As much as we love music, we all know that the first thing that makes us pick up that certain album is the cover art. Sometimes, it leads you astray, but sometimes you find a gold mine. For me personally, artwork is very important, as I enjoy the visual representation of what the artist thinks the music presents. So, here are my top 10 favorite cover arts of 2015. You will notice that I like abstract ideas, but also art that conveys intense emotions.
