None. I adore the actual cover.

It's 15 million times better than 90% of the "I just want a pretty picture of her face on the cover" statements made on here. I hope her face isnt even on the next album. 

Yes, and it's important because her face doesn't really convey the message "Born This Way." BTW isn't a personal album like Joanne. Especially because many people in the GP and the fanbase don't understand that Born This Way also means being reborn as whatever you want any time in your life. Many people joke, "Well she wasn't born looking like an alien." Yeah, and that's one of the points of Born This Way. While it's an important political tool as a... dare I say... reductive statement, the truth is that Born This Way is also about self-discovery and reinvention.

Anyway, the cover does a much better job in causing people to pause and think for a second. And it perfectly foreshadows ARTPOP's whole "hybrid" thing because she's a mechanical human hybrid in the picture. :) And well, like you wanted, ARTPOP didn't have her face. It was her sculpture that's on the cover, not Gaga herself (I was surprised to learn that too; I thought it was her with makeup and photoshop--it's actually the sculpture with makeup and photoshop).

The slayage in this picture is just too much

This is fire, it would have sold another 5M+ just for the cover alone.

Everything about the regular version is amazing.  Campy, symbolic, rad, queer.  Love it!
