Absolutely freaking awesome.

I like the rotary phone dial.

 Shocked

I didn't think it was it for the first few seconds.. Shocked

I like it, but I can't quite picture SF59 on an album with that art.
Very big and bold - SF59's songs better sound big and bold. Especially the lyrics. Smiley


Aww but 10/28 is so far away.. Sad

Yeah, you can definitely tell Invisible Creature did it. I like it a lot, I think it's an awesome cover, it jsut doesn't seem "epic" enough to capture Starflyer. Maybe that'll change for me, though.

Not sure I'd use "epic" to describe any of the band's past covers, honestly... if anything, "underwhelming" would be a better word. Smiley

Right now I am ranking this cover with Old for best two covers.

I'd add LHAS in there somewhere.

It's a cool design, but the cover almost jumps off the page. I guess we'll find out if it fits when the album comes out. I like most of the album covers except for the ones that are just one color.

I'm rooting for a Starflyer cover album.

seriously, guys, this is a horrible album cover.  it looks like it should be for the soundtrack to the batman animated tv series.  it ranks right up there with talking voice vs. singing voice as the worst starflyer album covers.

but horton says it's the best record since the fashion focus, so we'll see.  it could come in a cardboard box, as long as the music's cool.

I fail to see the problem here.

Seriously. Smiley

I really like it.  Good balance, good color-coordination, and finally seems to have something to do with the actual title.  I like the cover for LHAS also, but what on earth did that cover have to do with the album title? (same for TV vs SV)

Of course, I also love the old Batman animated series.

I would personally vote TV vs SV as the worst SF59 cover myself.

Eh. Too much hate for TVvsSV on the forum guys. Need more love for it, it's a great album.
The cover expresses the style of the album. It's good. Smiley

The cover matches the mood of the album, definitely.

Unfortunately, the rest of the packaging is just variations on the cover picture, which tells us that someone at Asterik was just being lazy when they designed that album. But the cover is still great.

I forgot how splendid the My Island packaging was. That's my real #2.

1. Old and Dial M
2. My Island
3. Leave Here a Stranger
4. all other stuff
