I stumbled across this article, comparing christian act Third Day's newest album, to the artwork of Radiohead's 2003 release, Hail to the Thief.
Radiohead : Hail to the Thief
Third Day : Revelation
Since we all know what Radiohead was communicating through their title Hail to the Thief*, what was the source of "revelation" that took the name for Third Day's newest creation? Was it implicit of anything specifically? One would think it must be, to possess such a title as REVELATION. In fact, I would only assume the best from my fellow Christian brothers, whose insight into the salvation of humanity puts them ahead of the game of life. In fact, if I had a chance to talk with the men from Third Day, I would encourage them to look for truth in all places, and claim all truth as God's. Look to culture, look to other musicians, look to what's going on in the world; mimic that which inspires you. But come on guys, don't copy what someone else has already done.

*Though Thom has stated that the album's content was heavily influenced by current events, he denies it having strictly political intent. However, the artwork of the album has been called a "roadmap," a reference by Radiohead to the Bush Administration's 2003 plan for peace in the Middle East.

I would venture to say the similarities of both covers are coincidental. Thirds Day's cover includes titles to their songs formed into the shape of a hill, which in Christian terms, is a metaphor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_upon_a_Hill
