| I for one think the cover is awesome, it is very different and suits the album :D |

I dont see anything wrong with the cover. A bad cover was Moshics original for Salamat, or any modern Armin cover. At least John and Ricky arent on the cover with a meditative (and stupid) facial expression :D |
Apart from the fact it's an obvious Photoshop, it's just so damn pompous and ridiculous. You can tell there's some grand idea about beauty and rejection and, um, fiery death train destruction. It looks more like a My Chemical Romance cover than anything.
The lettering is quite nice, though. |

| Thanks for the heads up. I probably would have forgotten to order it otherwise. |

| That cover is indeed untasteful, i would be ashamed having it lying around for people to see. I know there isn't a great collective sense of style in the dance music world, but i would have expected something to match the music, which is very good. No one is gonna get in line to buy this because of how good it looks, that's for sure. |

Is the album cover really that bad? I couldn't care less either way. I don't buy music based on what the album cover looks like. Although I'm sure that there are some out there that do. |

It looks way too emo. I'd way rather have them in duo Jesus poses... Okay no this is fine.
Besides the cover looking ridiculous, looking forward to this one. Looks great! |

I actually think cover art is a good selling point. The job of good cover art is to represent the music visually. If I'm browsing Beatport and looking at a page of releases I've never heard of, I click the ones with good art first. |

| Take the Asian fairy out and you've got a notsobad cover to be honest. |

I suppose that's a good point. Maybe you're more of a diligent digger than I am. I usually only go buy music after I've heard songs that I like. I probably miss out on a bunch of stuff this way.
My listening is usually dictated by people on these boards. Sometimes it works out, other times it doesn't. So while appealing cover art is appreciated and is a nice bonus, it doesn't really factor in my typical music purchase. Although, I can see how cover art can help if you're semi-randomly scouring music stores.
Regardless, at this point you're more than likely familiar with the album so why complain if you've already listened to it? Are you worried that it won't get as much exposure because others will pass it over because of the lame album art? |

on Beatport? Really? I've never ever cared about a cover on Beatport. But in the record store; yes. |
