The Pain Teens one is pretty interesting with the nun and red border, but I already like the Death Grips one quite a bit.

I appreciate them both, but the border/center of the Pain Teens cover seems really iconic to me.

Yeah, so I went with a kind of bondage theme. Cool cool cool.

Going to have to go with Pain Teens on this one, I never cared much for The Money Store's cover art.

one of the things that initially turned me off of Death Grips was the cover of this album.....i just find it over the top trashy and a feeble attempt to be shocking....whereas the Pain Teens cover is simple and yet alluring at the same time.....and although i'm not sure if the girl on the cover is supposed to be a portrait of Sylvia Likens.....it fits well with that atrocity and they do a song on the album called The Basement which chronicles those events

I appreciate a bit of both, but I like the red border and more iconic feel of the Pain Teens cover, and the suggestive sexual artwork rather than obvious. One is a situation I would want to be in, the other is not. Kinky versus dirty.

Pain Teens - The cover connects with the music of that album very well.

Death Grips should have just featured the right hand part of the cover on the front while putting the left side on the back. It's kind of like a sloppy Indie comic that should have been better executed.

Thanks for that link bob: now I have something new to have nightmares about!

I'm now too upset to vote. I'll wait for the next one. Pity they didn't have the death penalty in that state!
