I think it's the artist's job to give the album art that will evoke the best mindset while listening to the album.

If the artwork makes you feel something, then yes it can adjust the way I perceive the music.

It gets memed, but I think this album art did a great job conveying the lightness/sickly sweetness of the album

cover arts is the only reason I listen to music

Cover art is crucial whether you like it or not and anyone who says otherwise is a memester

Yeah of course. The album itself is a statement an should be taken into consideration. It's not just there by random chance.

I always appreciate when a band has a nice album cover that suits the vibe of the album.

But it's not a requirement, and doesn't necessarily change the way I hear it.

Yes, absolutely it does. Music falls prey to vagary extremely easily, so if you want to deal with specific themes or topics, it falls to extramusical content such as artwork, titles and packaging to convey this and provide the connotative meaning by which the audio is to be perceived.
