It's quite impressive when an album cover that' mostly black still has too much going on

Not necessarily bad artwork, but...

Did the sleeve designer for Neon Trees' new record actual accept money in exchange for essentially flipping Glasvegas' last album cover left-to-right? Come on!

It's not up there with the best Chap covers

But it's not terrible. Especially not in a year where a new PiL album is out.

The Hot Chip one was thoroughly underwhelming too.

      I was in Rough Trade last night and looked at their year charts, there's not a single cover there that made me want to pick up an album or made me think 'that looks cool'.
      
      I blame psychedelia, it's shit swirling patterns as far as they eye can see.

      Great album, but awful cover. It reminds me of that pretentious Hard-Fi one, you know, the yellow background with NO COVER ART or something on it. It's like, you have twenty seconds and Microsoft Publisher, GO!
