I agree on the albumcovers thing.
I myself somethimes notice by looking at the cover i think its either great
or terrible. Before i even heard it. Then i mostly put myself to listening
(with my eyes closed) so no cover peekin. For me usely it does a good trick.
But then i take it home an i'll be disgusyed again by what i see. hehe
