Mangini always looks like he's trying his best not to smile at all, but he never succeeds completely :lol

Is it just me, or does James' hair look way thicker than it did last tour? He looks like he may have gotten a hair transplant or something. Not that I'd judge him for it. In fact, the kind of money that DT makes, I'm sure they could afford stuff like that, and it would be beneficial career wise.

Probably more likely photoshop or he dyed his hair again, cause I think he's getting a lot of grey hair now and it makes him look like he's losing hair but he's actually not?

His hair's been going grey since the 90's, I think. I remember on 5YIALT, there's a part where JLB has a bit of a goatee, and it was quite grey.

But no, his hair was way thinner than it looks in the photo. It could be photoshop, I guess. Either way, it looks a lot fuller than it was last year. Or even as far back as the Chaos In Motion DVD.

They've all been cooped up too long. 4/5 of the band is glowing.

Meanwhile, Myung is still the zen master. :zydar:

I really like it. It's intriguing. Especially the fact that the TV is unplugged yet on.

This has to be somehow intentional :D

Maybe every page of the artwork is a reworking/deconstruction of one past album cover?
