Beautiful cover and love the font... If I could change anything it would be the whole face instead of the bottom part of his face. His face and eyes r 2 beautiful 2 b hidden or cut off

Nice.
But the music better be much better than that.

Great design. I've liked that portrait since it was first shown. It demonstrates how his lips and 'stache are just as iconic as his eyes.

Hey, pretty much the same that I wrote

I like it. It's his best album cover in a long time. I agree with KoolEase who said that it's great to see him use purple again in his album cover cause purple fits him so well. I hope the music is just as great. We will see.

please see... Jesus Wept

This Cover is awesome!!
Best Since 3121!!

Prince you've done it again!

Oh... How...predictable.

But will still buy this! As always!

I'd say Earth, Wind and Fire meets Pink Floyd ... what do you think?

So frustrating. How does he fuck up again and again after so many amazing album covers? It looks like he did it or he got some tacky tacky "artist' who knows nothing about album sleeve design. The mouth looks so stupid. If anything it should be an eye. The font looks like the "Solid Gold" logo which was tacky even back then. I don't think anyone will ever understand who is driving his lonely bus these days, but I wouldn't count on a very good record. He always has a hype before a new record and he will most likely have some reviewers compare his new stuff to his golden era hits for a solid first week sales and then as people start hearing the record sales will slide off the charts into obscurity. It's been going on for close to 20 years. The last solid and consistent Prince record was 1988's Lovesexy....
The covers that were HOT were:
Dirty Mind
Controversy
1999
Purple Rain
Around The World In A Day
Parade
Sign O The Times
Lovesexy
Black Album(the concept was brilliant and mysterious. At the end of the day it's about design and believe it or not the Black Album was a great concept)

Interesting

the pyrimid looks just like the BioGenesis tool I use ...

I wonder if P uses the BioGenesis tools

for fuck's sake

i think it looks exactly the way a person would expect a prince album to look, for better or for worse.
