Why are either bad? I don't like either album but I think the covers are both better than the majority of Metallica's album covers.

I actually agree with this. Both covers are cool, but knowing how they are made ruins them for me.

Because they are both gross; and I do not associate Metallica with being a gross band. It rubs me the wrong way basically. It reinforces the idea that the band were goofing around at this stage.

It's also possible I'm projecting my dislike of this album's musical qualities onto the cover.

Sounds like a good way to end up with the combo in that photo.

Well, the album is pretty horrible so it's hard to blame you.
