album cover FULL sized

[klappie]

for those in debate whether or not they like the album cover or not, I've put a full sized image up to see in it all its detail...

I'm sorry if it screws up the layout...

cheers!

 

[AussieU2fanman]

you're such a hardcore gangster Edge

 

[Herco]

thanks Klappie

 

[Earnie Shavers]

I bet everyone gives Bono grief for those shoes.

 

[youtwohearts]

I love it. I think they look great big shoes and all. I actually love they way Bono looks in this picture. Not that that is unusual but I think well he looks

 

[neutral]

thanks!

Edge's "Spectacular Times" shirt.

Edge's "Spectacular Times" shirt.

yeah... Edge has a certain level of 'hipness' for a tech geek, I believe it's a Steve Allen design, you get them in NY - saw 'em there couple of weeks a go...

This cover grows on me.

I remember a movie a while back ago - can't remember the title. The cover was very simple - very very simple, and it was said that this movie was so good that they didn't need a fancy cover. I begin to think this about this album. But actually ... know i quite like it. Simple and raw! Looks like a classic.

Bono always wears big shoes...remember the platform sandals from this summer, now those were some shoes!

 

[Roland of Gilead]

There have certainly been worse U2 album covers. I really like this one. I remember getting the Joshua Tree and thinking that was a terrible cover. Of course it grew on me over time and then it became my favorite album cover of all time. It never hurt that the album, itself, was a masterpiece.

If the Bomb is a masterpiece, then I would frame an lp that had nothing but the words "U2" on it if it was the cover.

I really like it!

 

[drivemytrabant]

Man I gotta say this is growing on me much more than I thought it would or much more than the name actually is. Very "I don't give a shit" rock edge to it. Very cool.

The red slahes remind me of the ones in the intro of the Slane DVD. Don't know why that suddenly comes to mind....

There's a sense of equality about the picture that I like. To me it says 'We are U2 (whether you like it or not)'. No LVs up front or moodly landscapes.. what you see is what you get.

 

[PowerSurge]

from a graphic design stand point it is very dynamic. You can NEVER go wrong with B&W and Red. Also the diagonal red slash marks are reminicent of toxic waste markings or industrial danger zone type symbols.


Its growing on me, but I'm just waiting for the tunes.

Bono on the new album cover (from Blender magazine)


"Over dinner, Bono frets about tomorrow's shoot for the album cover. He wants to portray the band as friends who have made it into their 40s and accept each other, faults and all. Perhaps, Bono suggests, a picture of U2 sitting around a cafe table drinking coffee and talking"


Looks like the band was looking for something simple and straight forward.

I shall now go and gouge my eyes out.

I think I'll just replace the CD insert with GibsonGirl's version of the cover.

 

[starsgoblue]

I for one, love Bono on this cover....

 

[Axver]

I think I'll just replace the CD insert with GibsonGirl's version of the cover.

As will I. Heck, it would take a lot to top that cover!

 

[* MoFo *]

once you get the idea of edge actually being asleep behind those shades you never get it out of your head!

 

[Souly]

I think it's too plain.

Man, you guys are making me blush.

GibsonGirl, Where is your suggestion for the cover?

Well, since you asked...

My sense of humour is slightly warped.

 

[ultraviolet353]

are we absolutley, 100% sure this is the cover? I really hope not--I really hate it--only U2 cover I have ever disliked.

 

[U2_Guy]

If this is the cover it suxs big time.
