The Greatest Hits/Classic Queen discs are simple yet elegant...but, yeah, this is simple and NOT elegant :)
Most of the bad album covers are from a pre-Photoshop era, so today there's not much excuse. I guess it sorta has the same font as on Hot Space, which would at least give it some kind of artistic direction...but, not really....

Sorry, until I see this in shops, it doesn't exist. *No one* would release something that shithouse.
I'm glad to see The Miracle on that website of bad LP covers. It seems everyone here likes it but I've always thought it godawful ugly. Four-headed monster is a good description. Queen haven't produced a really good album cover since their first Greatest Hits package.
Oh that is such...
such...
hmmm....
Geez, Holly... when I try to argue that, I can't. They have been pretty lackluster. But it is fun watching the heads morph on GHV2.

Whether you like them or not, you have to admit "The Miracle", "A Kind Of Magic" and "Innuendo" are distinctive, get your attention and stand out, which is the point of an album cover.

... I hadn't seen it until a few seconds ago.
I'm going to live in denial for a little while, and try to avoid the obvious questions like "why doesn't this follow the established look of the existing Queen releases" and "couldn't they have paid someone with a working set of eyeballs to design this?".

Lots of things get my attention. However, that doesn't mean they have any artistic merit.
