Book Jackets: research point

This publishing house have book jackets which are not my a cup of coffee: http://www.sourcebooks.com/, the jackets look overloaded by graphic, some covers with illustration I liked but in general the graphic design are not interesting for me.
The same situation at Harper Collins http://www.harpercollins.com/Book/Bestsellers.aspx

I liked this Swiss publishing house (I have their book Grid systems), their design are clear, simple but I had feeling to look it that it is sometimes a little bit boring. I think the feel which I have is somehow connected to a calculated, mechanical, plastic design. I think some disruptive think is missing here, something more creative, which is tearing the wall of that clear design. I need think about this more. It is only my opinion. Anyway I liked it.  http://www.niggli.ch/buecher_e/items.php?cat=1
