The Fly
I know I should post this on the thread about the guy who made them but that would be rude because of what I'm going to say. I should also post this in EYKIW but it's more about the looks of the band than the design in general but that goes along with it too. What I'm going to say is
I don't really like any of the album cover designs, inside or out!
Okay don't hurt me!! Here's the way I see them then tell me yours!
Boy- the one I have is only lame pencil drawings. Boo. Boring.
October- even though I know they were cute then that is an awful pic of all of them except maybe Larry. Ouch.
War- Not much of a picture and Bono's mouth looks like a duck.
UF- Good idea with the castle but they're out of focus and it doesn't look like Bono.
JT- Again good idea but not the best view of the boys. They look bedraggled and homeless and sweaty, not to mention out of focus.
AB- Cool idea, but some of the imagery, what's up with that? Some of the pics are good but some, ehh.
Zooropa- What, no band members? Looks like some 3 year old drew it with dull crayons. Boo.
POP- honestly this one scares me. It's like a bad LSD trip. The ones inside are even creepier, Bono looking like Lenin, all mean and snarly. Adam really freaks me out. What's up with Edge?
ATYCLB- again, out of focus. Don't these guys want to be seen as they really are? The pics inside are worthless, so big, but smeared and blurry and black and white!
What I'm saying about the covers has nothing to do with the music inside, or the way the band members really look. It's the way it was done and the way it was presented. I don't know why, but I don't like it. Will anyone else confess to not liking one or more of the cover arts?
If I had to choose a fave it would probably be Rattle and Hum because the thing with Bono shining the light on Edge is very cool, but you can't really see them.
