way to expose your terrible judgement

Every country album ever

What else do you expect? A photo of the artist tells more than a shitty design or cropped painting/photograph

Sometimes it works good. Mudhoney's Superfuzz Bigmuff is the only one I can think of on top of my head.

i thought it came from album covers' original purpose to give a face to the artist and help brand when no one could get any information on the artist if they wanted to

Does it count as narcissism if the artist is blind?
