I'm curious - does the music content actually matter to you? Would you buy an album from an artist you've never heard just because the cover art was great?
Not who you're replying to (but I'm in the same camp). I use the album art as decoration, but the music is the first selection criteria. The music has to mean something to me first, and then the album art just needs to "pass".
I have young kids also, so I try to stay away from violent or scary album art.
