Nah, I'm into music. Cool art is a bonus. It's not something I obsess over.
It's like vinyl fetishism.. I'm not into that. I don't care if I hear a CD, a vinyl, a tape, an MP3, an 8-track... as long as the music is good, I don't care how I hear it.
I think people get very very into the aesthetics involved behind things ("OH THE ALBUM IS PACKAGED IN A PIECE OF WOOD!!!!!!!!!!!") or have some kind of weird connection to certain albums based on a certain piece of art or whatever. That stuff's cool I guess, but it doesn't really interest me enough to check out a band. I hear people on here going, "THAT ALBUM COVER RULES! I'M GOING TO GO LISTEN TO THAT BAND!" Makes no sense to me.
