I think a lot of those are illustrating a visual pun on the title so not Yawnsomely Literal. Might have been thought of as quite imaginative at the time but got dulled by familiarity in the interval years. Not like somebody's come along and generically botched something up as a bad advertising company might. Seems to be some thought put into what has been illustrated and how. Also seems that a couple at least may have had the image in mind before naming.

just a taste... and that doesn't include any of the covers where the artist is looking winsomely inward, reflecting on his/her deepness.

the four corners are basically all the same emotion, and the bottom middle isn't really an emotion, it's just "looking away from camera"

Well done! Rupert Holmes ftw, looks like a pretty full life he's lived in that circle. We started at the Itsukushima Shrine, baby, and look where we've ended up.
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 11 August 2014 01:15 (eleven years ago)
ha. scrolling through i thought for half a second that it was a band called full circle with all kinds of inexplicable album titles.
― Merdeyeux, Monday, 11 August 2014 01:19 (eleven years ago)
That band would have ruled! Like, each time they're trying to make up a really generic name for a different style of artist that might put out an album called "Full Circle."
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 11 August 2014 01:34 (eleven years ago)
a lot of those albums can be summed up as "this is my first album in 20 years!" or "this is gonna be last album ever!" or "this is the album where I reflect upon my long and fruitful career." Rupert Holmes must have been an extraordinary human being in order to have gone full circle at age 34, just 2 years after his big hit.

Leon Thomas managed to avoid using the circle motif, despite the album title:

Though funnily enough, he used it in an earlier album with a different title:
