We can tell you without even having to Google it that we're not the first to think that the new Depeche Mode album sleeve looks like an aerial view of a game of Kerplunk, but whimsicalities (IS THAT EVEN A WORD) aside this is fairly likely to end 2009 as one of the year's worst album sleeves.
An odd thing about writing about pop music is that you get sent a lot of fairly bad American sort-of-rock music and without fail this music — we're thinking along the lines of Papa Roach — comes in a sleeve like the one above.
You can't even recreate it with Smarties. USELESS.
