To be fair, that one is kind of unavoidable: if you name your album "Circles", and there's nothing circular on the cover, then somebody in the art department was trying to get cute.

Circles is even better than that picture portrays. The vinyl had a die-cut cover around the largest photo of William and it was also a circle, of course.
(Album is decent, btw. Very Bitches Brew and Hendrix-inspired fusion.)
Fleet Foxes Shore is also another one where it's like, "Yeah, what else could possibly go on the cover?"

One of the other threads prompted me to look through Hipgnosis' portfolio, which was about 1% greatness and 99% terrible puns. I was slightly surprised that Herman Rarebell's Nip in the Bud wasn't a cutting-edge 1970s photo collage of e.g. a Japanese woman curled up inside a flower. Or a cartoon of a Japanese man emerging from the mouth of Bud Flanagan. I don't know.
But for every record that subverted my expectations there were e.g.:https://i.discogs.com/jmwFe8CMWGMTebwwg6Zyl025k8_rmMQcSs1TMUzDgnk/rs:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:596/w:600/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9SLTI4MTk4/ODMtMTM1MzcwMjU0/Ni01ODI4LmpwZWc.jpeghttps://i.discogs.com/HYyu7Aq6s54H_wEbN0HIO0C0kHZztznhl10nYBba12M/rs:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:484/w:493/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9SLTI1NzMz/NTYtMTI5MTEzNjI3/OC5qcGVn.jpeghttps://i.discogs.com/TA1FtI02uBHilzt6hJyWtMGtzyiNbLu9VFKR1WR9iQw/rs:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:600/w:600/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9SLTM2Mjc3/MDktMTQxODMxNTQ3/Ni0zNTk2LmpwZWc.jpeg

And also Big Jim's Back by Big Jim Sullivan - it's a photo of his back. But that seemed too obvious. It must have been posted already.
Scrolling through all those records I am again struck by how utterly, totally, inconceivably alien the likes of Third World War, Toe Fat, Ancient Grease, the Edgar Broughton Band etc are to my Depeche Mode-trained ears. It's as if the British music industry decided in 1970 that Humble Pie and Spooky Tooth were the future, so they signed up loads of scuzzy British blues-rock bands that sounded like Slade - but slower and without the catchy melodies - and then realised a year later that it was a bad idea and dropped them all.
Meanwhile the public rejected them, they were erased from the collective public memory by pub rock, and they never ever had a revival anywhere on Earth ever.

I've always felt the first two Wire albums had brazenly literal covers. The first is simply a flagpole with a Pink Flag, and the second a table with Chairs Missing.
I find both covers charmingly artful and humourous rather than yawnsome, however. I actually laughed out loud the last time I pulled out Chairs Missing.
