If the Supertramp cover were just a bit tackier, I'd say it was a masterpiece of ****tiness, but now it's too blah for that.

Floyd - 13
Supertramp - 2

I think it's time to take Supertramp out behind the shed and put both barrels between its eyes.

Consider it put out of it's misery.
The following two albums were selected by me for the simple reason I find them eye catching.

Round 1 Heat 5



9. Smog - Red Apple Falls

Vs

10. Teenage Filmstars - Rocket Charms

The frame and starred thing kind of ruined the Rocket Charms for me. And the Smog one is weirdly alluring. I keep having to take another look at it.

I love the imposing figure of the cathedral, like something out of "Game of thrones". The other one is totally meh.

It may be a close one!

Teenage Filmstars cover shows a lot of fun and has a cool look.

Smog's cover is good, but the Filmstars' use of the 60's Hotel ad look is for the win.

I agree, I like the image but the overall composition of the cover is bad. I don't love the Smog cover but it's much more to my taste - well composed with better typography. Also I like architecture and old cathedrals and the colors give it a 60s feel.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.

Initially, I liked the Smog cover when I saw it on my phone. Sitting at my laptop with a large screen, I really enjoy the detail in the Teenage Filmstars cover and it reminds me of the pool scene in Caddyshack.
