At least there isn't a trio metaphor or a clock showing 9:12. Either way, I'm thinking Hugh Syme needs to start hanging out with Terry Brown. It might be time for some new art direction blood in the Rush camp.
I like the new art - This isn't 1977- they are marketing a "new" product and it appears they are trying to target the younger legions of fans. Go all out and get the comic book!
#33 I link the art you shared in your link!
#33 - i like it, and especially like the fact the star and the man are respectfully represented, since this is the crux of the album thematically. That's specifically what I DON'T like about the cover art for the 5.1 deluxe ed. Why was that left off?
33 - That's good artwork!
Hermy - How do you know its not envy that you had better seats than I did? Hmmmm?
#33 Nice!
#35. Good points. I used it for something else that I can't remember now where those words meant something....but as an album cover I concur; less is more.
Be afraid of messing with the classic--slink
you leave the door open for posers....
#33 - that is very nice. If they had opted to completely revisit the theme that would work well. I would probably leave out the sub title and sub text though.
Actually, I think this looks a bit better (better balance) link
My advice to fledgling designers - step away from the photoshop filters. Less is more.
