I like the cover of Grizzly Bear's Yellow House. It's the only thing I like about the record, though.

I disliked the album, but the cover for the Arctic Monkeys was kinda hot. I also adored the Thom Yorke, Matthew Herbert, Joanna Newsom, Band of Horses and Scott Walker album covers.

I agree. I'd say the Yellow House cover/booklet is my favorite of this year. (But I liked the album too.)

I also liked the art on Liars' Drum's Not Dead, Uusitalo's Tulenkantaja, Comets On Fire's Avatar, and Under Byen's Samme Stof Som Stof.
