The year's best album covers

The Alternate Routes - Good and Reckless and True
Silhouettes walking by the sunrise/sunset. Beautiful.


Jimmy Eat World - Big Casion [Single]
The cover that should have been used for Chase This Light


Bright Eyes - Cassadaga
This album looks way too simple but the real reason it's great is because it comes with a "Spectral Decoder" which allows users to see the true cover art on the album.

Peter Gabriel compilation CD available with the Sunday Mail (UK newspaper)
I love this image.


Maria Taylor - Lynn Teeter Flower
An album cover that shows an artist actually recording.


The Smithereens - Meet the Smithereens
A nice homage to the Beatles but still keeping it Smithereen style.
