ThatLightInYourEyes Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 What's that they say about books and their covers? Oh well, I'll read this thing anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 It's not that bad. In fact I think it's ok. I suppose they don't like the scrawny, spotty youth. I see colours first though and I like the green/grey combination and the brown wood of the floor. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 I like the album (and it was my first tour), but I never thought it was one of their best ones. The character in the picture is not anything nice to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The character in the picture is not anything nice to look at. The character isn't supposed to be pretty, I don't think. The picture is supposed to be a bleak statement on modern life, and the metaphor of the remote against the world outside was apparently lost on whoever made this list. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamie Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Speaking of that album cover, one time I was wearing my Power Windows shirt at school and my friend asked me what that guy is looking out the window for and my other friend said "a better haircut." I guess his hair is the worst part of the whole cover, but it's really not bad. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMCXII Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Slideshow. The #1 way to turn 1 page of content into 25 clicks. I didn't even bother. I'm sure they missed all the power windows puns in the cover art though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also using the remote to open the window. It's a powered window. The TVs are another form of power windows 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 I understand the concept behind the album cover on Power Windows, but why does the character look like that necessarily. I thought the back cover would have made the better front cover. I have the front cover Power Windows tshirt someplace. Too small for me to wear now though. Oh, and the Hold Your Fire cover I think is good. I think it's more about the brilliant red cover than the imagery. With imagery on it, it would have been too much to look at. The red makes up for it and was very eye catching amongst all the other albums in the bin at the store. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutlefan Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Seems a stretch to put PoW among the worst album covers of all time, but I've always thought it the worst Rush cover easily. Hated the weird Howard Jones teen from the beginning (and I did think of Howard Jones immediately, who was kind of big at the time). I thought, "Am I supposed to identify with this dork?" I didn't want to so didn't buy the album. Rush survived nevertheless . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutlefan Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 http://i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/article/9/2/9/22929.jpg This guy looks like the inspiration for (Ron Burgundy's) Brian Fantana. Classic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
