mine would be:

Kid A - Radiohead. Stanley Donwood does beautiful work and I definitely think this is his highlight.

Kid A
Brother, Sister
Illinois

[Kid B]

I wish Kid A had lyrics. That makes me so mad when albums don't come with lyrics because otherwise I would buy them on Itunes or something for cheaper. Or download them for that matter.

Jealous! I'm watching it again tonight at my friend's.. he's been waiting to see it forever hahaha. I was literally just talking about how I could watch this everyday for a month and not get bored of it. I love, love, love, love, looooooove Kristen Bell.

[CellarGhosts]

I don't actually own any D4 albums so I wouldn't know. But I trust they're intriguing haha.

[versus_god]

Totally intriguing. All of them are put together pretty nicely but This Shit is my favorite purely due to the hilarious song explanations. <Dillinger Four3

[AP_Punk]

Agreed.

[AP_Punk]

Oh and

Latterman - No Matter Where We Go!
The Weakerthans - Reconstruction Site

[versus_god]

I like the little rant about sexism in the No Matter Where We Go..! liner notes. Vagina-Americans!

And my This Shit Is Genius booklet smells like Hamburger Helper.

That's why I love it!

[airik625]

TDAGARIM Booklet. It's a masterpiece.

It had to be done (if it hasn't already)

[AP_Punk]

teehee

I always enjoyed Blink 182' self-titled/untitled CD booklet from 2003. When I bought the album I just sat on my bed before even listening to the album, and just read the entire booklet. I sat in awe over the artwork, the lyrics, the design, the production, everything. That was the booklet that really made me appreciate the whole spectrum of effort and work a band has to put into releasing an album. I also really appreciated Blink 182 putting in members of feelings and views of every single song; how it was wrote, what it was about, etc. That is my favorite CD booklet of all time. Nothing has matched it yet.

I think when I get bored of this one, I'll go back to my Veronica Mars screenshot of her and Mac holding up the "No Fur" signs.

[Kerplunk_23]

I really like the Story Of The Year In the wake of determination cd booklet,that albums means alot to me and I love the overall layout of it and meanings behind the songs.

Also Green Days booklet for Nimrod is also pretty awesome as well.

[Chris Fallon]

[bobby runs]

Taking Back Sunday - Tell All Your Friends [for the way the lyrics are laid out]
There's also the story about them recording the album.

I pretty much like all of the NFG booklet's. They do something special to all of them. My favorite might have to be Coming Home because of the one song and some of the lyrics in the picture thing.

[Circa1628]

all the tool ones are awesome.
The new Underoath is awesome, Slipknot did the same thing with Iowa.
In the Wake Of Determination and Blink 182 S/t because of the song by song commentary

[Klatzke]

Fiends by Chasing Victory has some pretty sweet artwork, and it feels like it was made with charcoal.
