Nothing incredible (like the AB cover), but a great photo. Again, elegance in its simplicity. I think with a title like that, a simple cover was definitely needed - let the music do the talking, not the album cover.

That said, the band has a AB-ish look to them, especially Bono. Are those his FLY glasses again? I wonder how many pairs of those he'll lose (if he's like me and my sunglasses, a fair number).

 

[DrTeeth]

Not bad, not bad at all

 

[VertiGone]

Bono certainly looks like he is up to something....

 

[purpleblackeye]

it's cool, but i like the calendar photo better.

 

[U2democrat]

Bono certainly looks like he is up to something....

yeah he looks very impish......

but they all look hot

 

[di_g]

simple, nothing particuarly striking about it, but pretty cool anyway

 

[BOYO3221]

ITS UGLY

it's ugly plain and simple, u2 fan since 84 and this is the worst yet...yuck

 

[agentmissa]

......... hair.............

 

[SoBe]

I'm diggin' the new cover. Very simple..but I like it.

 

[ultraviolet353]

awful--I really, really hope this is not it--I agree, I love the calendar photo.

 

[U2 addict]

Beautiful- I love it

 

[Zoorock Girl!]

Wow. I think most of us could do better than that.

 

[ElectricalVoice]

Didn't like it the first two seconds I saw it. But suddenly I understood. Simple, atomic - perfect for the title. I like those red stripes.

 

[-macphisto-]

ITS PERFECT, SIMPLE IS THE BEST

 

[ewen]

talk about airbrushing photographs to make people look better....They did a great job in thickening Bono's hair and taking 20 years off him!

 

[BostonAnne]

Nice. I like the sky in the mirrors behind them. I think that Bono's hair is partly shadow.

 

[elevation]

I just think it's boring...

 

[Johnny_Mo]

it's better....than October

 

[Muggsy]

the photo is good


but why do they use that typography (the font) ??? (from the view of a graphic designer)

 

[redhilltown]

Sweet Cover!!!

Great cover, pleasantly surprised.

I get the feeling that "they'll dismantle it".

After all these years we finally see them up close once again on a cover.

Classic simplistic approach.

 

[2861U2]

I like it. A simple cover is needed for such a complex title. I love how each of them look. They look like they are all in deep thought.........thinking.........about how to dismantle an atomic bomb.

 

[Johnny_Mo]

edge looks like he died suddenly.
adam died peacefully.
larry is facing the killer.
bono is the killer.

 

[False_Prophet]

What a weird photo, Edge and Adam look POP-era, Bono looks AB-era and Larry for once is the only one that looks his age... Not the best of covers mind..

 

[Homerpalooza]

Really nice! The calendar shot was great, but way too similar to JT and ATYCLB.

Red and black are always a good combination.

No, it doesn't look as "slick" as usual, but once we hear the album I'm sure we'll all understand why this cover works best with the music.

 

[bratty_cat]

I think it's a fitting cover for a 'punk rock' album. Has a late-70's punk vibe!

 

[Caroni]

They look great, But as I said before, don´t like the new art

 

[Queen Bee]

 

[walkon71]

Is Edge sleeping?

 

[Zooropa man]

Cover art

Hmmm........different, interesting, unusual, not what people were expecting but in the end......I think It'll work. No?
