Album Covers of Today

These are a selection of some of the most recent album that have been released by popular artists. The main i've noticed is that most of the current albums now seem to just use a photo of the artist or band for the front cover, and use little else. Some photos are a close up, where some are mid to long shot. To me, this seems to be an effective idea, but part feels it may be to simple or to dull, with the fact that every other cover is the same at the moment, but its definitely an idea worth thinking of for mine.
