    Cuz there was an awesome album under it

  • http://Gnartallica.wordpress.com Ross Gnarly

    Because Goat spoke to me and told me to tell you to tell me that I won. That’s why. And because this album pwns more that getting hit in the face with a dildo!

  • gauche

    reminds of the holidays.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Adam-Benton/598084866 Adam Benton

    Because it was the only metal album my mommy would buy me.

  • Double D

    it’s striking resemblance to my cock

    • AngryOx

      -What the fuck are you talking about?!
      This Cock is not the issue!
      I’m talking about drawing a line in the
      sand, Dude. Across this line you do
      not, uh–and also, Dude, Cock is
      not the preferred, uh. . . Penis-
      American. Please.

      -Walter, this is not a wang who built the railroads, here, this is a wiener that peed on my rug.

      • Double D

        nomenclature

      • Double D

        I meant that its not all that long and it brings pleasure to no one.

  • Baron VonVahstorik

    JFAC predicted WWIII. Just look at the album cover. Flags, planes, skulls, destruction…It’s all right there.

  • drunk with power

    It encompasses three of my favorite things: pointing my fingers at the moon, sitting in a chair and wearing something on my head that inconveniences other people when I’m riding the bus.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Dan-Burton/784250631 Dan Burton

    Because frankly dictatorial, war mongering ram skulls are fucking bad ass.

  • buttcheese

    My favorite thing about this cover is that my buddy Steve, who happens to be the guy on the cover, finally got a job. He always has trouble getting work, you know, with the horns and the skull face and all. Keep it up, Steve, you’ll be able to afford that surgery in no time!

  • BruisedMetal

    Id like the cover art for ruination if it were soft and in roll form so I could wipe my ass with it

  • chainchomp

    well the cover art is really too mothertruckin’ good for words. i mean the skull guy on there has his right hand pointed like a gun and he is shooting what appears to be the same thing that Sagat from Street Fighter shot when he yelled “Tiger!”. It took Sagat his entire mothertruckin’ body to shoot that thing and it only takes skullman on the cover here one finger. That’s the most mothertruckin’est thing that has ever mothertrucked.

  • Matty McNulty

    pretty much because its just some really bad ass art. simple and to the point.

  • Tyler

    Because not liking it would make me an asshole.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Matt-Cooper/864625407 Matt Cooper

    The cover of the actual Ruination, as all Job artwork (minus Doom) is awesome. Theres incredible amounts of detail behind the original artwork, and the monstrous cowskull-heading being that sits on the throne of the world with the moon at the tip of his finger is nothing short of brutal. All the vinyl artworks (especially the red Baphomet one, hell yeah) look incredible and extremely evil as well and I would love nothing more to have that in my room to show off as an awesome addition to my growing vinyl collection.

  • Andrew

    Because the day it came out I out I put a picture on my Facebook and my mom called me demonic for everyone to see.

  • B-dizzle

    I like it because hail satan

  • thebass444

    Because the cover art is completely generic. Who doesn’t love metal album cover art with a satanic-looking scary dude on it?

  • builtforsin

    Job for a Cowboy’s art is tits. Both the normal album and Ruination Live slay babies.

    I love dark, prophetic, detailed art. This will also make my vinyl collection twice as evil, and twice as sick!

  • some guy

    I love the artwork because I love the obnoxious political message in it. I live in a mainly conservative region of the country (the south) and covers like these always seem to get a good rise out of people. While it may not be as good or effective as any of Misery Index’s obnoxious politically charged artwork, it’s still pretty bad ass.

  • 6infinite6hatred6

    I dig the artwork because the Japanese flag resting on the Goat’s leg totally looks like a huge-ass bloodstain.

  • http://slowlyweblog.wordpress.com Baldish

    I like the cover for it shows flags across the globe on one “beast” who is raising war and ruin. It goes with what the world is doing today basically. You can also see the oil rig in the background which is a huge aspect of life today. It shows what the end of days will e like, cause by all the nations/powers in the world contributing together, sitting on weapons. Also, it features the ever returning mascot guy.

  • Seanicus

    Because that minotuar thing on the front looks like he just got back from a Hair Metal Cruise, wearing what appears to be a Hawaiian shirt made of the flags of the countries said vessel stopped into port at.

  • owen

    Its in keeping with the past covers but EVEN MORE METAL
    plus its pissed off a load of christian groups which is always a bonus

  • http://Facebook.com/kyleofe Kyle oh!

    I dig the cover of ruination because…. Well honestly I don’t give a fuck what it looks like, I just want free shit from a badass band. Chances are, I won’t win because my comment sucks soooo…. FACEPALM TRAIN!!

  • http://Myspace.com/primordialgore Charlie bitman

    It’s the sickest cover I ever seen. I have a huge blow up sized picture of it over my bed. You guys are the fuckin sickest band ever. Already have my tickets to see you in Philly at FUC. Never missed a show in Philly or dirty jersey!

  • Chris

    everytime i think of this and just job for a cowboy themselves which is my favorite metal band, i just want to slay babies. it makes me go crazy and i wish i could see yall live again. i saw yall on mayhem fest and omg, i jizzed my pants.

  • Tony Bliss

    Sick skeletons and fire and metal and shit and stuff…I’m English, gimmie a break.

  • Jonny Cumberland

    I Dig The Artwork Because It Looks Fucking Dark And Brutal. Its Like Everyone Of Job For A CowBoy’s Songs Depicted Through Brutal As Fuck Illustration!!!

  • Mia

    Its just brilliant art and thats why its painted on my wall.. suits my apartment perfectly ;)

  • Tzitlaly

    Why is this cover fucking awesome?
    Because it just is.
    Do I really have to explain?
    It’s all in the picture.
    Nuff said.

  • Gregory Eaton

    THIS ROCKS

  • Metalheadinjury

    Because I can make little girls cry by showing them it.

  • Gregory Eaton

    THIS ROCKS keep up the good work guys!!!!!!

  • Kyle Richards

    Because it reminded me of the DOOM EP.

  • Dylan Forgey

    It’s quite detailed. Reminds me of gypsys. The goat thingy has cool flagy flags and it’s obviously pointing to the ceiling and smirking as a blonde girl looks up.

  • Dan B

    The cover is just so awesome, the artwork is so amazing and it was a huge step up from Genesis. It goes with the album so well sine it had to do with governments and all. Hell I even wore the shirt of it today!

  • Focker777

    I like this album artwork because…….. It’s fucking METAL! I mean seriously, check it out! Dude’s got a goat skull for a head, his body is rotting away, he’s got guns behind his kickass throne, he’s wearing flags draped over him, he’s pointing up at the Deathstar in the sky to summon it upon mankind, there are some wings or some shit attached to him, a fucking dragon in the background, some fighter jets that suck ass, and buildings disintegrating. God know wtf it means, but in my book it’s fucking METAL!

    I should win.

  • Antihuman

    This album art gets me completely wet in the pants, like dripping wet, running down my legs and pooling in my shoes wet, swimming in a pool pool wet but thicker than water, bathing in a tub of softened lard mixed with tartar sauce wet, thick, stinky, juicy wetness.

    It also gets me moist, I get moister than a moist towelette, more moist then a Christmas ham left in a plastic bag too long, sweating ex-pig bits moist… I guess its not really ex pig but that’s not the point, I’m sweaty meat moist from this artwork, my crotch is like the armpits of a rotund (but happy) man on a treadmill set to a setting about 3.25, which to my best knowledge is moderately fast.

    Hell this artwork practically turns me into a fat womans gunt (gut-cunt hybrid).

  • steven f

    Ruination is the best artwork because satan speaks to me through it, telling me its the best one..

  • Connor O’Leary

    cause im just here for the prize in honesty.

  • Denver

    It signifies what the album is about like wars, and shows how the demon rules the world with all of the flags. It shows so much brutality and jfac is just that

  • Savo Rujak

    Ruinations’s cover art has to be among the best I’ve ever seen, I mean the detail of it all makes me jizz just thinking about it. The broken ram skull, the decaying arms, it makes me feel as though I just decended into Hell.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mike-Aten/100000068105522 Mike Aten

    WELL, its obvious that we have a kick ass album cover in lincon park. It’s climbin in your windows stachin your vinyls up. So yall betta hide ya’ CDs, hide ya’ records and hid ya 8 tracks.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Adam-Santucci/714275470 Adam Santucci

    Because i had given up on JFAC upon listening to Genesis, and this artwork got me interested enough to give them another chance (damn glad i did). Also i need to win this since some slut sheisted my Ruination shirt that i bought from their tour, so this would make up for that whorish folly.

  • Hunter Robertson

    The artwork probably the best one out of every album out there. It has idealism of destruction and power of cowboy occupation. The “world leader” is an evolution of the previous cowskull-rejects. He has lost sanity and is taking it out on the listeners… With metal. He orders destruction to building by planes. He also requires you to be mesmerized by his kick ass wing. Riots were held by the non-listeners and the metal heads destroyed them. The Cowboy Ruination has occured. It’s competes the saga of Cowskull-Rejects… For now…

  • Cole Boggess

    I love the art work because I think it symbolizes that every country has a demon within.

  • Baron

    I dig the album cover because it’s hard as fuck, I don’t really think any more needs to be said.

  • Seebo

    cuz it’s remind me:yo mama’s so bald you can see whats on her mind!

  • zach

    well for starters it’s job for a FREAKING COWBOY !
    next , anything that has some sort of skull as a head is just pure bad ass , i showed this to a family member and they FREAKED i stood there laughing my ass off for a grand 20 minutes . the artwork is amazing , when ever i try to draw something cool it usually comes out looking like a fucking 10 year old with ADHD tried to impress a friend with a box filled with only 3 Crayola’s xD . in the end it isn’t much what i care about the art work , i just fucking love this music , job for a cowboy i have loved this band the second i herd your songs , and even though there art work is kick ass , there music is what makes it more bad ass like SUPER DON’T FUCK WITH ME bad ass LOL . win or not still and always a job for a cowboy fan . P.S . fucking love the girly scream in entombment of a machine , and yea i know it’s not from the ruination album BUT i don’t give a shit ! :-) keep on rocking bro’s

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Gilbert-Vargaselizalde/100000314313059 Gilbert Vargaselizalde

    Ruination album is badass. Also the goat is badass

  • Ryan Marsh

    Wish I had more to say about it, cause its some fucking epic ass cover art, and I’d honestly get a metalsucks tramp-stamp to get that box set. Its actually symbolical and not just a piece of art thats gloomy/doomy/boomy like some cover art, and it manages to do so without being all drippy with semantics.

  • Psycro

    Why do i like the cover art for Ruination? many reasons. for one, i paid for it. another reason is that it isnt just some random picture that some jackass drew because it looked cool. it actually has to do with the lyrical content on the album. my third and final reason why the Ruination cover art is so badass is because i can stare at it for hours and find a new dynamic to it, and relate it to a lyric in one of their songs. it’s a very interesting and eerie picture, just what i expect for cover art from a band with as intelligent yet brutal themes as JFAC.

  • Aaron authers

    I like it cause old bull head looks like a mutha fukin pimp. Do you know what I am saying? (south park any one!?!?!)

  • Marcel

    Satan and ram skulls aren’t enough reasons? goddamn, those killer graphics are fantastic, i love em, gimme gimme!

  • Andrew

    Because its fucking sick and makes me want to punch a small child in the face :))))

  • Eduardo

    Cuz there is a fucking Ram Skull, and anything with a Ram Skull on is awesome!

  • Daniel

    CAUSE THESE MOTHERFUCKERS LIKE TO SCREAM THEIR FUCKING LUNGS OUT!! AND BECAUSE WHILE I LISTEN TO IT, MY PET CERBERUS HAS THE HABIT OF EATING LITTLE KIDS!!

  • http://twitter.com/tylermassie Tyler Massie

    It is not only the cover that is absolutely amazing have you guys listened to this CD it is total creamage.

  • Mike Callaghan

    The sheer brutality in the concept of Ruination makes me shiver every time I subject myself to the rare pleasure of viewing it. The artwork is consistent with today’s fucked up world and government controlled population. Don’t know if I should or not, but in my opinion, the title track is one of the most hardcore JFAC songs around. Job For a Cowboy, is amazing.

  • Tom

    cuz the chair looks comfy

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Alex-Rumboldt/670306081 Alex Rumboldt

    I love the album artwork for Ruination because of the many details about it. I love the idea of what seems to be a demon hellgoat, possibly representing the devil himself, framed with the image of bones, guns, fire, torture and despair, I like how the subtle skeletal wings that the hellgoat is adourning symbolizes a fallen angel, again referencing to the devil, and how he cannot achieve flight. He is a wounded bird, forever sentenced to traverse on the earth, underneath the rest.. Sentenced to spend eternity in a ruined nation, known by many as hell. His heart torn out and replaced by the searing razors edge of barbed wire. His arms are scarred with seemingly self-inflicted wounds, as a desperate attempt to feel something other than misery. Anything other than misery and eternal hatred from mortals, but he, is much more powerful than mortals. symbolized by the throne he is perched upon, with one hand pointed to hell belo, and one hand pointed into the moon, possible symbolizing heaven, which he hopes to one day conquer and terrorize. he is surrounded by planes of terror, which have been seen, and been the demise of countless souls during many of the earths wars. burning buildings to his right also represent chaos found in parts of the world. these regions go through hell and back, but their hardships go unnoticed by everyone but themselves, as struggle to survive in such a corrupt government entity drives them closoer and closer to the edge. To the left of the demon, is oil. The demise of thousands. Such a terrible substance, the cause of wars, deaths, riches, and poverty, as well as the systematic destruction of our planet.

    Overall this album cover as an incredible piece of art, and I give my props to the artist who designed this cover, and the band, for being able to represent all these themes so beautifully, yet chaotically in one of the best albums that I may witness in my lifetime.

    • Jadon

      wow. +1

  • Utmu

    Because that’s a flag-toga made from the flags of the dream that Joe from Circle of Dead Children had that inspired the name of CODC…

  • VoP

    “I dig the album cover because…” This is how far I got. I dig the album cover but I’m too lame to put it into words. Maybe I can’t think of anything funny because I’m as funny as the writers of Metalsucks, which isn’t much but the level of metalness reaches new heights every day. Is “metalness” even a word? It should be. That would be metal. Oh, and me winning would be metal, too. And just to throw it in, the album cover is metal aswell. Metalness FTW!

  • Robbie

    DO NOT WANT EVER

  • CS

    The album cover forcibly caused my dick to implode on itself.

  • Dmandrake

    About Ruination cover artz, no coment. Hey guys! do u have layaway program cuz maybe I’ll buy thanks to http://tinyurl.com/2wy256d just rilex and wait till they open the box!

  • HeroinJesus

    Because i remember the day i saw it. i came home, saw the announcement for the new album and the cover art, and i came everywhere. and the room i was in needed new paint, i enjoy my new white walls in that room, but the rest of my house needs a new coat. and it just so happens theirs 3 rooms and 3 new artwork pieces i have not seen that come with this box set. Metalsucks, help me paint my house.

  • Kurt Scatchard

    because the goat will be inked on me wen i can afford it lol, and the album well its brutal as fuck, i might be the only kiwi dude to appreciate jfac!!!!!!! creative juices flow like blood on this album cover its roars greatness!!!!!!

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Espky-Dm/1083256512 Espúky Dúm

    Because the cover is the most epic thing i ever seen…

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Alfonso-El-BrutdeGoya-Williams/15501040 Alfonso El BrutédeGoya Williams

    The cover iz awesum kuz apparently, ol’ boy lost his legs @ a JFAC show so now he’s gotta roll around in that Hell’s Carrier HC-666 motorized seat for the rest of his life, and he’s pissed as hell. That’s y the guns r on the back, kuz if he finds u guys, he’s gonna send ya’ll back to hell and make u sukk his limp dick till he gets feeling back in his legs. So watch out dudes and make sure ur passports r still good.

    when i see this shit i feel like i’m gonna kill some doom ep’s fans

  • slice two

    i actually don’t like it. when i heard the name of the band, i was expecting some awesome cowboy rustling music, as i am, indeed, a cowboy. unfortunately, “job for a cowboy” is a misleading name, and the cover scared my kitty.

  • Karin

    I really like the fact that the theme of your new album actually could be real (: In the world that we live in now, usually the world powers just can’t avoid war, and a 3rd world war is something that could happen just to satisfy the thirst of power that the human beings have. Is just.. human beings aren’t ready to surrender or make any act of redemption for anybody hahahha xD that’s why we kill, and we just don’t care if we get advantage of it.

    And that’s the reason why I don’t care if I have to kill you to win this >=(

  • Will Kriss

    I dig it because it looks awesome. It looks metal.

  • jamie powers

    I LOVE it because it was on the shirt my boyfriend let me have after staying overnite at his house and he introduced me to the world of JOB FOR A COWBOY!;)

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Matias-Ignacio-Vigouroux-Alvarez/760809486 Matias Ignacio Vigouroux Alvarez

    Because everytime I see it I have like a thousands erections at the same time just like every song I hear from them ♥

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Ryan-Desembrana/100001266886300 Ryan Desembrana

    why in gods name would anybody want this?

    • Jadon

      because we have whats called ‘taste’

  • Christian Campos

    Because…just because in Mexico we are so poor that we only can buy used and old-fashioned tapes.

    • Jadon

      do you go to gca?

  • Marc Hunt

    Why WOULDN’T i like the album cover? You know what this cover does beside blow my mind? It rapes Heironymous Bosch in the ass. IN THE ASS I TELL YOU. Rapes him in the ass with its mighty cock of GLORY! i unfortunately do not have a beard to shave, or an extremity i can spare in its honor. Because this prize is on vinyl, along with the amazing cover being able to be seen even better because its larger, any good music collector worth his salt would kill for a collection comprised of vinyl. i have nothing for my collection yet, but this would be a near pinnacle of a start of said collection (the absolute greatest starter that i could think of is Slayer, but yeah, no beard, sorry guys)

  • Anthony

    Because I’m a cowboy and have a job

  • http://goatheadcorp.tumblr.com/ chris

    Because it was made by one of my fav artist Brent Elliot White, and my artworks could never be as awesome as this guy’s. And everytime I saw the cover artwork, I have to clean my CD and change my pants (well sometimes I dont use any pants, just a cowboy hat) because I jizzed a lot, and JFAC’s music just made me more orgasm.

  • trence75

    Cause the abs man,the freakin abs.

  • trence75

    Cowboy up muthafuckas.thats why

  • Billy

    Because I just really wanna get high and just look at the vinyls covers and not play the records. I don’t have a record player; on the other hand, I do have the CD. Hey! I’m just being honest.

  • Victor Senjic

    because some guy called Brent Elliott White made the album cover and we all can assume that he’s probably into Satan, sex, drugs and death metal. and Carnifex released an album about him earlier this year. And I still believe that Brent made this album artwork after playing oblivion the elder scrolls and then killing the adoring fan, which nobody adores.

  • Iron

    Because it makes an otherwise terrible band look interesting.

    • Anthony

      Because it makes an otherwise judgmental guy think he’s interesting by commenting on a band that he thinks isn’t interesting. But he still reads posts about such a terrible band. I wish I had so much time to invest on bands I don’t like instead of the bands that I do. I must be wasting my time listening to music I like instead of trolling pages and commenting on my opinion on bands that I don’t like.

      • Iron

        u mad?

  • Anthony

    Because it reminds me of the hundreds of unfunny metalsucks.net contest posts

  • Anthony

    Or the goat is proud on that chair that he can get a vinyl without having to deal with hot topic employees and spongebob swag.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Josh-Thieler/151100909 Josh Thieler

    I like it because it is br00tal and the metal gods (y’know the kids who work at hot topic) tell me i should. and i want it on vinyl because then all the hipsters will respect me for having more vinyl.

    …and cuz the record rules and i want it on vinyl

  • Howie

    I dig the artwork because I am a 14 year old boy with long bangs and tight pants and lip piercings.

    • Anthony

      Finally justin bieber knows metal. Make sure u post your tour with jfacb. Are you guys touring chucky cheese? 500 ticket aint nothing

  • skwis

    it’s so brutal it makes me murderously horny

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Emmanuel-Quinones/100000463639580 Emmanuel Quinones

    I DONT LIKE THE COVER ART BECAUSE THEY ARE TRYING TO SHOW THEY ARE TRUE METAL, BUT THEY ARENT CUZ THEY ARE DEATHCORE AND DEATHCORE IS FOR SCENE KIDS, AND SCENE IDS ARENT METAL THERFORE JFAC ISNT METAL AND I AM VERY METAL

    • Slaughterhouse

      I know this is supposed to be funny, but Ruination is straight death metal. Doom was Deathcore, Genesis was a blend but Ruination is straight up death metal.

    • Jadon

      no you are very retarded because jfac is not deathcore anymore. they were only deathcore in the mechanical hand and doom and those aren’t even albums, they are eps. Genesis was a little bit of both (deathmetalcore?) and Ruination is full blown tech death metal. dont judge a band from ONE ep. and if you dont like them WHY EVEN COMMENT?! i hate idiots… unless they fall a lot… then they kinda funny

  • Luiz Estrada

    My fucking god dudes!
    It has goddamn motherfucking PAZUZU on it!!!
    Nothing more “Metal” than that…
    Put Pazuzu on your album cover…guaranteed you’ll get visited by the demon at night after you’re done listening to who’s ever album has this king demon’s image on it!

    Look at fucking Regan from “the Exorcist”…she must have been listening to some pretty brutal evil shit late at night and next thing you know… BAM! she’s possessed by Pazuzu
    and banging herself with a crucifix..not to mention she is talking like she’s singing along to Job for a Cowboy…well kinda…but you know…

    Point is…Want a really awesome album cover?
    put PAZUZU or something/someone that resembles PAZUZU on the cover and done…
    you have yourself a gnarly album that will make you believe, holds the key to a demonic possession >:D

    as said by the great iwrestledabearonce PAZUZU FOR THE WIN !!!!!!!

  • Fredrik

    Because the album cover is thr00

  • Doomed do Better

    Pure and chrystallyzed amazement ! First off the logo: JFAC’s logo looks a big ass fleshy fly has been splattered upon Oderus Urungurussesesses crotchpiece, then licked off by Gene Simmon’s (aka inventor of the world) tongue-tip, finally spat out a goregasmic schmorgasboard of metalspikes on eyeliner. On the background we see the gigantic fossilized horned skull dude with unified nostral gaps (a rectal pun is not needed here I think) making intruiging handgestures, sitting on bat-bone-winged chair with immense symbolic detail which maked you head spin for days. The madness then really begins while exploring this overture of this plenty-ordinary dark scented piece of metal artwork. Planes, Long hard steel guns (penile pun… anyone ?), dark troubled sky, stars ‘n stripes knee cloth and an oil-pump-thingie in the background… Can this… would they… my f*ckn*g uncle on riveraft YES, this one is as deep as it is uncompromizingly in your face, dark days beware cuz this will blind you by pointy things in your eyes and makes your rectum burst for it is a relentless brown-note set to canvas. This one takes politcal artwork to another level, through the roof. This one is going on my back, yes I like, I seriously like… aaaaahhhh yessssss…..
    ……
    Hah, well I completely lost interest in it now, I’m going to watch the game.

    • Jadon

      haha funniest

  • Simon Rönnberg

    The cover tells you that one can not simply JFAC their way in to Mordor.

  • BILL S. CRONK

      HUH…. ?

      What just happened?

  • WowWee!

    When I gaze upon the Ruination album cover art I start shitting flaming boulders while I vomit out lava from hell and I cry tears of Satans piss then my brain gushes out from my ears forming a statue of a succubus and finally I jizz out all of my organs onto the succubus giving her life then she consumes my very essence of my soul.

    Me typing this right now is only short of a miricle.

  • pixelate

    It reminds me of the original Doom game.

  • Jim Jones

    Because it makes me feel as though it retains the over-sized reincarnation of Randal Blythe’s brain housed within it’s ponderous horns of imperiling magnitude possessing all the knowledge and power of the known universe but still only cares to ask, “what’s the matter, DO YOUR PUSSIES HURT”?

    • Jim Jones

      Allow me to re-phrase:

      Because the disheveling protagonist at it’s cynosure makes me feel as though it retains the over-sized reincarnation of Randal Blythe’s brain housed within it’s ponderous horns of imperiling magnitude possessing all the knowledge and power of the known universe but still only cares to ask, “what’s the matter, DO YOUR PUSSIES HURT”?

      • Jim Jones

        Allow me to re-phrase for the last time, u ughm:

        Because the disheveling protagonist at it’s cynosure makes me feel as though it retains the over-sized reincarnation of Randal Blythe’s brain housed within it’s ponderous horns of imperiling magnitude possessing all the knowledge and power of the known universe but still only cares to ask, “what’s the matter, DO YOUR PUSSIES HURT”, which get me all hot and bothered like correctional officers after yelling at inmates making sweet dysfunctional love in the staff bathroom.

    basically shows what happens when The Dark Lord has an Ewok for lunch…..He gets really bad gas

    This album cover is so brutal, I can’t look away from it. It like, burnt itself into my eyes. Also, one of the greatest albums out there? Yeah, totally.

  • Slaughterhouse

    I love this album cover because he is performing the half shocker, not to be confused w/ the jaw dropper, but since he only has 3 fingers per hand, He has 2 for the pink and a thumb for the stink, which technically is a shocker

  • J

    cause it gave me a quarter chub just thinking about how dirty that mouth is.

    Seen u live many times u freaking pwn!, its like nerly better than sex!

  • JT_USF

    Because it sort of reminds me of an Overkill cover, but not exactly, or a Megadeth cover but too brutal or a Slayer cover, but not enough blood….

  • MetalSpider

    I liked this because when I looked at the art and then at the band name, it didn’t say Brokencyde.

  • http://DeadFetus Mike Hunt

    I like it because it’s just like the band. Shitty and generic.

    I LIKED IT BECAUSE IT’S FAST, BRUTAL AND FUCKING IN YOUR FACE. JUST LIKE THE TIME I GOT FUCKED BY SIX BLACK GUYS.

    i doubt this will get read

    but i sincerely think i should win this album because I seriously appreciate the Ruination album at this time more than ever.
    The more i listen to it, the more that comes out at me. It’s truly a masterpiece.
    Alot of people that I know hate the album and said they sold out or something, but to be completely honest, these types of people are jsut silly fucking fans who turn their backs on bands once they arnt the little tiny band people usedto feel special about liking.

    JERB IS SHAKING THE WORLD and its just tragic

    Another reason i should win is because ive tried searching, and i cant find any record store that has the box set in my city. BOO! I dont know if they shipped any to canada or what but I would love to have this for my vinyl collection.

    another reason is that I actually own a record player, and about 35 records

  • Nick French

  • Charalambos Charalambous

  • MIKE LaFERNEY

    It looks like a man with an elephant’s head pointing to the moon with 6 guns sticking out the side of his chair Or is it a man with a dog’s head with an ostrich on the right side looking over it’s shoulder?.I like it because it is like a Rorschach test for the year 2010.
    Don’t know what it means but I see alot of phallic symbols and aggression in that picture. Isn’t that what metal represents?

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Zakk-Perez/100001460666627 Zakk Perez

    What’s there not to like about the cover? It’s a perfect fuckin representation of the title. It’s a ruined fucking nation haha. It has the apocalyptic destroyed city, a fire probably burning prisoners of war, some big viking looking horse figure in the background, planes that resemble army pilots. The best part though, right in the center is the dictator looking creature on his throne with a bunch of flags, shotguns on the sides of him and a giant ball below him showing what looks like an army marching. This album art is SO metal I love it! It might be a representation of what the next world war would look like. It also might be what made that girl scream on their song “Entombment Of A Machine” haha xD.

  • Unborn Energy

    The album artwork contains a materialistic, post apocalyptic transitioned, & ruined world. The death metal held within the artwork is expressed through destruction and violence. It shows how no matter how hard you try, Job for a Cowboy will always succeed in kicking your ass. With destroyed buildings and presumably (evil) oil rigs, The Leader has taken over those industries. With the succession of those taken over, he conquered to world. (choose me)

  • Hunter Robertson

    this kicks Jiggling ass. Objects Blow From bOmbs in this RetrAnsfirmed band. CoOl I What the Band dOes. Yes.

    Check the capitalization pattern!

  • Hunter Robertson

    When listened to, the destruction and chaos is having sex with my ears… \m/

  • Jordan Baker

    Because it depicts the day that Job for a Cowboy declared war against the emos.
    I think we all know how that fateful day ended…

  • Ryan

    Because it is SATAN!!!! thats why its cool :)

  • Nick Dauvin

    Look at your comment. Now back to mine. Now back to your comment. NOW BACK TO MINE. Sadly, it isn’t mine. But if you took the time to look at Ruination, it could look like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re looking at Ruination, absorbing the flag clad, goat-headed, mechanized machine dominating the cover. Back at mine, what is it? You’re noticing the subtleties within the works. Oil rigs, aircraft, rifle, bullets, troops. Look again. THE ARTWORK IS NOW DIAMONDS. Anything could happen when you are a fan and not a pussy. I’m on a horse.
