Sussossus Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 How awesome would it be if they had an album cover that just had a band photo on the front? I don't personally like the idea. I have to say, if it ever happened, you'd KNOW it was their final album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Necromancer_77 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 i think it'd be pretty cool....unless it was their final album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Nah, pictures of the band belong somewhere in the sleeve. And I wouldn't want their chain of illustrated album covers to be broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Kenneth on this. Keep the cover illustrations going! They're very good, even Hold Your Fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flight YYZ Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 How about a cover like this: http://www.theseats.com/contentimages/Rush-3669680.jpg I don't know. Rush is like Iron Maiden, Yes, Genesis and Pink Floyd in this regard. They project an abstract image of the band to conceal their personalities. They're not Duran Duran or Ace of Base. It probably wouldn't work. Not like this: http://www.khanada.net/duranduran.jpg (another great group of guys) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionDetector Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 QUOTE (Sussossus @ Aug 15 2010, 02:36 AM) How awesome would it be if they had an album cover that just had a band photo on the front? Please no...album art is pretty important in my eyes, and I've always found albums with just band members on the front to be very bland IMO. So yeah, it would NOT be awesome whatsoever.

friendlyvoice Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Bland pics of the artist on the album cover are one of the many things that make country music suck. Is there such a thing as actual cover art for a country album? I've never seen it. I think maybe the country music industry is afraid fans won't figure it out if the name AND the photo aren't there. Rush always has great cover art...no need to see their mugs staring out at us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solarcaravan Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I'm good with their artistic style of album covers. I'd have them in a gallery like the Retrospective 3 cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
