Tommy Sawyer Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) On Wikipedia it says that this is the album cover. Is this true? http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h411/tklos/Other%20Rush%20related%20pictures/Clockwork-angels_cover.jpg That was the Caravan single cover but is this the actual album cover?

I think this was just a promotional picture when news of the album came out. The only difference between this cover and the 'Caravan' single cover is the titles on each. I would venture to guess that this might be the cover, but who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I doubt its the actual cover because the lyrics for Caravan are written in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbirdsong Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 When you hear the differences in the studio and live versions of the songs I'm not sure if the current versions or the picture will survive once they get in the studio and get back to work. Wouldn't that be cool if they re-recorded both songs in light of how they went live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 It looks like something that would be on the inside jacket of one of their albums...but not the album cover itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. There is no doubt that the album cover will be different. I hope Hugh Syme is working on it right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trenken Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Why would they release a cover with the album title on it, for it to not end up being the cover? I'm pretty sure that's the cover. Ive never seen a band in my life say "Hey here's the cover to our new album. Woops, nevermind this isn't it". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you look at it every time you pick up the CD, so you want something nice to look at. That's my rationale anyways.

greg2112 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I really hope that the new "look" for CW, stage show and especially album cover, isnt a repeat of what we saw on the TM tour. Part of the excitement of a new release and tour is seeing what they come up with. (though the S/A cover was dreadful....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 No way that's the actual cover. I did say the same thing about S&A though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I'm fine if they wanna make that the album cover. But i've got a feeling it'll be something else, though I think the general theme will stay the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This X 1,000 I personally hope the cover is something a little different. At the minimum it's way too reminiscent of the single that I mostly didn't like and was hoping for something different that would give the album a somewhat different identity, but in the end if the music is awesome I don't care what the cover looks like. If the music sucks, the best cover in the world won't make it the tiniest bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StellarJetman Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) I really don't think that this is the "real" cover. Bands often release singles with different covers from their albums, and this one has been around for quite a while. I'd be surprised if they didn't roll out a new one for the album proper.

drbirdsong Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 It's just what we have for now. I doubt big time that it will be the final cover. I don't want to be the cynical one who says it doesn't matter, but after the latest tour who can say what the final cover art will be. Rush never did this before, I don't think. You know, the thing where they record a couple of songs and then go on tour and then think about what they want to do with them and then make a different album with new versions of those songs. The Rolling Stones made Honkey Tonk Women and then Country Honk. If we get some sort of different version of that magnitude then who knows how Clockwork Angels may turn out. There are big things in store or maybe just possible. I'm looking forward to all of it... music, art, tour. Yeah, bring it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
