The simplicity and the concept of the cover doesn't bother me, but there really is some amateurish Photoshop stuff going on, and that's surprising from Hugh Syme. Of course the cover doesn't really matter, but as far as covers go, it's pretty bad.

It might be good or it might be lazy... I have a feeling that once the album is released and we know the stories within the songs, we'll have a better grasp on the meaning behind the cover.

Its... OK. A return to a theme album.. perhaps a more interesting cover would have been called for. As goober said, some of the other art Ive seen looks more interesting. Its certainly nothing to think about. I actually enjoy simplicity, this is just a little bland.

40 f-ing poll options to choose from. Totally lost interest, so I'll just say what I've said before, I cannot stand covers that look digital, meaning it looks like a Photoshop cover. And it's just not the high concept stuff we're used to seeing from Hugh.

Found this on a Brazilian site. It purports to be album art for the new Rush album.

That looks like real effort and time went into it, unlike the real cover, but that looks more like art for a specific song, not a cover.

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE!!! trink39.gif laugh.gif bekloppt.gif

Butthole? That's best you could come up with? Oh well.... I voted for myself tongue.gif I like the swirly cloud but not as much as the other ones we've recently seen. Especially the one with the hands.

I was keeping the whole butt theme going from the previous options, like political speeches threes are good...

There's not a lot going on, but honestly I couldn't care less.

I'm not going to sit there staring at the cover, I'm going to listen to the first new Rush album in 5 years and judge that. They could have just used a massive picture of a Gefilter or something and it wouldn't have made any difference, it's all about the music for me. 1022.gif

That was their back-up 9th choice...

I hope you know Treeduck that it wasn't Hugh Syme who designed the cover...


... it actually was my butthole. confused13.gif

Now, there's an unfortunate image scorched into my brain.

I like the use of "scorched" there

Yeah, even if they were going for simplicity you'd have thought Syme could do better than that...

I keep telling you, if you see one of my polls just don't bother coming in the thread. You just type the same thing every time anyway. At least make it interesting mate...

Hopefully the red one turns out to be the slipcase cover...
