WHAT IS GOING ON WITH BRACKET?
Category: Ex-Fat Wreck Band with the most ugly record covers is: BRACKET. Yeah, this is not an easy one, but the trophy goes to this group of grown up men from California, USA. They have never been famous for good cover designs, with the exception of their two albums BEFORE they signed with Fat Wreck, namely “Forestville” and “4-Wheel-Vibe” (CLASSIC albums if you ask me…), the Fat era album covers were so-so, but what happened since their “comeback” in 2014 is just one eyesore after the other. Just when you thought it could not get worse, after last years “Best of Würst” LP/CD which looked more like some demo CD cover of a mid 90ties ska-punk school band, here is the new one…
Right huh? A graveyard, a tree and green apples, a bunch of brushes… err… LIKE YOU KNOW… not pretty. The label SBÄM is marketing this as a “Lost Album”, the recordings are from 1996, but in fact it has been a CD only, and later a Cassette releases with …. a great looking cover! Who would have known??? I guess I will buy the album and make me a xeroxed sleeve from the original artwork…
