Can we talk about how lazy the album cover is?

The book cover pic for Bono which is from the War/Uf era (?) and three stock photos from the Pop era for the other 3…. The fuck is that about?

The cover is actually really weird and random.

**Headache in a Suitcase** · 01-14-2023, 07:33 AM

It's really strange that it was allowed.

Even if you told each band member they could pick whichever era they wanted for their pic and the three just randomly chose Pop cause they rightfully think they looked bad ass during Pop, and Boner was like "actually I think they need the mullet from me"... ok, fine.

You can't pick three headshots with a white background and one with a black background. That's just bad design.

Unless it's intentional and Paul is dead.

Maybe it's the band's way of saying that Pop was their mullet.

Call me when they start releasing public live albums of their best tours. It's inexplicable to me that I can't send my friends a good live take from ZooTV on Spotify or something.

Larry/Adam/Edge: “Let’s grab some outtakes from the Pop photo sessions. Those are kinda fuck-off cool.”

Bono: “Nah, it needs to reference me book.”

Larry/Adam/Edge: “These also serve as an implicit nod to our adventurous 90s work before we play hi-tech shows around it.”

Bono: “Surrender is me book.”

Larry/Adam/Edge: “The dark background on your photo makes the whole thing look off. Perhaps you can find something more in line with the rest of the portraits?”

Bono: “Looks like me book. Surrender. This is Songs of Surrender, like a soundtrack to me book.”

Larry/Adam/Edge: “Don’t you at least want a photo with a better haircut?”

Bono: “Well, you see, the mullet represents innocence…”

Larry/Adam/Edge, to each other: “Fuck it, still better than his current look.”

Pretty accurate. I’m sure also Bono mentioned that the Mullet is not just a hairstyle, it’s an idea.

Are these guys going on tour or what? I haven't seen them since the 360 tour.

**Headache in a Suitcase** · 01-18-2023, 08:41 PM

Do you like penny slots?

I wouldn't ask him about why he hasn't seen certain shows, he can get a bit prickly in response.

It was certainly more curiosity than criticism.
