What is the most decieving album cover ever?

I think Pink Floyds "Dark Side of the Moon" album cover is boring. However, the album is unbelievable.

What examples do you have?

The Beatles White Album contains music of many colours ( but it is an original cover that I like quite a lot ).

Also What's The Story by Oasis deserved much better cover art than it got.

Opaz - Back From The Raggedy Edge. The cover pic makes it look like some sort of heavy metal album but it's actually soul/R&B.

Any Robbie Williams album cover is deceptive because it gives the impression that there's some music on the disc inside.

The cover of 20 Jazz Funk Greats by Throbbing Gristle (as well as the title) is completely misleading. The music isn't jazzy, funky or pleasant in the slightest! And for those who dare to look at the back cover, there's a nasty (and possibly illegal) surprise!

Robbie Williams... hahahaha!

Well while we're speaking about real albums here... you could add Mew's "And the Glass Handed Kite" to the list. Its slightly disturbing and looks almost like a late 70s release with the hair, etc. like something queen would have done. BUT the album inside is unreal; its gotta be with a cover like that I guess. haha
