I kinda like it.
 
Most of The Flower Kings album covers are pretty bland and ugly.  The only one that I like is Paradox Hotel.  (I've never listened to any full albums by them, though.  This is just from surfing around PA.)

I don't know, I think Retropolis' art is pretty neat.

And I actually kind of like Glossolalia's cover... sort of surreal and Dali-esque, in my opinion.

Chimera - s/t
The little picture in the left upper corner was the intended cover for the aborted late 1980s release of this somewhat over-hyped piece of psychedelia/acid folk - they shoud have stuck with it! 

The album features pink floyd's nick mason and richard wright. It was recorded 1969/70. The album in the picture is a limited vinyl-only release form 2002.

James: Blood? Awesome. That's totally metal. Go on.
 
Andres: Then I'm gonna mix it with my own semen, and then squish the liquids between two sheets of plexiglass and take a picture of it.
 
James: ...
 
Lars: BRILLIANT!
 
No seriously, that's exactly what it is. Why do you think they called it Load?
