USA Today’s Whitney Matheson gives her suggestions for the best album covers of the summer, giving the top nod to the Cure’s new self titled CD.
Matheson also recognizes some of the worst album covers of the summer, which is a bit like shooting fish in a barrel. (link via kottke.org)
What’s your favorite album cover?
Mine would have to be Five Iron Frenzy’s Quantity is Job 1 EP. Douglas Ten Napel of Earthworm Jim fame did the artwork, and you have to give bonus points to the title (for those who don’t know, the EP contains about 6 or 7 real tracks and about a dozen filler tracks, including the “These Are Not My Pants Rock Opera”).
My favorite album cover would have to be at play with THE PLAYMATES. Genius.
