I guess we could ask George Chin, he's pretty great at picture taking but I like it. Title: Re: RS.com: Readers' Rock List: Best Album Covers of 2008 Post by: falungong69 on December 09, 2008, 11:58:58 AM good publicity! hopefully some people will be willing to buy it just off the amazing album cover. when you see it, it's very arresting. your'e like wtf, is that just a picture of a bike? you keep looking at it, expecting to see more. and wondering what's in the basket. that's the genius of it! it keeps you wondering.

No, top 16! ::) Are you upset that people like it? Must be so weird that people like the cover enough to vote for it and that not everybody hate everything about the album...... /jarmo Title: Re: RS.com: Readers' Rock List: Best Album Covers of 2008 Post by: Silverchair on December 09, 2008, 06:39:46 PM since my opinion was deleted... (just in case it was done in accident)
the cover sucks. sorry... i have an opinion. point i was trying to make is that the album cover to me isn't thought out. the red star is beautiful. it's very surprising it's part of top covers. cheers if you like it... or even understand it. i just think it's amature at best... cheap cover. not very thought out. it's like the spaghetti incident cover... lame.

That is so constructive! Congratulations! You're also trying to steer this topic into something it's not supposed to be. That's why your post was removed. But I guess that makes no sense to you. Because if it would, you wouldn't be here posting that. /jarmo |
