So, I'm listening to the Hovercraft album, and I'm thinking, "Wow! This music goes perfectly with the ugly ass artwork in the liner notes." It even makes the artwork look better, and the artwork makes the music better.

So, which Pearl Jam album's concept art matches the music best?

I'm going with Vitalogy.

I'm gonna have to say Binaural. Sort of the dark, space-time, concept art really sets the tone for the album.

I think BiNaural's art goes much better with the Hovercraft album.

Totally Vitalogy, when you read those erie letters and paragraphs about self pollution... it totally gives a scary mood, especially when you think about kurt cobain in reference to a lot of the stuff

Pearl Jam is among the best artists of all time, in terms of creating solid album artwork. This often trails off as one opens up the booklet and is given, *gasp*, black and white photos of the band. However, the cover art has consistently been an amazing and memorable setup, and definately appropriate for the music within.

Vitalogy, No Code, and Yield are probably my favorites.

PJ's cover artwork is yet another reason why I love this band. I would have to say that the Vitalogy artwork suits the concept og that album the best.
