If anything that should enhance the cover!

Absolutely. And I'll take that over a Nasa image plucked from Google Images and/or a photoshopped Avocado anyday.
Yeah, I just Google Image Searched for "space stuff" and found the Binaural cover image as one of my results

Something called Riot Act that looks like a Tool cover should have much more badass music. It loses points for false advertising.

I remember it looked like it from the preorder screen on pj.com but all I've seen show up has been the black one
Yeah, every image I saw was white until I bought the black one. I just assumed the white one was the 10C version.

Another reason why Lightning Bolt could be seen as Riot Act's younger brother...

I did think that when first listening.

The run from Vitalogy-No Code-Yield was the best artwork this band has produced, with No Code taking the top spot for best album cover

But the LB artwork is the best they've done since that golden era

I don't think the covers of Vitalogy or No Code are especially impressive. The interior artwork is a different story.

Bullshit. I just ran that search and the cover image didn't come up at all.

It is an image that seems to show up quite a bit. I know I've seen it randomly on the covers of Science magazines and books. And there's a huge print of it in the walkway that goes from the el to the airport at Midway Airport in Chicago, along with all sorts of other pictures of space stuff.

Yeah, it's a pretty famous picture. It just doesn't come up when you search "space stuff".
