I think a better way would be to either show stacked covers from top to bottom within the tile vs spiraled, or some sort of 3d angulated look that rotates when hovered over.
The main problem is that there is not enough space between the tiles and the covers don't stand out as much.
I understand that you want to differentiate between multiple and single albums but I think visually there are better ways.
It also takes way too long to switch views even after they have been viewed previously.
Could this be an option to turn off?

I agree about the spiral approach looking cluttered.
A stacked look probably would look nicer.
Perhaps something like this?

I like it this way. Stacked will eventually run out of room with many albums per artist.
Plus, IMO, stacked just doesn't look right and the example image here is at least as 'cluttered'. The movement when they cycle would be odd too compared to the spiral.

My 1st impression was that the spiral effect was too 'busy' for the eyes, but that quickly changed when I realised that they are actually a little informative regarding just how many albums are in each stack, relative to each other. I like this.
Alex B:
These girls don't like the increased white space around them. They don't like the smaller pictures. They like big and tight.
Also, they don't need spirals or stacks. They go their separate ways.

- the tiles are set to "Large".
EDIT Here is an older screenshot of medium-sized tiles: whygo.jpg.

The girls seem to like it here. Said something about finally changing their look or something...
