We haven’t even made it a full week into December, but we’ve already been bombarded with musical Best of 2010 lists. The yearly ritual certainly risks growing stale long before Christmas — meaning that list makers are going to have to step up the novelty level. So we admire the folks at MySpace Music for enlisting Vahalla Studios to create 50 minimalist album covers to accompany their top 50 albums of 2010. We may not agree with the entire list, but we are loving the art. Check out 10 of our favorite covers after the jump.
Superchunk — Majesty Shredding
Wolf Parade — Expo 86
Yelawolf — Trunk Music 0-60
Liars — Sisterworld
Black Keys — Brothers
Titus Andronicus — The Monitor
Beach House — Teen Dream
Sleigh Bells — Treats
The Arcade Fire — The Suburbs
Kanye West — My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
