The last Static-X album was the same way:
Crap. A two-second overlay:
Some designers suck. And you know Metallica paid a lot of money for that design. Pffft!

You just have to have the right eye for it, I think. Some people can be great, like Mattias Noren; but did he ever realize that he designed about 30 CDs in the same exact style and colors?
I'm not saying I'm amazing or anything, because I'm clearly very uneducated in design software, but I think I have a decent eye for that sort of thing.
I still have that Wacom board (hint, hint, nudge, nudge, reach around).

| | Pardon me for saying so, but upon first glance, it looks like a hairy vagina. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. |

That was my first thought too. So at least I'm not the only perv around here. 
Actually, a good three quarters of the comments under that pic on Blabbermouth said the same thing... "it looks like a P**sy!" At first I felt better knowing that I wasn't the only one who thought that way, but then again, I hate thinking that my brain functions on the same sub-level as the average Blabbermouth posting doofus.

Why do a lot of these threads end up going into the dumps?  |

| That sucks as much as the music inside will. You go from the covers for RTL, MOP, AJFA, and even the black album, to this?

i thought all of those covers sucked too. infact, they've never had a good album cover. especially when compared to Slayer or Megadeth.

| MOP is ome of the best covers ever, imo.
Even though you don't like them, I'm betting you think they are better than this one.

| | That is one of the lamest covers ever. This is even worse than the last album. If they paid more than 20 cents for that art, then they got ripped off! I could have drawn a stick figure for them if they wanted to get this bad. |

| So did anyone pre-order that box thing they are offering at Nuclear Blast? 114 Eros plus, I think. First you get the box, and on the date of the release of the album, you get that too. You have to pay for postage txice!!

| | Quote: | | For you collector types out there we just had to put together something next level when the new record comes out in the Fall . . . how about "Death Magnetic" in a coffin box? The special edition box will come out the same day the album does (we'll tell you when that is soon . . . very soon) and will of course include the full CD (duh!), along with everything next level cool relating to "Death Magnetic!" Seriously, there will be a CD with the demos of the songs, a DVD of even more "making of the album" footage not seen on Mission: Metallica, a t-shirt only available in this box, a flag, guitar picks, and a fold out poster along with a collector's credit card embossed with a code to redeem a free download of a special European show happening in September (yes, details coming soon!). |
