Even though all Fantomas albums are awesome both in terms of the cover and the music, I always liked their album Amenaza Al Mundo is awesome in it's B-movie/comic book style vocer.



The Dillinger Escape Plan feat. Mike Patton's "Irony Is A Dead Scene" is quite the cool cover as well. I like the colour mix and the way nothing stands out too much and the subtle creepy feel it has to it.

System Of A Down's self titled origional album has a very cool cover, with nothing but a hand coming out from the darkness, kind of like the band itself, coming from unknown darkness into fame and excelence.



Speaking of debut, self titled albums, we have KoRns album, which started it all! A very eerie cover which suits the style of the band perfectly, or how they were anyway. It has a real feel of "wrongness" and that's what it's supposed to feel. A job well done.



Another simple album is Foo Fighters' "The Colour And Shape". Simple but effective and very cool looking. As with "irony is a dead scene" I like the colours.



Here we've got a true masterpiece, Muse's "Absolution". It has one of the coolest and most unique album covers in a long time, and matches the bans' genius.
