track # 6

Regarding the kid/wet pavement shot: I doubt that's the album cover, the letters aren't remotely in proper perspective.

 

[last unicorn]

Where does that kid cover come from anyway?

It looks cool.

 

[bonocomet]

Am I the only one that doesn't like that cover with the kid? I don't know, I prefer the ones more like david's myself.

No, I don't like too... The U2 logo on the shirt is pretty strange.

Well, I found it on a brazilian fan-site... the poster said that it came from orkut.
Meh, but yeah, t does looks cool.

 

[BoyOnTheHorizon]

I still think this is the best so far... ethereal, mistic, as the songs should be.

 

[bonocomet]

Yeah I like that one too

 

[Zooropa man]

Where is the still from that video Larry made a while back... the one on U2.com. The video of the "Horizon"...?

 

[dan_smee]

^ we can all agree the boy one is a fake. I think that, with such a descriptive and image provoking title, it HAS to be a picture of the sea and sky melting together

 

[LyricalDrug]

The sea-to-sky melty covers are all cool, but the idea is too obvious for that to be the actual cover, you know? Although I guess they did kind of have a Joshua Tree on the cover...

 

[bonocomet]

Well it was on the back cover wasn't it... or was it inside.. (I forget)

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Well it was on the back cover wasn't it... or was it inside.. (I forget)

Outline on the back cover (and on the CD/record itself), and photo inside the liner notes. But no trees on the front, just U2's ugly mugs.

 

[bonocomet]

Thanks I'm at work and it's one of those things that I've seen so many times but still couldn't remember, I knew it wasn't on the front though

 

[dan_smee]

^ it may be obvious, but theyve never before had a title that was so descriptive of a physical thing/landscape.

I mean Boy, and there was a boy on the cover.

October - cant really take a picture of "october"

War - Boy in war helmet looking pissed

TUF - a castle

TJT - band in desert in and around a joshua tree

R&H - band on stage

AB - wall art

Zooropa - purple shit

Pop - popart photos

ATYCLB - at an airport - symbolism alludes to title

HTDAAB - band looking like paedophiles

NLOTH - Has to be a good photo of the beach or whatever. It may be obvious, but its completes the image. If it is to be a proper album, not just a collection of songs, the cover matters. Plus it doesnt make sense to have anything else

 

[Tacvbo]

HTDAAB - band looking like paedophiles

I really like this fake cover, it's like they're closing the cycle, with the image of the boy....

 

[MMP]

Zooropa - purple shit

 

[PowerSurge]

Zooropa - purple shit

wha????

I thought it was like a demented looking flag for the "nation of Zooropa" or something like that.

 

[dan_smee]

yeah, something like that, but its purple. And I tihnk the purple bits are distorted song titles in some wierd font, but iof you just look at uit in passing - purple shit

Edit: not saying that the cover IS shit, just saying purple shit using shit as a generic term to describe an indeterminate object, not physical shit.

 

[LemonMelon]

HTDAAB - band looking like paedophiles

It bears repeating.

 

[dan_smee]

love the album, worst cover ever. Maybe if it had a good cover people would like it more???

 

[LemonMelon]

What's sad is that the rest of the album art isn't that horrible. They could have picked any other photo for the cover and it would have been better.

 

[MMP]

love the album, worst cover ever. Maybe if it had a good cover people would like it more???

Worst cover ever? Are you sure?

 

[dan_smee]

Worst cover ever? Are you sure?

for some reason the image you posted isnt coming up?

 

[MMP]

Here it's ok. Let me try again:

 

[dan_smee]

haha, i think thats better than HTDAAB...

#18 looks like the kind of album Pitchfork would hail as a lost classic.
