      It's so wrong that you can't help but to be amazed over how absurd and insensitive it is, that it becomes a great album cover just for the audacity of it all.

    I actually made a Viper album cover when I was in high school... So maybe about 7 or 8 years ago now. Obviously, I put very little effort into it and just sent it to him. We texted for a while and he kept requesting minor edits. Eventually he sent me a bunch of raw footage and said he wanted me to make a music video and that he would pay me in "stock" for his real estate venture he would be launching. It made me chuckle when the tweet said he should "hire" someone with photoshop because he literally does not hire people.

    Hey, is there anyway you could review Springsteen's new album Letter to You? I've been anxiously awaiting your review since release. Thanks for all you do.

    It looks like Idubbbz was photoshopped in place of Freddie Mercury on The Miracle’s cover

    All this time I was intentionally making terrible and offensive album covers back in the early 2000s and everyone hated them, now they are an artform. Im such a pioneer.

    If you make another of these, ask your editor to actually make the complete album covers large and visible. Seriously, the background only shows 1/3 of it (the goat part of the first cover is cropped off for some reason) and the twitter screenshot is way too small

    They're still producing "Now That's What I Call Music?" Seems to me the market would have dried up by now. I can't really see that target demographic buying physical releases, or the labels making money from playlists of the brand with all the featured competition from Spotify etc.
