FeelingUnlimited Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Wish they'd picked this as the album cover, it's gorgeous. Add some clock hands to it and it's perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I would have rejected the red one altogether, even as a booklet page... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMCXII Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 It's an awesome image but not good for an album cover, it has too much detail. For a vinyl record it'd be perfect but I think a more simple design would be way more effective on a 5" CD cover in my opinion. Geddy actually wanted to use this for the cover but I talked him out of it a couple weeks ago... I think Neil is mad at me now over it but I don't care...

USB Connector Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Two things baffle me about this single: 1) They release the song on radio on the 19th/20th but hold off on making it available to the public 4-5 days later. Why? In today's day and age people will just wind up pirating it. There have been studies done with movies that show that when movies have staggered releases (IE available in on place but not another), there is a massive increase in piracy for that movie in the place that doesn't have it. IMO, you could take this data to say "If it's available, but not to everyone, then there will be piracy". 2) That cover is beautiful. The first comment nailed it. Swap out the word Headlong Flight for Clockwork Angels and maybe throw in the clock hands and you have the most awesome Rush album art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I might have against it is it might be a little bit too National Geographic for an album cover, but that's nit picking, it owns the red mist art...

Alexmai Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) The cover mirrors the album cover... the whirlwind on red, the whirlwater on blue... something comes out of the red and into the blue, or viceversa... The light from the water to the sky points to a blue whirlwind... Edited April 16, 2012 by Alexmai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swap out the word Headlong Flight for Clockwork Angels and maybe throw in the clock hands and you have the most awesome Rush album art. I agree and I was thinking the same thing. I'm going to download HF on the 19th.. I will pay for it on the 24th but if it's out I'm not waiting 5 extra days. I think they are hoping everyone will still buy it because according to RIAB, the one released on the 19th is a radio cut and the one put on sale on the 24th will be the full 7:20 version. Still.. why not just release it all at the same time..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
