Genesis album covers

TOTT, TLLDOB, W+W. Also all the previous covers. They seemed to compliment the music , creating a whole. Duke was good , a move away from that old classic album cover feel but maintained that feeling of completeness , creating a concept feel. Abacab made a statement , " This is different". Abstract , no concept, not great but I did buy all 4 covers . Shapes was terrible. IT not much better. ATTWT was odd. Looked like it should've had some concept or meaning but I have never figured it. Clouds, cigarettes, lines, two people. Quite Odd.
WCD and CAS average. I always liked SO. Thought it was great. It had typical Genesis live image with the lines of lights.

But it's good to discover things you didn't know about stuff you thought you did know for decades.

Trick and Wind are my favourites (might partly explain my username!).
I love the colour of Trick and the way the characters on it relate to the songs on the album.
Wind is sparse, simple and beautiful.
ATTW3 is decent too. I like the moody colour scheme.
Duke has an iconic, cartoony feel to it that was so different to what came before.
Abacab is solid and I don't dislike Shapes as much as everyone else.
IT just looks dated now and simply isn't interesting.
WCD has a stronger cover but the Genesis logo is full-on ugly. Such a shame that they persevere with it.
