Every year, there is an eternal struggle to put out an album with the best cover, an album that deserves a recommendation just based on its art. That album cover has arrived, dear friends, and it's for Mastodon's The Hunter. The cover, which features a three-mouthed, feathered elk-like creature in mid-scream. And that's it. But this alone makes The Hunter the most anticipated album for the rest of the year. It's due out sometime this fall. [CoS]
