The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Electric Ladyland (1968) Capitol retrieved over 50,000 copies of the original cover from uneasy retailers. Intended as pop art satire, the artwork was quickly rehoused in an inoffensive replacement sleeve and topped the Billboard charts. uDiscover Music investigates the most controversial album covers of all time.Ī far cry from the Mamas and the Papas “indecent” album cover for If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears, which seemed to generate controversy because a bathroom had a toilet in it, this Beatles compilation album featured a bizarre sleeve shot of the Fab Four clad in butcher’s coats, draped in slabs of meat and dismembered doll parts. However, while all manner of excess-fuelled misadventures feed the media machine in the short term, a provocatively-designed record sleeve can make the most lasting impact when it comes to riling the moral majority – and lasting notoriety is especially assured if the album cover gets banned.

If I was Fearless Records and I'd have a hard think about where to take this compilation series next. I can see they're fun to listen to and for the most part the songs are laughable but for the wrong reasons. It is true the songs are covered in a unique way but they're terrible and for the most part, they are unlistenable. They are a like a rubbish piece of clothing you get from your mum as a Christmas present, you wear it a few times to please them but after awhile you forget about it and then ignore it.

The problem with these highlights are that they are only JUST worth listening to. The other listenable tracks that are worth mentioning are Bayside's cover of 'Beautiful Girls' and Mayday Parade's 'When I Grow Up', originally by the Pussycat Dolls. However this particular track is spoilt with awful screaming. The same goes for Chiodos' cover of Harvey Danger's 'Flagpole Sitta'. The highlights of this compilation are few and far between A Day To Remember take on The Fray's 'Over My Head (Cable Car)' in their usual way, whilst Four Year Strong's 'Love Song' hit the nail on the head and just manage to make the song their own. While Breathe Carolina show how punk they are with their dance beats and auto-tuned vocals with a cover of Miley Cyrus' 'See You Again' and the same goes for Attack Attack!'s cover of 'I Kissed A Girl' (Katy Perry). Unfortunately its not interesting at all.Īugust Burns Red and Alesana scream and growl there way through their covers of Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake respectively.

Sounds like it could be pretty interesting and has potential. Take 14 of the most popular and up and coming bands in the alternative scene at the moment and get them to cover 14 of the most popular pop songs from the decade or so. However most of the time, they are just aren't very good, plain and simple and the latest 'Punk Goes.' compilation is no different. They occasionally have some great songs performed in a unique way.
