MERGED --> Album Cover on Amazon + New album cover here?

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

If some mothers had never seen The Edge before and saw this picture first, they'd lock their daughters away and ground them from ever logging on Interference ever again.

Oops... wasn't supposed to do that.

I think I like it.
It's very clean.
No tangent lines intersection in poor places.
Carrys the new "/////////" theme they have started.
Decent understated typeface use.
Good if not spectacular picture of the band, 'cept for Edge, he looks just a tad too "I'm bad!"
Bono looks priceless, like he knows something we don't.
This cover won't age poorly either, as it's pretty "classic" in its approach.

awful

 

[Roland of Gilead]

Do you think they'll add some biblical reference to this cover? A hidden message?

I am worried about that spot below The Edge's crotch. Could that be a bug?

Did I just start some crazy PLEBA thing now?

 

[machismo]

If this is indeed the album cover, it actually reminds me a lot of a few Ramones covers, where its just a black and white photo of the band in front of a wall.

I hope this is the real album cover. I love it, and they all look so cool!!!

"and they're doing the atomic bomb...do they know where the dance comes from!?"

This cover is not at AMAZON anymore!

I hope they change it.

This is exactly the vibe I got from this cover!

With all The Who talk, I was worried that they would might pull one of those "been caught pissing on a concrete slab" kinda things.

Not there anymore? Well then, sounds official to me now.

I still see it:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...103-7586606-0112635?v=glance&s=music&n=507846

And on a side note, note that the sales rank is up to 112!!

Nice picture of the boys, though kinda underwhelming as album-cover art.

I like that other picture better...the one with the four of them in a desert-like setting with the big sky and the Rosarch-test cloud formation. That one, which is at @U2, reminds me of the UF cover (and inside album pics) and the JT shots.

 

[Judah]

Sorry, i guess that @u2 one is the u2 calendar shot. Still...nice pic.

Yes, they must have gone back to put up a BIGGER PICTURE. MWAHAHHAHAHAH.

As I wrote in the thread in the U2 News forum, this cover (or at least photo) definitely has an AB look to it, especially Bono. Are those "fly" shades? It's like a cross between AB and ATYCLB.

If this is the final cover, I like it. With a title like that, it's best to let the music do the talking, not the album cover. Anything more complex might be too much with such a thought-provoking enigmatic title. In other words, elegant simplicity is needed and it appears it was captured. Good job!

Now I'm seeing again.
That's odd...

 

[U2dork]

Bono: hehe, I tied adam's shoelaces together...

He does look a tad impish doesn't he?

 

[ramblin rose]

The more I look at it the more I love it.

 

[SmileyGladhands]

Looks like Adam has his hand down his pants!

Kick ass art though, I love Anton

 

[HelloAngel]

I really like the cover.. as I told someone earlier, it feels very "sensitively confrontational."

 

[U2_Guy]

I definetely remember reading about this kind of cover anywhere...

The one who knew about it probably knows alot more about HTDAAb...

 

[Roland of Gilead]

I love the color red on this cover. It radiates "LOUD!"

 

[kellyahern]

I that cover

 

[elfyx]

I love all the saturation of black within the photo and how it bleeds into the pitch black border. very cool.

Everytime I see that whole // thing I keep thinking if its like a web address or something lol!

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I love the color red on this cover. It radiates "LOUD!"

i believe the band were so inspired by the office of u2 security's album advisory system that they decided to include the color red in the album cover

 

[markoajda]

Hey guys, how do you dismantle an atomic bomb?

Edge: (annoyed) its like this...
Adam: what? do i look like the fukin' bomb squad?
Bono: hehe, I tied adam's shoelaces together...
Larry: Huh? This is a photo shoot? Shit, I thought we were just all taking a break. Get outta my face.

**funniest post in a while**

 

[elfyx]

Nice work Headache! You totally rule interference by getting scolded by The Edge himself!

 

[Edgette]

I do hope this is the album cover, that's such a great picture of all of them.

Badass Edge is always a plus.

And yeah, Bono's definately plotting something. hehe
