That's my fav.
Then

even though 1/2 of it is rubbish.
Then

aparently the staff at Genesis record label looted the original painting when they knew the co. was being sold off. Class. (i'm mean that sarcastically...they're really a bunch of theiving ****s.)

I saw this album in a shop today and thought it looked prety cool

Well, it has a bunch of different meanings depending on the context, but my favorite has to do with astronomy

Gravitational singularity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Basically, a point in spacetime where gravitational forces causes matter to have an infinite density and zero volume. really mind-boggling. and that's what I interpret that cover to depict, since it resembles a black hole somewhat (well, if black holes were possible to depict)

Wow. I think I'll look into Mae now too, hopefully its as good as the cover.

It amazing how people really do judge things by their covers

I admit that I only know of Battles because I liked the album cover.

I also love how Battles' aesthetic is so minimalist.
