We are halfway through 2026.

I think we have our worst album cover of the year.

There it is. Something only a nightmare could generate truly and honestly.

I mean, look, I think it's cool that Benny Blanco has a sense of humor and is self-aware and sort of can poke fun a little bit at the public perception of him and his looks, for sure. But god damn, this is a hideous cover.

I could understand a post like this on some level as a quick meme or a funny little internet post to bring some self-awareness to your brand. But this is your album cover.

This is supposed to draw people into your music and reflect in some way the music that the album contains.

Yeah, I don't know what Benny was thinking on this one, to be real.
