Geogaddi for me. Not just because I love the artwork, the detail, the colour schemes, but also because I feel it perfectly compliments the music of the album.

I just really love the Acid Memories art. I wish there were high res versions of it.

For me it's Music Has the Right to Children, partly because I'm pretty sure the location is the Icefields Parkway in Canada, which my wife and I drove down during our honeymoon. In fact we may have stopped at the very place.
Not sure of there's 'official' confirmation of where the album cover location is?

Play by Numbers. The reflection of the numbers in the child's eyes as if he or she was utterly transfixed at the enormity of a mathematical epiphany he or she's mind is too young to fully comprehend.

definitely Twoism. it makes me "feel" more strongly than any other BoC album cover. just an instant emotional impact!

'The Campfire Headphase' is a shockingly bad piece of artwork and the typeface used looks cheap.
The new album is perfect.

Twoism has the coolest of all the album art but I also really like in a beautiful place out in the country and geogaddi. I absolutely adore the font on the campfire headphase though too.

Geogaddi for me, absolutely gorgeous.

For some reason, Geogaddi's artwork just does nothing for me and if I'm honest neither does Tomorrow's Harvest's.

MHTRTC and Campfire are such amazing visual representations of the sound contained within the album and BoC's sound in general. MHTRTC is my favourite but TCH is a close second. I also like Trans Canada and IABP.

Personally, The Campfire Headphase has my favourite BoC artwork, I actually love the fonts too.

The front/back artwork has a pinhole/solargraphy look to it.

I love MHTRTC's sleeve most of all! I don't know of any other album art (by anyone) that suits the music it contains so well.
But I must say TH's cover has grown on me enormously since I realised I could see thru the city. It sums up the albums philosophy very succinctly
...what subtlety?
