CA Cover Art - Face In The Clouds

Recommended Posts

I've read a number of posts saying that the CA cover is sort of boring or that it reminds them of the "Hold Your Fire" cover.

 

I think it's pretty cool and I think there's maybe more to it when you look harder at it. (It helps if you're smokin' a little somethin' too.)

 

Is it just me or is there a face in that swirl of clouds on the cover of CA?

 

Angels make you think of Heaven, of course. But that cover is red, which makes you think of demons and devils. The face I'm seeing in there seems like a twisted demonic face, which - if it's really supposed to be there - is pretty cool in the way it's looking down from the blood red sky and clouds.

 

Maybe it's that loving Watchmaker, loving us all to death?

 

I'm not good at this sort of thing, but I've marked out the face I'm seeing. There's a right eye (or eye-less blacked-out eye socket), a nose and a wickedly smiling mouth.

 

If you look close, there are even teeth in that mouth. I didn't mark it out, but you can also see the right side of the face too. The left side of the face, including the left eye, is lost in the swirl effect.

 

Now, when you look at what I've marked out, it looks silly. Scroll down and look at the album cover without my markings and see if you see what I think I'm seeing.

 

And yes, I know the thing about psychiatrists saying that humans like to try and see faces in everything. I guess I'm just being human.

 

I suppose it's open to one's own interpretation.

 

Thanks to the person who posted the cover and the photo of the guys.

Now look at the unmarked version and see if you see what I see.

I see the wicked eye and the mouth with teeth.

 

It's a satanic jack-o-lantern!

 

Rush does worship SATAN!!!

Obviously, the entire image is that of the Universe's cosmic background radiation, which The Watchmaker left behind to befuddle us puny Earthlings......

Only because it's RED! z7shysterical.gif

 

Other than that, I expect the album itself to be nothing like HYF.

 

And this is a very good thing. yes.gif

I find the picture of the three of them on that fancy assed couch a lot more shocking.

 

If you project where each of their six eyeballs are looking and connect those points, it clearly forms an upside-down trident. WTF does that mean?!
