I believe that alone disqualifies it from this competition.

However, in most matters Björk, kiteless has it right.

C'mon, it's Björk - were you expecting a Glamourshot?

Plus, the album title is spelled out in FIRE!

Before there was a "Björk" added to the top, there was a version of this image with only the photo and the flames, and if you'll notice, the flames have been formed with the intention of spelling out not only "Volta" but "björk" on top of the T in Volta. Not even the most retarded artist would put the artist's name on the album cover twice. Björk-related art/aesthetic is quite ordered and intelligent.

And some Photoshop sleuthing of a hi-res version I have reveals a hastily erased/blurred object between her hands, as well as a window or some object off to the left. Most of the surrounding environment has been blacked-out, as well. This font will most likely be used, as it appears to be the work of M/M Paris, with whom Björk has worked before.

I wonder if this will be a continuing trend?

We have to remember that she's only a visitor to this planet and should be greatful for *anything* she gives us. When she's gone, we'll all be crying spray painted gold macaroni tears of sorrow.
