    No Code
    An avocado on a blue background is fine, it's a neutral sort of thing, a take on still fruit.

    No Code cover is an abomination.  A random mishmash of ugly photos.  It may be artistic (MAY, it's a bit 7th grade-ish) but it's ugly as sin.

    No Code
    I like the self-titled cover...love the shade of blue...the cover is (for lack of a better term) crisp.  

    For me me it was among Vs, No Code, and  Backspacer.  Overall, covers are not great.

    I like Vs. It has meaning to how they were feeling at the time.

    but that was the point of it, wasn't it? full of code/no code at all?

    I don't like letters with swirls...

    I don't like that cover because it's not original. It's a direct copy of a book PJ had nothing to do with. I have no clue why anyone would give the band credit for it at all.

    Pearl Jam
    The self titled album by a country mile. I don't get how No Code through Riot Act would have any votes. Same for Vitalogy. 

    Binaural is my favorite complete package with it being my favorite musically and with artwork. 

    On the flip side, Pearl Jam is the virtual opposite. Least favorite music and art.

    Lightning Bolt is hideously bland, the artwork and the music, I sold my vinyl copy, good riddance I say..
