KYE will always be their best album cover for me, so I'm trying to work out where I'd place this one in terms of covers?
It's better than GT and GATS covers. It's more basic than EMG and Lifeblood's. It's more striking than TIMT. More honest than SATT's so it's fighting with two Jenny Saville's now!
JFPL has the better cover to THB so... this cover would be my third, possibly fourth favourite cover so far. Given that I haven't got a copy yet!

It struck as a bit Morrissey at first, but it is growing on me. I echo stormstocome's sentiment of liking the phot but not the artwork, the font is a bit bland. Early days yet though (I'm tardy to the party, only just saw it today)

Echoing this. Great image, could've been used better.

(IMO... the typography is really clunky, and centering everything is boooooooring.)
