I looked through the forums to see if this poll has been done before, and I couldn't find anything, so if it has, sorry about that!
Anyways, is there a general consensus on this site, or is it more mixed? And this is between the two cover arts and 'When It Started' vs. 'New York City Cops.' Personally, I prefer the US version in both regards - the vibrant blue and orange of the US cover is more appealing to me than the risque UK version, and though I like them about equally (and less than every other song on the album besides 'Trying Your Luck'), I feel 'When It Started' fits better with the other songs and the overall mood of the album than 'New York City Cops.'
Edit: The third option of the poll is supposed to be "US Cover and UK Songs." Thanks CA Dreamin for the correction!
Mod:
Changed the 3rd poll option for you. Too many varieties. JD

US cover is just so ordinary and unremarkable. I feel that the UK cover pirctures the essence of The Strokes while also being very visually pleasing. _________________ All time

Yes. The US cover is very bland and really has nothing to do with the band style, and music. It looks as if they (or a guy in the record company) chose randomly a picture in an online catalogue...
it may be "iconic", but i think the original cover is kind of tacky. it looks too much like a record i'd expect find in walmart. _________________ follow me on the bandcamp.
