The design from the tour tshirt with the tigers on would have been infinitely better than the official SATT cover, which was awwwful.

So hard to choose; I love all their covers, but the highest has got to be The Holy Bible.

It's just the impact it had on my memory: way before I considered myself a fan, I remembered that there was a band with an anorexic singer who killed himself or something and the cover had this person who looking at himself/herself through a mirror from all angles and seeing nothing but how fat he/she was. Imagine how thrilled I was to see the cover again

JfPL (love the art, love how striking it is)
THB (as stark and ordered as the album itself)
GATS (striking, again; the odd wood/metallic tone; not crazy on the font)
GT (great photo, great font, love the tattoo use; sad that the colour came out wrong)
PFAYM (aesthetically pleasant, greyscale, composition; doesn't say very much about the album)
Lifeblood (suits the album; could've used a better blood-painting-thing for the actual cover)
TIMTTMY (again, suits the album, setting is gorgeous; poses look like they just woke up and don't know where they are <- bad photo choice)
EMG (love the neatness, font, empty brackets; dislike the portraits and colour scheme)
SATT (I just don't understand this choice)
KYE (THISISADESIGNDISASTER)
