The music is the most important obviously, but the artwork contributes
to the album's "flavour" in a big way. One of the most potent
music/visual combinations I know of is the UA period with BB's artwork.
I know for a fact that if those covers were different, the music
wouldn't sound the way it does to me.

Also, if you lived through the Flicknife era, didn't you always get a
sense of let down each time you picked up the next "new" HW album and
looked at those, errr... putting it politely... low grade sleeve
designs?

The sleeve design is important and DH is OK IMO. That's enough acronyms.
