More than the cover, the album art I guess people took that to mean the whole concept art of the booklet, pictures and presentation of the album. These Days really captures a moody vibe about it, even if the cover is just a photo of the band, it is a great one, with little or no airbrushing which really captures a bit of "love us or hate us, this is us". It's like Bounce, that cover is nothing to write home about, but I lost the art direction of the whole booklet....
