When it originally came out, it looked like (A):



But the one they rolled out for the final product was (B):



I've always liked the one without the red font. I don't know, it just looks cooler in that form.

Wellllll if they made the font on the top one red instead of green it would have been better than the bottom one.  Don't know why the heck they'd put green there.

Also if the top one had the detail brought out like the bottom one, and maintained the details of the clouds like the bottom one does not, it'd be cooler.

"A" feels simpler and the "Dream Theater - Systematic Chaos" thing stands out less. I really like the green font, I think it blends in more.

C - The traffic light
Yes of course how could I forget about that... Absolutely the traffic light.

BRGM

Yeah, The traffic light with the orange sky in the background, the double disc thingy with the DVD, I really like that artwork, so clean and tidy.

I voted for B, but the Traffic Light was my favorite.

I don't like either of them. To computer generated, I hope they don't have anymore art like that.

Traffic light too. Speaking of the traffic light cover, can it possibly have a connection with the traffic light scene from the hollow years video? they are pretty similar, except that the cover is flipped horizontally, both have the green lights lit.

Speaking of The Pumpkin King, does anyone remember the full working tracklist with the tentative titles?

SystematicThought

Forsaken= Jet Lag
Constant Motion= Korma Chameleon
The Dark Eternal Night= NADS
Repentance=Fisheye
Prophets of War= Carpet Babies
The Ministry of Lost Souls= Schindler's Lisp
In The Presence of Enemies= The Pumpkin King

You know, at the time they changed it I was a little disappointed, because I preferred the old font over the more plain red one. But now that I'm used to the final cover, I'm not so sure. The font pops out more in the red. I think I'm going with B.

Thanks for this. SCHINDLER'S LISP, I was trying to remember why I knew that parodying title but I wasn't sure where from.

This one's pretty cool too: https://images.coveralia.com/audio/d/Dream_Theater-Systematic_Chaos_%28Special_Edition%29-Interior_Frontal.jpg

My favorite would be the traffic light though.
Yeah, this is the one I own, and it's pretty cool.  :) All fine pieces of cover art, though.
