Great
Yield: Very simple but compelling and enduring image. Evocative and memorable. Fits the album? Yes, both sonically and thematically. Riot Act: Cool image. Kinda spooky. Reminds me of Ozymandias. Fits the album? Yes. Points to the album's murkiness and themes of weariness, defeat, existentialism, the nature of power and its transient hold in the face of mortality.
Good
No Code: Lots of detail, really cool to look at in LP size. Kind of like Pearl Jam's take on Achtung Baby. Doesn't really cohere into a single image when you zoom it out but so what? Fits the album? Yes, No Code is a multicolored album that goes many different directions. Vitalogy: They took an existing design and straight-up cribbed it, but it works. There's something weirdly sinister about it that works well with the brittle darkness of the album. Fits the album? In a weird way, yes. Gigaton: I like this image. I'd be excited to listen to this album if I didn't know what it was. Fits the album? I don't think so. Screams loud and heavy, but what you get sits comfortably with Coldplay in the adult contemporary station. Vs: Maybe a little on the "edgy" adolescent side but it's a cool image and the goat kind of looks a bit like Ed. Fits the album? Yes
Meh
Binaural: It's a stock space image that by itself doesn't do much for me, though it works when paired with the music. Fits the album? Yes Ten: A big cheesy bro hug, which fits Ten because it's a big cheesy album. Fits the album? Yes Backspacer: I like Tom Tomorrow. I don't think this is a great design. Fits the album? I guess
Bad
Avocado: Real stupid-looking. Fits the album? Not really Lightning Bolt: Looks like a Canva template. Fits the album? Yes, inasmuch as it's Clip Art for a band that sounds like a Clip Art version of itself
