wave I guess I can see why people dislike it, but I loved the cover from the moment I saw it. Nothing wrong with it in in my opinion.

Is it the lightning or the background that make so many ridicule it?

Terrible cover!

The picture of P is good, but the background and typography are crap.
However, the inside of the booklet that comes with the album is really good.
Why wasn't the cover up to the same standard and in the same style?

(Plus, that picture works so much better with a dark background,
or a plain white one)

Don't you think it looks so much better with a dark background,
like in the booklet?

the picture in the booklet, opposite the lyrics for "a million days"
is far better imo and would have made for a nice cover.

the cover as it is, always reminds me of a fanmade fake/tribute to
his "hits/bsides" boxset, which was an iconic cover. this one is a
bit luke warm and so-so.

i agree with you though, that the inside booklet is very nice nod

Prince has not released an album with an interesting or astethically pleasing cover since Lovesexy in 1988. Everything since then, especially the last 10 years, look like they were knocked up on photoshop in 20 minutes.

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Watch it. Soon somebody will say something like: "Dontcha think that's the whole point of it? Inner beauty and stuff".

But it IS a nice picture of Prince ... but rather ..ermphp... background.

Even the Diamonds and Pearls holographic cover, or the beautiful illustrations of the Rainbow Children?

I thought Planet Earth had great packaging, didn't quite match the quality of music, unfortunately!

I'm not sure if the Musicology cover even made it as far as Photoshop. The title looks like it was done in frikkin' Word Art:

I don't like it. I like the picture of Prince in some way. Hair-do is nice. Background looks so cheap. The font is just eewh! sad What were they thinking?
Like the pictures and the lay-out inside better though.

D&P Holographic cover was just novelty packaging that damages easily. Rainbow children was a preconceived work of art used for the cover, it had nothing to do with the music on the disc. But I admit it was a cover that at the very least gave you something to look at for more that 10 seconds..

It's okay. I don't like the branches or the font. I like 3121 better.
