Right on sbessiso... although there is no comparison between the albums :), the art for Sea Change is better.

[TomAz]

* except it's not even makeup, it's treatments, so it's even lamer.

I'd forgotten about the sheer magnitude of awesomeness in that Neko Case one.

Needs more tigers and vikings though.

[hawkingvsreeve]

Nah.

A hot redhead in a skirt on the hood of a muscle car holding a sword is pretty much the peak I feel.

Nirvana - 'Nevermind'
http://206.47.170.43/music_v1_1/images/nirvana-300.jpg

Every iconic album needs an iconic image and Seattle's finest sure as hell came through.

Kurt Cobain conceived the baby swimming towards a fish-hooked payday to reflect their concerns over "selling-out" to a major label while still radiating pure joy.

Though the label suits were concerned that the baby's penis was visible, they caved when Cobain's only agreeable alternative was a well-placed sticker reading: "if you're offended by this, you must be a closet pedophile."

[Edmontonian]

A couple I really like due to the optical illusions:

Soulwax - Nite Versions (when you stand back the words appear, I didn't notice this til I bought the vinyl)

Yacht's upcoming album - See Mystery Lights
