"Yes, indeed, why don't all stores just abolish all packaging and all brands can be in the same white packets with a-team style printed lettering on them"

Sadly this has more or less happened with the current era of net labels and downloaded music.

In terms of a piece of art the Mills cover fails but as i said you'll never forget it for its tackiness :) so +1 for Jeff.

The point i was trying poorly to make was this sci fi concept album is represented well with this cover. 50's B movie styled sounds and 50's b movie styled images. i think the cover works for what it is.
