    well im just comparin' the artwork of LP studio albums and 4 me ATS has the simplest and the best artwork. it suits the mysterious and melodramatic nature of the record.
    for me
    cover:HT>ATS>MTM>Meteora
    booklets:ATS>Meteora>MTM>HT

    sorry for my multiposts.........;)

    meteora's artwork is good too as it has perfectly captured the concept of a "work in progress" and being able to present the progress of an album in form of the artwork is exceptional.

    HT/Meteora/Reanimation

    I'm not a big fan of the ATS and MTM artwork tbh.

    MTM artwork was just a pic of the band 2gether.....not much of a theme there.

    If we're going by album covers, Hybrid Theory by far is the best in my opinion. But regarding the art inside the books, ATS is definitely the winner.

    Not saying it is my favorite, but MTM does have some pretty cool surreal and abstract artwork in its booklet. I can't pick my favorite though... I love all of the art work.

    I've always loved the meteora artwork. I think the art is one of the big reasons meteora is my favorite album.

    Agreed there. Cover wise, I'd say Hybrid Theory > ATS > MTM > Meteora

    I'm really hoping for some really amazing artwork album cover and booklet wise in this new album. This album for now appears to have no restrictions for its artwork so they can really pull out some amazing work inside and out on this one. Especially after ATS, they know what they are capable of doing.

    i want the cover of the new album to be a little more artistic like the HT one.

    true

    LP do a lot of thinking be4 putting out the artwork. each one is different and special in its own way.

    what would be ur reaction if the artwork of the 5th records looks similar to this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gold_Cobra_album_cover.jpg

    I would agree to that quote if the artwork was blank (just white). I will never understand this modern art phenomena, its like rich people want an excuse to stare at crap and get a meaning out of it and spend $5000. This artwork might not be "modern art" but it is as dead to me.

    Personally I think apart from the creepy-as-F**k cover for the HT EP most of LP's album covers have been a bit lacking. HT is still probably the best, with MTM being well staged and photographed. But really there nothing no other band has done. For me its the inside art that really shines.
