Misleading CD Covers!

[Puguni]

Has anyone looked at a CD from the cover and avoided it based off of it? Has anyone listened to the music that has a CD cover that you would normally avoid? Has anyone liked the music that has a misleading CD cover?

Any other comments about this topic is yay.

Mm....I've done the second thing. I bought a CD by the Gorillaz because the anime-like cover art looked cool......not so good.
Oh and obviously I have avoided secular bands with...females on the cover. *twitch*

You don't like females?

You don't like females?

Oh I didn't mean that. I'm just talking about bands that display women on their covers in a sexual way. Not many, but I just mean that I avoid those bands for obvious reasons. <.<;

i dont really get missleaded when looking for cds cause I know most of the bands out there (read AP Magazine kiddys!).

Heh, Eisleys cover had the entire band...

Oh ok, gotcha. That makes sense.

The cover of Seal's second eponymous album has a picture of him nude (albeit strategically covering himself up with his legs). However, the songs themselves are not exactly sexual.

I have avoided a lot of CDs because of a certain label on them. If a CD looks really evil then I probably will be much more wary of the cd because of it. If there is something sexual on the cd then I probably wont buy it or borrow it or whatever.

I avoid buying "stamped" CDs that are blue-green (or similar) on the bottom. Mostly because they're likely to actually be CDRs. Does that count?

The Red Hot Chili Peppers "By the Way" album cover is rather . . . . . . risque, but that's my favorite RHCP album ever.

[Knives]

Yah, one of the chili peppers cd covers has some near frontal nudity.

I think your thinking of "Mother's Milk" which is a pretty raunchy album in and of itself. "By the Way" actually does have a picture of a nude girl on the front, but it's very wierdly drawn and you only see breast nudity.

I usually buy looking for albums by people I know, though I remember way back before they were popular I saw a Metallica album cover with a demon on the record (like I said it was before they were popular) and thought it was a satanic band. Was a few years later my friend told me they weren't (this was back when Master of Puppets came out when I started listening to them)

Oh, oops.

I have the reverse experience typicaly. I can buy a cd because it has an intresting cover, and be plesantly surprised by the music... But there have defantly been let downs. I generaly buy based on wanting it before hand/having it recomended to me, but not all the time.

There are large black Parental Warnings on the more "risque" CD's guys. As far as lyrical content goes anyway.

[Puguni]

I've seen CD covers that are plenty weird to me without the parental seal; if there was one, I'd just avoid it altogether.
