Seven Tales is compositionally great, but I feel like maybe that makes it less unique? Like it's more of a standard composition? I think I might vote for ItCotCK, since it's more engaging, has a bit of suspense with the eyes directed out of the frame, and it matches the music perfectly.

I think it's fitting to share these. Top one is the full vinyl art, and the second is just picture I find slightly humourous.

I do not know anything about the technical aspects of photography or painting, I can only go by what emotional impact the covers have on me.
So it's: someone riding a bike in the air lifted by ballons vs. terror, fear, anguish, pain, disstress, horror personified.

I nominated Seven Tails and I'm voting for the Crimson King.
That should tell you all you need to know.
(On a side note, listen to Seven Tails, it's quite good)
