Wow! Thanks for compiling that list.

Not surprised to see Burning Bridges scored the lowest but is the format really that different to New Jersey? For those who rated NJ high on their list - is it the 80s font that did it?

Surprised WAN didn't score higher - they seemed to have spent a lot of time on it - I think it's definitely their most daring cover.

Thanks for your work!

The cover of WAN is a great idea but I just don't like the chosen colors. That's the reason why it didn't get too much points from me.

Agreed! And New Jersey as well. The Circle and What About Now are way better than both of those IMO. I wonder if the content of the albums influenced people's votes.

Glad KTF won though!

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....
