Which Linkin Park album has your favorite art (cover + liner notes art), and why? For me, This was a really close tie between A Thousand Suns and Living Things, but I'm going to have to put A Thousand Suns on top. The art is just so damn unique, and you can tell a lot of effort was put into it. Plus, the revaluing of the cover singlaned a massive change for Linkin Park, and I love it. I much prefer the deluxe black cover for A Thousand Suns. Funny thing is that I lost my Minutes to Midnight jewel case ages ago, so I have no clue what the art direction was like, other than what I can see from the cover. EDIT: I forgot to capitalize the P in "Park" in the poll name, DAMMIT!
For me, it's a toss-up between "Meteora" and "A Thousand Suns". "Meteora" definitely has the better front cover art out of the two ...
Meteora: I thought respirators were the coolest thing ever back in the day lmao anyways the album still looks cool. Love the graffiti theme.
I don't have Meteora, but I have all the other albums and the artwork of A Thousand Suns is hands down the best.
I'm stuck between Meteora Blue cover and A Thousand Suns Black cover. I think both of them are AWESOME! I think Recharged cover is really good. If it was in the pole, I definitely vote it.

Meteora, easily. ATS art was cool for the most part, but I can't stand the cover. On the other side, I've never cared much for LT art direction.
Did you know that the graffiti artist in Meteora's cover is painting the original cover to Hybrid Theory? Oh you didn't? That's because i made that up.
Imma go with Meteora. It was... unique. ATS's wild animal based art pieces were cool but a little weird.
The artwork that came in the Deluxe Edition of ATS (vinyl, hardcover book, special edition CD, et cetera. tops the list.
The sheer scope of A Thousand Suns artwork was really impressive. Every release had different variations on the same themes. I don't understand the love for the Meteora cover. Maybe I just don't think the spray-can/graffiti motif is that great, but there's nothing to get out of it for me. The ATS cover, plain as it was, could at least have a few different interpretations based on the themes of the music. I also liked the deluxe MTM art because it was just in-studio pictures. Some were pretty funny. It just felt like a good documentation through pictures.
It shows Delta at work, which helps to express the "work in progress" visual theme that "Meteora" had going on.
