Cover art is the first thing that catches our eyes, right?  It doesn’t always indicate that the album will be good, but I do find that bands who take great care with their cover art have probably also taken great care with their music.  At least, I hope that’s the case.  Take a look at my top ten favorite covers of 2018.
