
54:07
Who's sparks? What are they doing? Getting in the S tier because that's a fantastic album cover. That looks like the main guy looks like he looked at Freddie Mercury and he was like, What if I did that? But worse. Kind of like, what if I did that
Peter
54:21
succeeded? But also Nazi.
Eden
54:23
Yeah, that's it. What if I had a death stare of a Nazi and also dressed like Freddie Mercury?
Peter
54:29
All right, we got another good one coming up here. We got Ken Bro Request Only. I want to hang out with Ken. Look at that hair. Look at those burns. Look at that suit. These are chops. And we got, I mean, the collars on the suit. I mean, this is a classic. This is a classic. I want to hang out with Ken. I mean, this is at least another A for me, if not S. You put it where you want it because I want to hang out with Ken. It's like an S tier to me. I think it's an S. We got some more rap. We got Master P MP De Last Dawn.
Eden
54:59
This is not on the level with the. This is a totally inoffensive 90s cover. I've seen 10,000 of this. Uh it's like a max of the city.
Peter
55:11
I was thinking C. I'm thinking C. We got another one that just feels lazy. And again, it's the it's the band. And everything. We've got black Sabbaths born again with just the dumbest, laziest demon baby kind of in a weird all red and black on the blue. I mean, it's just it's just lazy. This
Eden
55:31
is nothing for me. This doesn't make me want to listen to this. Master P made me want to listen to the album, at least, guys. Ken made me want to listen to the album. What are you doing, Black Sabbath?
Peter
55:40
Yeah, not great. Not great. What are we thinking?
Eden
55:44
I don't know.
Peter
55:44
Put it where you want it. I mean, I think it's I'm going C. It's not good. It's not the best. We got another. Here's a good one for you. Roger Daltrey, ride a rock horse. We have Roger Dahltry of the Who Fame turned into a centaur leaning back at an in an a very uncomfortable angle.
Eden
56:02
And with a very large cloud where depending on your understanding and beliefs about centaur uh biology, a uh dick might be.
Peter
56:14
It's true. It's true. So I think this is a pretty great one. This is a lot. This is a lot. I like this at least an A tier. It's definitely, that's what I was thinking. A tier. It's a good one. It's a good one.
Eden
56:25
That's a lot.
Peter
56:27
All right. We've got Pooh Man, MC Pooh, funky as I Wanna Be. And it's just Pooh Man's head in between a woman's legs.
Eden
56:36
There's nothing here. This is like a C tier. I agree. This is not interesting.
Peter
56:40
Also, Pooh Man, bro. Pooh Man. Lazy. All right, we got Attila. We got some more. It's like what if man of war, but instead of being shirtless, we're we we've got slaughtered animal parts around us.
Eden
56:55
I was gonna say surrounded by beef.
Peter
56:57
That's kind of what it looks like. This is bad. It's bad in a like you you see the the animal carcass parts and the dead stares they're giving you and you're like, I'm a little afraid. I'm a little afraid.
Eden
57:08
Yeah, I think these guys are gonna kill me with a sword. I think so. They're gonna put some meat hooks through me like this is Texas Chance Homass.
Peter
57:15
Yeah, I'm thinking this at least an A for me.
Eden
57:17
I think it's an A. I think it's an A You know what keeps it from being an S? The logo's pretty good.
Peter
57:22
That's true. It's true.
Eden
57:23
The A's and the Attila
Peter
57:25
were pretty good. Okay, we've got boned up at the crack and it's uh That's so bad. It's it's a guitar neck and and you know Sticking out of a dude's crotch.
Eden
57:35
Imagine if imagine if his dick was that big, man.
Peter
57:39
He'd do some serious damage.
Eden
57:41
That's like two and a half feet long sticking out of his dick. J his drawers
Peter
57:45
there.
Eden
57:48
That's a bad cover.
Peter
57:50
At least an A. I mean, I think it might be an S for me. Uh yeah, put it in the S's. That's real bad. Okay, we got Young MC ain't going out like that. Again, just boring.
Eden
57:59
There's nothing there.
Peter
58:01
It's not that bad. I think this is a D.
Eden
58:04
Yeah.
Peter
58:05
Okay, here comes our last one. Our last one. Bad finger. This is the band. The album title Ass And we got a great big hand holding a carrot in the sky, and we got a donkey with headphones with its butt facing us. I don't know. It's great. I love this one. This again, it's kind of almost a real good way to end. We want to end on some sort of surrealistic painting, you know. Yeah. It's it's this I haven't I don't know anything about this other than uh this is a pretty good album cover
Eden
58:36
Yeah, uh that's at least an it's probably an S
Peter
58:39
I think we're ending on an S. I think we're ending on an S. So There it is. That was our album cover uh a little a little ranking list that again was mostly a we talked about music and I thought it would be funny just to look at some real bad album covers. So there we are. Yeah. That was some real some real stinking. You know, and again, I thought it was interesting because there were some on there. I'm like, why is this on here? But there are others where you're like, oh, I'm glad that was on there.
Eden
59:10
Yeah. I've never heard of this band Badfinger.
Peter
59:13
I haven't either. They don't look good. Well, we'll uh wrap it up now, but we'll be back in another couple of weeks. And uh We'll uh we'll do something different. Something that probably hopefully we're both feeling a little more motivated for whatever we choose to do. Hopefully.
Eden
59:30
This was fun though. This was very fun.
Peter
59:32
All right. We'll be back in a couple weeks. Bye, everybody Bye.
