I think that Painkiller - Judas priest has the best cover

I like this one

http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs48/f/2009/227/3/7/Life_Starts_Now_Album_Cover_by_psychopath94.jpg

Obviously, it's Three Days Grace's new album, Life Starts Now.

I like quite a few album covers..... some of the best are:

Sgt. Peppers Lonley Hearts Club Band it is a classic and I love all the famous people on it.

Think Tank by blur is very cool and a bit Banksy looking.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not by Arctic Monkeys yes smoking is bad but there is something cool about this cover.

Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols by the Sex Pistols is pure punk (I know God save the queen is a single but it too has a great cover

Disturbed's album covers aren't really interesting. City of Evil by Avenged Sevenfold...different story.

I think that the color balance of a lot of these albums are off, it should have an equal (or at least close) amount of dark and light colors. Other wise it looks very cluttered.

The second one especially is an album cover nightmare >.< you can barely see the name and artist. Not trying to be mean, just saying.

I like the TDG one because of the colors and simplicity of it. The colors are equal, and they draw your attention to the birds using color.

The Nirvana is unnecessary for an obvious reason.

Just trying to bring a little discussion into this thread. Also, I'm in a graphics design class, so we're learning about things like this. What makes a good poster, logo, album cover, etc.
