It's too bad I've seen I THINK two or three other CDs do the same thing they did.

My favourite CD cover is Spiritual Machines... without a doubt. I loved it so much I wallpapered my room in the cover art.

Another one of my favourite's is MGB's Beautiful Midnight:

But who doesn't love this cover?

I especially love the glossy text all over the cover and inlays

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down
, I'll find the way to peace and openness.

Beautiful Midnight is my favourite album booklet thing EVER.

Though it's more for the inside than the cover.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.
