| The only thing Country Life makes me think of is liver disease and urine. I can't imagine how you could photograph someone more unattractively than this. If I had to use one adjective to describe the cover, it would be "sticky". |

Is it just me or is the Closer cover a lot darker here than in other places?

| Country Life should never have made it this far. Closer is SO much better, and sends it to the dustbin. |

I think people are just voting Joy Division because the albums are great. If the album sucked, I doubt it'd have as many votes.
In this case, I can see why, but definitely not against ITAOTS. |

| I love Closer album cover. Probably my favourite to win it apart from maybe London Calling and Animals (my nomination) |
