M.I.A: Maya

Rating: bATsh!t

Cover of this album is a culmination of M.I.A’s oddball youtubish computer-crashy image-vieweresque graphics introduced on her three singles. To see them, filter out the „special coverage“ tag.

Yawn: Kind of Guy

Rating: Very insane

Dubbel Dutch: Throwback

Rating: Moderately insane

Wolf Parade: Expo 86

Rating: Moderately insane

Could there be a more retro title than „Expo 86“? Of course, „Expo 58“, for instance, but that one did not take place in Canada, the homeland of Wolf Parade. BTW I heard first two songs published off this album and the record is sure going to be great!

Tokimonsta: Cosmic Intoxication

Rating: Very insane

Funkineven: She's Acid / Must Move

Rating: bATsh!t

OK, bearing in mind that "she's acid", maybe she is just used to having her eyes and ears examined with this super duper multi-colour ray, but what about those shoulder protectors?

The Divine Comedy: Bang Goes the Knighthood

Rating: Moderately insane

Aaah, so stylish! What is more, it is second picture in a row with shiny diamonds.

Benny Benassi feat. Kelis, Apl and Jean-Baptiste: Spaceship

Rating: Moderately insane

As if pop art itself was not cheesy enough, a combination of Andy Warhol and Damien Hirst is cheese to the power of cheese.

Mock & Toof: Tuning Echoes

Rating: bATsh!t

I found this one as front+back cover together, enjoy! Designed by the very amusing Billie Jean

M.I.A: Steppin Up

Rating: bATsh!t

Sleigh Bells: Treats

Rating: Very insane

Necrocock: Lesni hudba

Rating: Moderately insane

The title means „Forest music“ in translation.

Woven Bones: In and Out and Back Again

Rating: Moderately insane

Fang Island: Fang Island

Rating: Moderately insane

Ironically, this hazy washed-out picture is here for you in very high resolution.

Klaxons: Surfing the Void

Rating: Moderately insane

Is that the Aerosmith logo on the flag?!

Mount Kimbie: Crooks & Lovers

Rating: Moderately insane

Tobacco: Maniac Meat

Rating: bATsh!t

Perhaps all of this should be folded in a black plastic bag with a Parental Advisory sticker, THEN we would get to see the cover art and THEN comes the music.

Cathedral: The Guessing Game

Rating: Moderately insane

Cathedral’s rating was saved by that retro Magic The Gathering font.

The Bitters: East General

Rating: bATsh!t

Not everyone will really have the guts to study this grisly picture in detail, but I do have this one in hi-res.

Wild Nothing: Gemini

Rating: Moderately insane

M.I.A: XXXO

Rating: bATsh!t

Another out-of-this-world collage for M.I.A, be sure to check the cover art for her single Born Free as well.

The Dead Weather: Sea of Cowards

Rating: Moderately insane

Twin Stumps: Seedbed

Rating: Moderately insane

Yuck!

Born Ruffians: Say It

Rating: Very insane

Underworld: Barking

Rating: bATsh!t

Yes, they are still alive and their song Scribble (which you can legally download from their site) does not sound that bad either.

Der Dritte Raum: Rosa Rausch

Rating: Very insane

This picture actually includes the artist name and the album name in a kind of 3-D, but just don't stare onto that for too long.

Ernest Gonzales: Been Meaning to Tell You

Rating: Very insane

Alcoholic Faith Mission: Let This Be the Last Night We Care

Rating: Moderately insane

Nice hills/flames/whatever it is there, but I just love their name and the title.

Coco Rosie: Lemonade

Rating: Moderately insane

Today here is one more record called "Lemonade." The gender-bending cover art for this single follows the pattern of their album Grey Oceans

Pure Moods: Lemonade

…on the other hand, you have to appreciate the effort needed to train all these dolphins to jump up simultaneously and form a giant smile.
