I’m a sucker for “year end” madness (and this year, we have even more lists with the decade ending! hooray for my organizational brain) so today I bring you Tiny Mix Tapes‘ choices for the best album covers of 2009. A lot of these rely heavily on surrealism (Piano Magic and Glen Johnson’s covers are so derivative of Rene Magritte) and drizzly, hazy psychedelia to stun you and most are completely devoid of lettering of any kind. Compare these to 2008′s choices if you’d like.

Some of these are quite awesome, others… not so much. #23 for instance—an unfortunate selection.

steve–for some reason #24 reminded me of your walleye fest poster? not the way you did it, but with the fishing lines, etc.
