We fans are going to make connections to older work anyways. Like, "Oh, hey, that font is similar to the one on Naveed!" Or, "Hey, isn't that close to the same shade as on Gravity?" Etc.

Escape Artist works so much better with the cover art too, though!
Unless maybe they aren't putting that song on the album anymore? That would make sense.

sorry for posting this in two threads
I was thinking about this as soon as I saw the dude on the cover that it is pretty much Ray Kurzweil

I also like the Dali-esque addition of the magnifying glass

Well I didn't say he looked like Sol, physically. He's just like our new era Sol. For me, I'd prefer not have the real Sol on this cover, because OLP's music is different now and it wouldn't be appropriate to have him on it IMO.

Oh god, I hope he's not new-era Sol. I can't handle 5 album covers featuring creepy man.

Yeah, I'd like to see this new creep (lol) be on their next few CDs. I'm comfortable with him being the "new era Sol".
