Anyone got an explanation why bands are now doing this boring, simplistic shit? I'll bet there's a dozen more albums just like this that came out recently.

I can't find the link again, but I actually just read an article discussing the changing nature of album art because of digital distribution, namely iTunes. Album art has to be simple and scaled down to look visually dynamic when reduced down to a size smaller than a postage stamp. Most bands actually have very little creative control of their album art, surprisingly enough.

That's actually very informative, and that's a pretty sad trend, but it makes sense. Even Sargent Peppers is only good on a vinyl.
