Misleading Album covers

[Mailman1971]

Think this is an old topic but a buddy and I were talking about it this weekend and thought it is good conversation.
I mean something that was a Hidden Gem? Or something that looked bad ass but sounded like crap.

My Vote was Grim Reaper....See you in Hell.
Looked so evil and menacing back when I was in Jr. High. The record sucked!

Bought these at a yard sale when I was about 14. After about 2 songs my brother and I used the records as frisbees. I was not expecting southern rock when I bought them.

Flirting with Disaster.....awesome.

I love BAT OUT OF HELL!! Still listen to it these days.
But yeah....music no where near matched the album cover.
Same as Bat out of Hell II. Back into hell..

[Mailman1971]

This one needed no explanation.
Some kick ass Stones though to say the least.

I appreciate them now too but as a 14 year old metal head I was not having it.

Sounds like a tune my grandma used to sing to me before bed.

I know it's not an album cover, but I have always thought the greatful dead skull was very misleading. When I first saw the skull I thought the band would be a lot heavier. I was gravely mistaken.
