Faust - 3
Can - 2

The Can cover is a mess.

The Faust cover looks like an amateur Photoshop cover. Can's cover is art. I don't love it, but it's much more interesting.

I wish my paintings in MS Paint looked that good when I was 5

I'm going to have to go with Faust because I have a thing for x-ray photos.

i'm not overly fond of the colour on can's cover, but the faust one looks not only like it was done in 4 minutes, but the position of that hand is weird and aesthetically unappealing.

The Faust album cover is pretty cool with the X-Ray, but I prefer Can's. Mostly because it reminds me of how much acid they were on at the time.

Can - 5
Faust - 4

I'm not a huge fan of either covers, but I like the Can one a bit better because something about the bright orange really stands out. I don't like the typeset on the Faust one and just the title with the hand seems plain and oddly positioned.

It's really back and forth! What puts Faust over the top for me is that the sleeve is actually on clear plastic and it looks awesome with the clear vinyl.

I've always loved the cover for Tago Mago, it sums up the contents of the album very nicely. Not too keen on the Faust cover.

Can - 7
Faust - 6
