I Came in Through the Bathroom Window wrote: I like the photo, but I think this is an ordinary cover. However, considering Travis' covers are always very original, a portrait seems unsual anyway. And it does go on well with the fact that this is a solo album... I'm not too thrilled about it, but it's the content that matters. ;o)
I was surprised at first too. Usually, I'm not a big fan of portraits as album covers, but I like this one. As Fran said, it's all about wrecking the order and doing things differently on this album, so in a way it makes sense! :D |

| I think he wants it to be something separate than Travis. He admits the music is the same as Travis, so i think he's pushing the "solo" thing by just having his face on the cover. I quite like it. I like the font, and it's a nice photo, though i'm really not sure on the beard. It just makes me feel itchy. lol |

Great shot telling so much when looking into the eyes. Hope, experience, excitement... Colors, I love the colors.
But I've to tell Fran looks best with shorter hair. |

You've summed it up nicely. But I think his hair suits him either way lol.
I like that there's a hint of a smile. :) And that the letters are across the picture. You don't see that often. |

Exactly. You know, like the Avant Garde font becoming hype with the Travis logo; something tells "w r e c k o r d e r" spelling will make it big soon too. :-) |

| I have to say, he's looking pretty old for his age these days! It's not a bad cover, it's a solo album after all. |

Well, Robbie Williams is only one year younger (and by recent photos looks it), even though he's surely been using more substances than Fran (my guess). I suppose that Fran enjoys looking older and distinguished and is not too much worried by some gray hairs.
I like the cover, it invites you to take him seriously. |

You're so right! How would Mr. Williams look like with grey, curly hair??? *ggg**

I agree! The cover is very pure, he's got nothing to hide, looking straight into the beholder's eyes. Love it! |
