It's the cover of the promo discs sent out... So it seems obvious that this is the cover, and well since all of the covers of his releases of the last 10 years have been total crap it's not so surprising crap like this could be the cover...

"Treeology", the new album by Prince. The background is really stupid.

So that's what all that squiggly crap in the background was - branches.


Okay, so that makes no sense.

that better not be it! no no no! that's the same pic of him that's on the wall in the backstage pass room on the npgmc site, but on a different background. My daughter could'a done better with Elmo's PaintShop Pro.

Is the Rainbow Children cover not one of his best. I rank it right up there with Sign O the times, Purple Rain, Around the World 1999, and Parade.

It's certainly a planet-sized amount better than this cover.

What's you top three album covers?

1. the Rainbow Children/Diamondsd and Pearls
2. Around the World in a Day
3. Most Beautiful Girl in the World ep

If that is the Musicology single cover, Prince needs to borrow my glasses because it looks horrible to me.

This is exactly why they discontinued TypeStyler ten years ago.

The Black Album has a better cover than Musicology, I'm afraid.

Let's hope that he repents one way or another... is this picture somehow confirmed by the picture of him holding
the disc in the car? If he plans on giving a CD with this cover to everybody, it better have decent artwork.

'Honey look, I went to the concert, got this nice looking CD, I really wonder what's on it.'

On the other hand, this is the portrait-picture he has been pimpin' in recent times, so he must like it very much. I think
it is too underlit to be the cover for this CD. In recent years, he had some nice artwork --- 'The rainbow children' comes
to mind first, but 'Xpectation' had nice artwork, 'Rave un2 the joy fantastic' wasn't that bad and I liked the portrait
drawing on 'New Power soul'.

This is even worse than Emancipation, but hey, it's ultimately about the music. I am sure a good fan will make decent artwork!

cool

I can assure you all, that is not the cover, you've all been had..

the album cover is that picture of him with a white background, the one on the posters...

that cover may be the promo cover for the single, but i doubt that too.

Anxiety

I know we've been subjected to some pretty chintzy album cover art in the past few years, but this thing has GOT to be a fake. I mean, there's no way this could be the visual representation of all the slick comeback work he's been doing so far this year. I'm sure the portrait of Prince is going to be the main element on the album cover, but all they've gotta do is leave the white background and add the title in a simple, tasteful font. That background and Word Art is hideous. It reeks of amateur Photoshop noodling. Yuck. Gross. Hate it. I pray it's a fake.

From what I hear, the album is supposed to be released with a series of different album covers, in the spirit of Beck and Tori Amos.

Here's another one I came accross...

Here we go….wheee! nuts First the single now the cover.

That can’t be the cover. no no no! Where was this found? Isn’t the cover just his face on a white background? Isn’t there a picture of him sleeping with it? And wasn’t it held up on Ellen (by the DJ) or something? Not saying that it can't be...but it really looks like a fake.

But then again Crystal Ball Artwork anyone? feeling ill That was insulting.

While it's not the best photo job I've seen on the org, that's gotta be the funniest damn fake cover I've seen yet. F**kin' brilliant!

I really hope this isn't the cover. It's dark and somber -- something I never would have associated with "Musicology" or his recent mood. It doesn't seem like the kind of image that would entice a buyer to pick it up.

Peace, David

Isn't there a chance the cover will just be the black turntable image from the video/NPGMC opening page?
