They really went all out on the graphic design budget with this one. 

To paraphrase drunk Orson Welles, find me a Yo La Tengo cover design that looks polished, and I'll go down on you (I'll give you Sounds of the Sounds of Science).

 

Anyway, for some reason I'm really excited about this being a double LP. Feels like they haven't done that in forever for a new album.

I know they’re not going to win any design awards, but most of their album covers are sort of arty in a playful way. They don’t look polished, but they have a lot of color. This one looks like you just used an Instratram filter on a picture of nothing, and the typeface is horribly bad - like, so bad it goes straight past being ironically cool all the way around to bad again.

Hahaha fair enough. You've convinced me. It is bad, even for them.
