I showed that in most cases the album cover art is not mentioned in the text.
The album cover art is part of the whole package, IMO; it's thus valid to show it as a visual depiction even if it's not explicitly mentioned by itself.
It is quite posible to buy an album without knowing what it looks like.
It is indeed, but it's not easier.
Besides, there's a long history (pre Wikipedia, heck pre internet) of album cover art being usable as fair use when writing about albums.
