ADToE Cover - What's your opinion?

[fadetoblackdude7]

I like it, it's very interesting. A nice break from the last 2 albums, and it's what I wanted: Open, colorful, and not cluttered. Kinda like Octavarium.

[Scooterfruit]

It's definitely grown on me. It's not their best but it's not horrible either.

[Nekov]

A small bit of consolation for anyone that doesn't like it: hey, nothing could be worse than WDADU's cover.

Haha, my thoughts exactly

[FretMuppet]

I like it a lot

Fuck y'all, I love it. It's very "A Change of Seasons" feeling.

[hacko]

I like the concept, but it does feel a bit like some people here posted better quality stuff.

Also, no nuggets!

I always liked the WDADU cover.
This is piss-poor though. It's not very metal and certainly not very Roadrunner. It's very 70s prog.
I agree the fan-made covers are better.
I initially thought it was a single cover and maybe it is,, but it fits with the album title as well as this track.

[Dr. DTVT]

I don't mind the lack of nuggets, I like the brightness of it...but the execution of it just isn't there.  Like someone said, it looks like low-end fan art.  That, and between the Supertramp and Circus Maximus covers...it just feels wrong.

Mad props though if that's an intentional Airplane! riff though.

[chrisbDTM]

It's not very metal and certainly not very Roadrunner. It's very 70s prog.

this is why alot of people like it

everything doesnt need to be 'metal'

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

Couldn't care less, as long as the music is great.

[Lowdz]

but it will be marketted at the Metal market. At least if they want to sell any.

[smerfak]

But is it really official cover?
I don't like it much, even though it reminds me of ACOS cover which is one of my favorites. I don't know, something is missing there to me.

Anyway

Couldn't care less, as long as the music is great.

[chrisbDTM]

the ultimate nugget would be to have an older version of the I&W girl balancing on the rope with the picture frame still in her hand. i'd love that

Nugget: The Full Airplane has all the different symbols that have characterized each one of DT's albums (Burning Heart, Awake's Mirror, ToT's eye...)

[MetropolisxPt1]

The cover art does fit the titles.

[olliemedsy]

I don't know why some people think it is art for the single. If it was for the single it would say, On the backs of angels instead of A dramtic turn of events

[Kosmo]

Yeah, thought about this too.

[Dublagent66]

Well, at least it'll be consistent with the title.  Let's hope the music saves it from itself.

[rumborak]

The cover is pretty bad. In combination with the title, yeah, errm.

[Orion1967]

A picture is worth a thousand words so I offer:

[Orion1967]

...additionally I thought that some of the DTF people made 1000% better cover art.

I liked the one with the nuke reactors and the front end loader bucket in the foreground

[wilgod3p]

simple cover= good album

[FlyingBIZKIT]

simple cover= good album

[The Ugliest Unicorn]

Reminds me of Take That's 'Circus' album art and Mcdonald's mascot Ronald Mcdonald. Not a fan in other words.

[robwebster]

Like the sky, like the minimalism, love the deep blue, don't like the clown, Majesty logo looks photoshopped on - and of course it was photoshopped, but it looks it. Don't like the tightrope hanging in mid-air. Very Syme. Very silly.

Not too enchanted with Hugh Syme as late. His style's a little too "Look at me, I'm a metaphor!" It's clever, but its laid on with a trowel. It's perfectly serviceable, and there's plenty of cool stuff - the colour scheme in particular - but it's a little bit "blah."

If I'm honest, it looks like a magazine advert. Like it should be selling you timeshare.

[IdoSC]

I tend to appreciate it when bands like DT don't use dark themes and colors in their album covers.

Design-wise, it looks pretty good to me.

[lonestar]

If I was concerned about covers, I would have never listened to I&W.

The cover is pretty bad. In combination with the title, yeah, errm.

rumborak

Should have been a pic of a broken condom.

[Mebert78]

I actually kinda like it.  But I would think Roadrunner would have announced they are revealing the cover art if this was the cover art.  So I'm not sure.  However, I don't get why the plane isn't a little blurry.  If it's flying in the air, it would be going extremely fast and would be a blur.  The way it is now, it looks like it's sitting in the clouds.  

I also think it would be cooler if it was something instead of a clown, like... an angel maybe?  Or a child?

[pogoowner]

I don't like it at all. But they've never had good album covers.

[wolfking]

I think it's a fine cover, very refreshing.

[Mebert78]

Here's an idea.  Maybe it's artwork from the inside of the album or the back cover.  I gotta think they would announce it's the cover art if that's what it was.

[Super Dude]

Anything is better than that I&W/Awake/BC&SL-style shit.

[Mr. Beale]

The colors are refreshing, but it looks a little too simple for a DT cover, and the unicyclist seems kind of stereotypically prog, maybe I just have Circus Maximus on the brain. I wouldn't say it's bad though.

[sonatafanica]

the cover is so bad that it made me laugh when i saw it 


the song was okay though.

[chrisbDTM]

in the grand scheme of things, does it really matter what the cover looks like?

cover =/= music
