I think the record company changed it for final pressings, but Neil Peart's original concept for the cover was based on the famous (or infamous) butcher block cover of the Beatles' Yesterday and Today cover...

The original variation of it had each band member holding a severed head of a famous rock critic...

 

Geddy was holding the disembodied (fake) head of Jann Wenner, Alex, Robert Christgau's. and Geddy, Jon Landau's.

Hilarious.

What is hilarious is that the Scorpions have TWO on that list

Should have included this one!

Greatest album cover of all time. And funnily enough, it did not increase their female fanbase.

 

I mean they are living definitions of HAWTNESS.

 

Oh to be a woman, I'd be in like Flynn, so I would.

And I think it looks cool. Love the colors, the simplicity. Much cooler and way more thoughtful than most album covers out there these days.

I completely agree. I would hang this in my home in a heartbeat.

If it werent actually an album cover I would hang it up. Im not a big Coldplay fan, but I have some of their albums, including this one. If this were just a piece of abstract art, yeah I think it would look cool on a wall.
