date of their new album \u2018Foreign Tongues\u2019 and confirmed that it will feature guest appearances from the likes of Paul McCartney and The Cure\u2019s Robert Smith. \u00a0The rock veterans\u2019 25th studio album &#8211;\u00a0the follow up to 2023\u2019s \u2018Hackney Diamonds\u2019 &#8211; has been teased by the energetic single \u2018Rough and Twisted\u2019 and rather catchy \u2018In The Stars\u2019.\u00a0It comes out on 10 July&#8230; and we need to talk about the album artwork. \u00a0It\u2019s a cartoonish Photo-fit \/ slide puzzle collage of the faces of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood, and it\u2019s&#8230; Well, it\u2019s a choice. \u00a0Check it out for yourselves: \u00a0Album artwork can be tricky and while the outer packaging is by no means any reflection on the quality of the content, presentation does count.\u00a0Picture the scene.\u00a0You\u2019ve spent months working on your album. You\u2019re happy with the lyrics, proud of the production, and excited about what you\u2019re going to send onto the airwaves.\u00a0Then comes what can be a make-or-break moment when it comes to selling your work: the record sleeve design which will be the public\u2019s first brush with the fruit of your accomplishments. \u00a0Now imagine tripping at that last crucial hurdle and inadvertently sabotaging your hard work.Granted, not every album cover can reach iconic status, and The Rolling Stones have aced it in the past, with the likes of \u2018Sticky Fingers\u2019, \u2018Exile on Main St.\u2019 and \u2018A Bigger Bang\u2019. It\u2019s a shame that their latest effort looks the way it does \u2013 with no pre-judgement as to the upcoming 14 songs we\u2019re about to get in July. The first two singles are promising.Still, as retina punishing as the artwork is, it\u2019s by no means the worst design choice when it comes to album aesthetics. \u00a0Here are Euronews Culture\u2019s picks for the worst album covers of all time \u2013 30 images which range from &#8216;What were you thinking?&#8217; to &#8216;I&#8217;m going to need therapy&#8217;. They\u2019re listed chronologically and are inexcusable. \u00a0Again, fair warning: Eyesores ahead.Paddy Roberts \u2013 Songs For Gay Dogs (1963)It must have seemed like a good idea at the time.The Faith Tones &#8211; Jesus Use Me (1964)Bouffants and Jesus&#8230; A match made in heaven? This album made it onto our list of the 20 Most Controversial Album Covers Of All Time, purely because the one on the right is an uncanny dead ringer for a young Stephen Fry in drag. It makes this list because&#8230; Well, it gets more\u00a0upsetting the longer you stare at it.Pat Cooper &#8211; Spaghetti Sauce &amp; Other Delights (1966)Are there any other delights other than Italian food?Swamp Dogg &#8211; Rat On! (1971)Swamp Dogg does seem happy to ride a giant rodent. The latter also seems rather pleased with the whole endeavour. Who are we to judge?Heino &#8211; Liebe Mutter&#8230; Ein Blumenstrau\u00df, der nie verwelkt (1972)The German artist has sold over 50 million records, proving that cover art isn\u2019t everything. However, is there any excuse for\u00a0\u2018Liebe Mutter&#8230; Ein Blumenstrau\u00df, der nie verwelkt\u2019 (literally: \u2018Dear Mother&#8230; A bouquet of flowers that never fades\u2019), a cover that feels like you\u2019re being stalked by a very creepy man with a piercing stare and wearing a turtleneck? Shudder.Robert Wotherspoon &#8211; Music to Massage Your Mate By (1976)In case you were wondering what kind of music hides behind this harrowing\u00a0album cover, it\u2019s easy listening jazz. Massage, anyone?Pam Ayres &#8211; Will Anybody Marry Me? (1977)Oh, Pam. You seem to be on the brink of either\u00a0tears or mania, but we really hope you\u2019ve found your match.Scorpions &#8211; Lovedrive (1979)A rare miss from legendary artist Storm Thorgerson, who was responsible for some of Pink Floyd\u2019s greatest albums sleeves.Barbara Markay &#8211; Give Your Dick to Me (1980)Steady on, Barb.Ringo Starr \u2013 Stop And Smell The Roses (1981)Ringo, you are loved. However, this cover is just as unsettling as Heino\u2019s effort.Millie Jackson &#8211; Back To The S**t! (1989)Why one would imply a bowel movement on a record sleeve is beyond reason&#8230; Surely there were better options??Crosby, Stills &amp; Nash \u2013 Live It Up (1990)Wieners on broken sticks&#8230; On the Moon. Sure. Quick question: Without oxygen, how do those sausages grill? Food for thought.Pooh-Man (Mc Pooh) &#8211; Funky As I Wanna Be (1992)This is what you\u2019d charitably call \u2018ill advised\u2019.The Handsome Beasts &#8211; Beastiality (1996)File this one under: \u2018Kill it, kill it with fire\u2019.Crash Test Dummies \u2013 Give Yourself A Hand (1999)We\u2019ll pass, thanks.Limp Bizkit &#8211; Presents Chocolate St\u2605rfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water (2000)Five goblins bobbing around in a gross sea of sausages, made worse by the fact that \u201cchocolate starfish\u201d is a slang term for one\u2019s derriere. It accurately encompasses the band and its nu-metal sound, though. Every cloud&#8230;William Hung &#8211; Hung For The Holidays (2004)Aside from the obvious word pun, there\u2019s something deeply haunting about Mr. Hung\u2019s Yuletide-fuelled expression of joy.Boned &#8211; Up At The Crack (2004)When the tracklist includes song titles like \u2018Drain The Main Vein\u2019, \u2018Ain\u2019t No Talkin\u2019 With Your Mouth Full\u2019, \u2018Loaded On Love\u2019 and \u2018Tails Up Heads Down\u2019, a cover like this shouldn\u2019t come as too much of a surprise. Still, does anyone think these chaps could be overcompensating?Soulja Boy &#8211; Souljaboytellem.com (2007)The death of street cred in one image.Lady Gaga &#8211; Born This Way (2011)A controversial pick, maybe &#8211; but again, this isn\u2019t about the quality of the music. On a purely aesthetic level, this body horror \/ human-machine biology business just doesn\u2019t work.Justin Bieber \u2013 Believe (2012)A cheap shot, maybe, but quite aside from what you think of Bieber&#8217;s squawking, the police tape at the forefront does this offensively dull album cover no favours.Maroon 5 \u2013 Overexposed (2012)To be fair, the title and the cover match. Still, everything&#8230; Everything happening here&#8230; What is going on with everything happening here??Eric Clapton &#8211; Old Sock (2013)A holiday selfie taken with a low-res camera, matched by a terrible wood-plank font. And while we\u2019re at it, why on Attenborough\u2019s Blue Planet would you put your face on an album titled \u2018Old Sock\u2019?Yeah Yeah Yeahs \u2013 Mosquito (2013)A huge purple mosquito somehow holding a jar of green goo, threatening a screaming baby&#8230; Quite what went through South Korean artist Beomsik Shimbe Shim\u2019s mind when he came up with this, we\u2019ll never know. The album\u2019s underrated though.Corey Feldman \u2013 Angelic 2 The Core (2016)The former actor selected this cheap clip art for his 2016 album cover, seemingly trying to convey that he was emerging from his personal hell and finding the route towards the light. We&#8217;d need a reverend to explain why the angels pulling him up from the bowels of hell\u00a0are in lingerie. Do get in touch.Kevo Muney \u2013 Baby G.O.A.T. (2019)A screaming goat giving birth to a rapper (born as a whole adult for some reason) as a goat obstetrician looks on&#8230; Don&#8217;t stare too hard or too long at the birthing goat\u2019s face. A cursed image if ever there was one.Green Day \u2013 Father Of All Motherfuckers (2020)It\u2019s a spin \/ &#8216;close-up&#8217; on their &#8216;American Idiot&#8217; cover, and an ugly one at that. It\u2019s also comfortably the band\u2019s worst album. So sometimes, what you see is what you get. As for the vomiting unicorn \u2013 how old are you??David Bowie \u2013 Toy (2021)This posthumously released collection of re-recordings from between 1964 and 1971 deserved so much better than Bowie\u2019s face poorly superimposed onto what seems to be a child\u2019s body. Definitely one which demands to be reduced to ashes (to ashes).Dry Cleaning \u2013 Stumpwork (2022)A great band. A terrific album. A gag-worthy cover.Morrissey \u2013 Make-Up Is A Lie (2026)The ex-Smiths frontman looks like he\u2019s enjoying his colonoscopy&#8230;Thirty examples which hopefully put The Rolling Stones\u2019 new album cover into perspective&#8230; &#8216;Foreign Tongues&#8217; comes out on 10 July.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/culture\/2026\/05\/06\/the-rolling-stones-foreign-tongues-the-30-worst-album-covers-of-all-time&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/74\/88\/29\/1200x675_cmsv2_5ac7d393-5d20-5a96-9260-82f40cb7ab87-9748829.jpg&#8221;] USA Outspoken CNN founder Ted Turner dies at age 87 Earth News Timmy the humpback whale presumed to have died Mobility Europe&#8217;s first commercial robotaxi service rolls out in Croatia Tech News Everything to know about Elon Musk\u2019s new chip factory for SpaceX USA Outspoken CNN founder Ted Turner dies at age [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-1921059","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1921059","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1921059"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1921059\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1921059"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1921059"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1921059"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
