Album Cover Discussion

This has been discussed all over the place. Place your thoughts here.

I think it's simplisticly wonderful. Nature, Gravity, Rollercoasters. What more could you want? :lol:

I really love the almost purposly redundant black background under the see-through case (under the CD). It just fits so perfectly for the simplicity.

I wanted Sol to be on the cover

Yeah, so did I. Then again, he is like 80-90 years old...

Plus, this whole album is about new things. New sound, new guitarist (not exactly planned), etc...

I think it's lovely, but they should put the band members on and equal level, being as they're all equally important.

How about some goddamn colour?

True. But it's simpler this way.

Doesn't necessarily need more color....B&W is good.....it needs to be less narcissistic. (maybe thats too harsh)

And what about a non-boring font? This is the first time they've let us down in that respect. Naveed had the sanskrit, clumsy had the cool shifty ripped stuff, Happiness had the screwed-up typewriter look, and SM of course had Oli's unique scribble. So now we're opting for dull, pre-fab block letters? Fuckin sucks.

I don't like it .. it's boring and plain .. it's like a BSB cover *shudders* The album covers have always been creative and artistic and they claimed they didn't have enough time to put Sol on the cover and book him into a photo shoot .. they should have made time .. :nod:

I miss Sol

Why do you people care about Sol, again? What good is he? he's old. I hate all the olp covers except the 2 new ones. Bah, Sol, who cares? :wtf:

Axtech · Post by **Axtech** » 6/18/2002, 5:00 pm

By the way, Sol is on SM...

Yeah, but its like hidden in the bottom, its small. Bah. No biggie.
Now, what about him, why do ya'll like him?

Axtech · Post by **Axtech** » 6/18/2002, 5:28 pm

Sol being on album covers was just a tradition. It's was like our little thing, our little secret. (our being OLP fans) I mean, sure, someone might notice that there's an old guy on Naveed, Clumsy and Happiness, but we know who and why. It was just our little tradition, and now it's gone.

Corey · Post by **Corey** » 6/18/2002, 5:37 pm

I like the new font... not as much as naveed's and clumsy's though

barefeet · Post by **barefeet** » 6/18/2002, 5:54 pm

you can definately tell that they were pressed for time to make the cover. it's so bland. it just looks like a publicity photo there's no little doodad or anything. blech. :wtf:

Joey · Post by **Joey** » 6/18/2002, 7:14 pm

Agreed .. it's plain and looks fake

Sol is a very important part of Our Lady Peace .. they obviously thought so since they included him on all the covers until now .. I doubt they just see him as "some old guy" and I just think it would have been nice to have at least mentioned him that's all ..

barefeet · Post by **barefeet** » 6/18/2002, 7:53 pm

maybe it was part of their new look type thing. ya know? becomming more commericial. maybe sol scared the teeny boppers away.

Joey · Post by **Joey** » 6/18/2002, 8:14 pm

That's what worries me, I'm not very fond of their new look .. when a band starts changing their look to appeal to the boppers, it's usually downhill from there
