Well, to be fair, there will always be the capability for the booklets with pictures/lyrics.
Most albums you buy online now come with "digital booklets", for example the last few Lady Gaga albums came with a PDF file with pictures, lyrics, etc, etc.
And iTunes has similar digital booklets, but there's also "iTunes LP" which can be very interactive with pictures, video, lyrics, etc etc. So really, I wouldn't mind if music ditched physical cds to go all digital, because then artists could spend more effort on creating some really awesome iTunes LP content.
Gorillaz' "Plastic Beach" had a really cool iTunes LP with some games and video and just pretty art.
Tyrese Gibson had a few songs he released in iTunes LP with his "Mayhem!" comics. Really cool, because it had a song, then it had a comic book, and then there was the comic book animated with narration.
And since Alpocalypse came with absolutely no extra content, I'm sure that if given a chance, next album could adopt iTunes LP and have all kinds of awesome interactive stuff.
Alpocalypse actually comes with an iTunes LP file, but I haven't gotten the itunes version yet, perhaps I'll be surprised.
But Alpocalypse iTunes LP, I'm sure, does include a digital booklet program type thing, with pictures and lyrics.
All the more reason why there's no real reason for Physical cds to hang around, other than for the "OMG physicalllll", but people can just as easily burn their own copy if they want. Otherwise, all the music lives in the cloud and can be re-downloaded forever and ever without worrying about losing the CD or it getting scratched.
