The flaws in octavarium's album art.

[Lucien]

The best part is when you look on the back cover, it shows the band members faces on different keys of a piano, and James... is on F#.

NO JOKE

[ZirconBlue]

But first i have to say that i dont understand why two balls are in the air, just 1 sould be to work 

Depends on what you mean by "work".  Newton's Cradles are use to demonstrate conservation of momentum, and you can see different aspects of this by lifting and dropping different numbers of balls.  Lifting one on each end and dropping them at the same time yields an interesting result.

That album cover stands in stark contrast to the music on it. It looks like highschool project.

Dear God in heaven, not this again.

Well i can never see the cover normally again... Thanks

Are you saying, your Octavarium booklet will never be open again...?

[darkshade]

Simple answer.  I could care less.

WARNING: Someone will comment on this slip

I think it's OK, because he CAN care less.

Now if he said he couldn't care less, then it'd be different.

Probably the ugliest DT album cover of all. I'd rather look at the hairy armpit of the WDADU guy.

Could have been worse. The swinging balls could have been hairy

Or there could be a frigging unicycle.

^ This. I understand where people are coming from complaining about it and pointing it out. I really do. And yes they are correct I suppose. But in reality, way to be a cliche prog fans. Way to be.

Don't group everyone together or anything, or even read explanations given. As I have already said in here, it just is uncomfortable to look at, and is not some deduced complaint. So it isn't for you, great, but your senses/tendencies/quirks aren't the same as everyone elses.

This. It's still one of the best DT album covers.

I think they could have done without the black bar. Otherwise it's a perfectly fine album cover. Not taking the minor flaws into account of course.

I don't mind the black bar to offset the lightness a bit, although doing it for two album covers in a row was a bit lame. Aside from that, I think it's one of their better album covers. There's not an awful lot of competition there.

Yeah, maybe. I havent thought about the eventual flaws, I like the cover as is it anyway.

More like someone doesn't get it... Last time I checked, "liu" and "dream" do not rhyme...

What a Liuser

Liu doesn't rhyme with Fatal either?
