yeah, i dont want to get into "cool packaging" because theres just too many rad records from last year i probably already forgot. as far as just cover art
converge-axe to fall (unfortunately i couldnt find one of the full gatefold)
and my other favorite is the WALLS one sided 12" which is so simple and perfect, but i couldnt find an image besides this ebay auction WALLS
and Merriweather Post Pavilion is such a great cover. i think i bought the LP because of the cover.. [cause it would look so puny and lame on cd] it suits the music. or, at least, their psychedelic live show...
@internaut, I was definitely gonna post the Blue Record art. Also, SWEET Jenny Saville painting on that Manic Street Preachers, ales kot. Kind of one of my favorites.
Will contribute to this in a week. About to have massive internet disability.
