Sort of sad that generic, no-message covers sell better than descriptive covers that relate to the content. I agree that cover art is, for lack of a better word, art. What works for a cover may not really be particularly related to the content if it's an effective design. In my experience, grabbing the eyeball in that fraction of a second your cover is on the screen or in the bookstore, is what it's all about.
