Completely like a still from The VH "Right Now" video.


Oh, and on the subject of CO's album cover, and really all of rock...can we please lose the ironic nature of everything. You know it used to be funny to have an odd cover, or wear a Journey shirt, but now its just sad and old.

I'm going to have to think about this. From the indie-rock set there are always loads of hideous art-school student retard album art to choose from.


Not from this year but a good example of what I'm talking about is:

Fucking horrible but well, so is their music.

I hadn't seen this yet. This is possibly the worst album cover I've ever seen. The fact that it's called "Surprise" only makes it worse.

I like it quite a bit, just like the album itself.

I would never buy this album based on its cover. I would never listen to it based on the presumption that it sucks:

That is simultaneously the best (left side) and worst (right side) album cover of 2006. That dude REALLY outpunted his coverage!!!

The fact that I have to stare at a huge illuminated version of this cover at work all day (Barnes & Noble) only strengthens the support for this argument in my mind. The album itself, which I have to listen to 3 or 4 times a day, is not so good.

the photos in the paul simon cd's booklet are pretty cool and go along with the songs really well. but yeah the cover is awful.

anyway the worst is probably The Knife's "Silent Shout"
