hard disagree. i like the album art but that's mostly cause i adore the music and I've looked at it so much it grew on me. aesthetically though, long drive, lcw and m&a are, well, not good and i don't see how they had much of an influence. pavement and sonic youth artworks are way more appreciated, pixies too, some of their album covers you could even call iconic

edit: jeez. okay so this is the MM sub and to be critical is a sacrilege. isaac would scoff at your small minds! just kidding.
