lol! the new cover is nothing like that one =P, queen was just in a different era hah (believe me, theres a site with all the ugliest covers you could never imagine)
edit: NVM, i found it... http://www.coverbrowser.com/covers/worst-album-covers
Oh! I've seen that site. haha! I don't think that Queen cover is ugly, just weird. I wasn't comparing it to Travis' either. Someone above just posted a freaky looking album cover so I posted one that scared me as a child. :) |

| Can you imagine if the EYE appears on the tour t-shirts and everyone wears them to the gigs - that'll look weird from the stage! |

Does J Smith have "Pink Eye"?
I think it's a great cover. They needed a different image to compliment their new style otherwise it's less effective |

When we flip the eye and it becomes a "look", for me J. Smith looks just sad.
Maybe it means this: Have a look at each other. Don't look away. J. Smith doesn't want to be anonym no longer. And: do you know the color of your neighbour's eyes? No? So, why should they not be pink? Have a look... |

I'm still sort of freaked out about this cover...
It's scary but it's catchy.
And... I think it's sort of pagan... It reminds me some sort of egypt stuff.
Maybe it's the shape of the eye... Maybe it's the colours...
I don't know, but I think it will be great...
I don't know about you, but I always remember simple covers with definite colours and a definite image.

I won't quote the image, but yeah...
Something like that, ricv64.
I've seen other pagan stuff like this and... I totally love it.
It seems a mix between that one and the Rah eye.
Don't know...
But I love it.

the eye makes me think of one of my favorite Roky Erickson songs , Burn the Flames
excerpted here,
And the eyes that stare
through the darkness
Though they have no form
There's no need for alarm
So burn, so burn
Burn the flames higher and higher
So burn, burn the flames
Never to expire
for those who don't know Roky , he was arrested for drugs pleaded temporary insanity and was sent to a mental institution where he recived electro shock therapy for a few years . Only in the past few years he's recovered
