It's difficult, isn't it? That would kind of imply that the older covers are not as good. And that's not true for sure.
I would say:
The covers are getting better and better, every time i look at them. 8)

I love all of Joolz's artwork, but I think she may have surpassed herself (as far as NMA artwork goes) with From Here. I think it's destined to be the most beautiful of all the album covers. I can't wait till it arrives just to hold it in my hands and admire before playing the music  :)

Yeah, From Here is really beautiful and i would love to have a real big poster image of it to hang on the wall.

From Here is, indeed, a wonderful piece of art, but I think that Winter is just fantastic...

...I think Joolz may have surpassed herself (as far as NMA artwork goes) with From Here. …

.
Nah, "From Here" is a weak effort. It is far too much a rip off of both Van Gogh and Picasso's blue period work.

But, yes, Joolz really has gotten better. "Strange Brotherhood" is pretty bad, but "Between Dog And Wolf" is fantastic...might even be her best NMA work.

Just look at the album cover below. It really would make anybody wonder what the music inside that cover is like. And not surprisingly, the music does fit the cover...the cover does fit the music. Evocative imagery that compliments the music inside. That's a winning recipe for a fantastic album cover.

I agree, Between Dog and Wolf cover is fantastic. However, I disagree that Strange Brotherhood is "pretty bad". I really like it. And I totally stand by my opinion that From Here looks beautiful - in my opinion. Here's the thing - art is subjective, and you don't get to tell me what I like or not  :)
