Yeah, I love a good typography cover. Someone let them know that's not one.

wow that pink/moore cover is quite bold

When you uninvert the colours in that Ariel Pink cover, it actually looks pretty cool (except for the Yin Wang thing):
NSFW, obviously
Why couldn't they have just used the original instead of the arty inverted one?

the album sounded ok while they were reviewing it on npr but it also sorta reeked of black keys

Just the fact that he's even approaching being aggressive in any way again is refreshing. He's been dishing out meaningless jingles for decades.

Not a big fan of Cold War Kids, but I love this style of cover (note to The Walkmen: typography based covers done right can look really good!)

Slava - Soft Control
Can't remember if I posted that already. Yet another hands-only cover, kind of fascinated by the moisture content of this one though.
