Manic Street Preachers - Journal For Plague Lovers album art work

Great albums – Great Artwork out 18/05/09

A couple of big albums out today and they actually have pretty good artwork for a change! The Eminem album features a picture of the rapper made up of pills – the album itself sounds like a load of old twat and so doesn’t make it to the list. The Manic Street Preachers on the other hand have produced an excellent album with artwork done by Holy Bible artist Jenny Saville. It’s caused a load of controversy in the UK because supermarkets are covering it up under the pretence that the tortured face of a child with the pox some how looks more like the kid has been beaten and that he’s covered in blood. I suspect they just don’t want to put shoppers off their microwave meals.
