Hell of a lot better than Musicology's piss-poor art. This is quite good, especially if they don't write anything over the top.

WOW that is awful. What statement does this make?. This makes the Musicology cover look like Sgt Pepper!!!!. It's cheap looking, unimaginative and whatever else you choose!.


Well, considering the fact that the Sgt Pepper cover looks like a floral shop exploded next to a toy store, I'd say that's a good thing. cool

Album covers are still very important to me! smile
The visual album art gives the album a whole atmosphere.
I think a very bad album cover can kill a very good album! smile

Very good. Should match the music, the album cover art is always a giveaway what's inside. That just happens to be the case.

We are in the era of digital downloads and you guys are worrying about the cover of the CD.



yes, because it still matters. and when 'solid' media becomes completely obsolete, cover art will still be relevant. something visual has ALWAYS been attached to albums and it always will be, even if it's a computer graphic.

If you think so but, to me this attitude that some of you have about downloads is like belonging to the flat earth society.

todays album cover art is tomorrow's album web site. NIN had one for its last album. prince has one for 3121. it's still visuals, it's still art. however you want to define it, the visuals still accompany the music.

I am digging this cover. I hope this is in a jewel case and not that cardboard shit we've been getting for the last 5 years.

I don't remember what digipak is. Is it like the Musicology cover?
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

For reals.
I saw an old kung-fu movie where this guy was taking a leak. He told his friend; "dont stare...you'll put me out!"

Not bad. Much better than Musicology. I like the direction they are going, but the picture feels a little unbalanced. The hand area and the shadow from the face seem awkward. It's a nice effect though with the silhouette.
