Instead of brainstorming the most complicated, unusual design to plaster on the cover, West walked in the opposite direction and presents something just as visually impacting, if not more so. He spoke softly, but carries a big stick.

I love the Yeezus Album Cover
Yeezus Album cover, I love it. I have a soft spot for any usage of minimal red as a focal point. But it's so on point (pun wasn't intended, but now is), so in tune (pun wasn't intended, but now is) with what Kanye West wants to offer on the album musically . Bareness. Spareness. Yet Riveting. The simple piece of red tape applied not perfectly on the edge of the horizon line. That contrasts beautifully with the filmy silvery iridescence of the disc. He made us appreciate the beauty of the blank CD itself, a fascination usually reserved for babies and the Amish.
