The Deepfield cover I thought was photography at first, although taking a closer look at it I'm no longer sure. Clearly there's been some element of photoshop involved, but the lack of light reflections is something that makes me question it, and is something I think doesn't work about the cover. On a side note, I think the text is truly awful.
The Kings Of Leon single cover is the complete opposite of this. It's the sort of inspirational stock photo style image that you expect to see/use when making something to purely look nice, although I really don't see any reason for that particular photo to be used.
The Noel Gallagher cover is pretty much what you'd expect from his style of music. An urban photo at an odd angle to change to perspective and focus of the image, with various lighting effects to cheer it up a bit. This is the sort of photography I'd like to stay away from because if you're taking a photo only to change its focus anyway, what's the point in taking it in the first place?
The Killers album I think is quite clever. It shows a corroding wooden hand in a forest, which immediately puts an image in your head of your arm falling of and disintegrating, well it does to me at least. This is sort of consistent with the somewhat strange lyrics the bad use in some of their songs. This sort of photography is, I think, a lot more interesting than the stock image style of photography as it's a lot more relatable and unique.
