coolest album packaging/art?

Laura's Marling box set edition of 'Alas I Cannot Swim' is quite epic

i know, for serious. i was pretty disappointed with the artwork in the in rainbows box set, it was very uninteresting. the kid a album art is just amazing, ive spent a long time looking at it.

Kid A doesn't seem special to me? :S

I quite like Kanye West's "Graduation", although it isn't really that good.

yeah i liked the coldplay one. i really like paper cases way better than the ugly plastic cases.

Doppelgänger by The Fall Of Troy was printed on Card and actually looks quite disturbing. Definately one of the more interesting album covers I've seen.

the Aerials version of Hadouken!'s debut, Music For An Accelerated Culture.
It came in a solid cardboard box.
With a little lanyard saying what Aerials number you were, a H! stencil, and an exsclusive artwork/lyrics booklet.
also, if you were one of the first 1000 (which i was ) to buy it, you got a signed Certificate of Authenticity to go with it.
and of course the CD, which was awesome.

It came in a plastic wallet type thing, with had 'Hadouken! - Music For An Accelerated Culture'.
then the normal plastic case had the green lines on. then the inlay booklet had the newspaper on, it was a layered effect.
the normal store-bought copy was just a bog standard print of the artwork.

I love that album, aha.
I love the artwork for Manipulator by The Fall Of Troy too.
