Album art Revisited...
A thread similiar to this was posted by nerdosquare a long time ago. It was great. Regarding album cover art, have your tastes re: aesthetics or butt-uglyness changed since then?

This is my favorite cover of all time and I think it's the one that represents the most the atmosphere of the record itself.
 The first time I saw it, I was left speechless. I would lie if I said that the cover has nothing to do with the fact that it's one of my favorite records ever. (Even if the musical content is awesome ! But I think the cover is very important for this album...) |
Some of my favourites are...
   Can't really explain why, I just this these ones are really cool |

I don't obsess over album covers. I do really like this one by cerberus shoal, though:
