Alternative Wildest Dreams Cover

[The_Prisoner]

Now why couldn't the album cover art be more in this vein?

Why is there a car coming out of his mouth?

 

[The_Prisoner]

There is reference to driving a car in Wildest Dreams, but as to why out of the mouth - who knows? But it's looks 1000% better than the original art for WD and the album artwork.

Is that the German version? Cool. Euro alternative covers are usually better than the originals.
Unless they're for Dungeon albums.

I like the new Dungeon cover

I have no problem with a car coming out of his mouth. After all, this is the band that had a picture of Eddie in a bar with a bunch of aliens on the cover of a single about a guy stranded in the Antarctic (or wherever it was).

I like the new Dungeon cover !

Me too The Eddie style metal monster in a dungeon looks way cooler than the Aussie cover I reckon! I don't like 3D computer art much. Gimme a cool painted cover anyday, especially if it has a cool metal mascot on it!

Bleh! I think the new cover makes them look like a lame-ass Maiden rip off. As Tim himself said: "It looks like Eddie from Iron Maiden's older gym-junkie brother that's had sex with a Manowar person."

I like the computer generated one actually! But the LMP one looks awesome as well, it would stand out on a store shelf and I just think its a great piece of art, whether he bonks Manowars mascot or not

I agree with Gore.

Further, an album's cover art can have an almost subliminal effect on the listener, even before they've listened to the music within. I've read reviews (and maybe done a few myself) where the critic has obviously let an album's artwork influence his/her opinion on the music, so they'll make a judgement on it without even really listening to it. I just worry this will happen with Dungeon with that bodgy Eddie-style cover art. People will just assume they're ripping off Maiden and that's it, and anyone who's heard the album will know that there is clearly a lot more than that going on. They could have done much better with a cover for their international debut than a cartoon. I'm not even a big fan of the cover of the forthcoming Black Majesty album, and that's a much better looking design.
