Not at all. I really like what we did with that one. It was a great day and memorable. I like that there's this American ruggedness with the presence of that beat-up relic- something nostalgic and familiar, but at the same time the image evokes a sense of mystery and slight uneasiness.

In fact-

The more I look at it,
The more I like it.
I do think it's good.
My comment was mostly in jest; I actually really like the way it turned out too.

Re: Top 10 Album Covers

I like Camel well enough (depending on the album), but somehow haven't listened to them in like... forever. I should do that.

I agree with that, even though I somehow didn't include any of them. You and Logan stole the best 2 KC covers I guess. :p

Re: Top 10 Album Covers

Yes had some pretty good album covers generally, so I knew I was including one of them. I would have considered Relayer, but I like the simplicity of CTTE the most for some reason.

I did have trouble with Relayer for a while, so that's understandable. It definitely grew on me over time; if I had only listened to it the first time or two, it'd still be a 2 or 3-star recording at best for me.

I love that album. :D

But I like CTTE and TFTO more.
