Though the album is far below the band's standards, the cover is beautiful:

You got to that before I could, I'm a big fan of UTIS. ^.^

I think album artwork really helps to convey the mood(s) of the album itself...The best for me would have to be "This Desert Life" by Counting Crows and "Superunknown" by Soundgarden.

UTIS is a neat album. everything they have done since hasn't appealed to me much, but i really like that one.

its one of those album covers that really shows the mood of the album for me, and almost kind of changes it. like the songs wouldnt feel the same with another whole style of images as the artwork. i cant imagine those songs without that image, and all of the inside of the booklet as well is probably my most favorite album artwork ive seen from anyone. it all just puts me in just a good kind of mood/atmosphere or whatever. i cant even describe it.

woah i hope that was coherent.

I've never actually heard this album, I've just always loved the art. I also like the Daisy cover art which I have heard some of.

I really liked the Placebo album cover Venison. I might have to listen to that album.

i'm going to list a few because i'm bored.

given we mentioned MCIS- Adore, the vinyl and the CD



and they aren't technically albums, more like b-side albums, but i like the art for HIM's Uneasy Listening Vol 1 & 2. its done in an Art Nouveau style.



i also like Franz Ferdinand's album art. its mostly done in a Russian avant-garde style.



and a couple more i like- Radiohead/ Thom Yorke and Apocalyptica.

I still haven't picked up their latest copy. I'm still pissed that they canceled their American tour dates. Seriously Brian? You do have fans here... :upset

Now I know how everyone else feels when Billy doesn't tour in their area/country.

I can't find any pictures but the linear notes of American Gothic are amazing!
