I don't think these lands look that good at all. Some do, like Steam vents or Godless shrine. But the majority just look like random colors sprayed all over the place. There is no detail in most of them at all. What happened to awesome art like the original shocks by Rob Alexander? It all looks so undetailed and the colors are way too bright. Not to mention the majority of them don't look anyhing like their title describes them...

What kind of crack are you smoking? Look at the detail in the Prairie Stream art. I can't help it if you don't like them, but to say that these don't have any detail is a gross exaggeration.
Some of them truly are great, but others are much less so.
They clearly didn't allot the time and money needed to make all of them on the level of Misty Rainforest or Cinder Glade.

The ones you bring up are done by Min Yum and that's just his style. Just do a Google image search on him and you'll see quite a bit of his art looks like that. It's fine to not care for it, but it's a fallacy to say that it isn't detailed.
Man, I don't think there is a single artwork by Veronique Meignaud that I dislike. She simply amazes me with all the pieces she does. It makes me mad though that both the Flooded Strand and Polluted Delta are her arts for these, since of course I want a playset of each, but my wallet can't handle that...
If i had MSE i could do these cards with the full arts and just put the hybrid mana symbol in the text box area and theyd look better.

Not really- several of them look like concept art or color guides
(most notably Hallowed Fountain and Temple Garden).
