The Lawnmowers - "Fearless"

I should make it clear first that this is not a review about the music within this album, but rather its album artwork (which is not a reflection on the musical content, anyway). The first noticeable thing is the photo of a rabbit, which glows to the point of looking rather blurry and overall like a picture anyone could have taken (well, anyone who does not scare away the rabbit). Then the photo is topped off with the band's name in a very boring Century Gothic font. Maybe boring is too harsh a word, but I can definitely say that this font does not belong here. Also of note is that the album title, "Fearless," is missing from the cover, but perhaps it is for the best. It probably would not have helped design-wise, although this does mean there is some missing information on the cover.

Maybe the album art would have been better off if the band name was also missing (both the band name and the album title appear on the spine, anyway). It would not really change the fact the photo is not particularly pleasing to the eye, but it would help prevent the cover from being worse off in the way of its design.
