Crim Machine might've been good!

Oh God, you guyze have gotta see the album artwork.......


The Next Day cover

(I'm told this is real, but the internet's got me in a permanent state of shiftiness).

ETA: Yeah, that's the same cover you see on the itunes release. Fuck it, I say! Why not?

If that's the real deal, I can't say it does much for me in terms of attractiveness, subversion or potency...or anything really. If the idea is to look as 'undesigned' as possible, as it says in the blurb below, then job done. But, to my eyes, it looks not so much 'undesigned' in such a way as to be humorous or radical or again, subversive yada yada and more in a way of "Holy shit, deadline's in 10 minutes, where's the cover?"

Yeah, but it's more memorable than a droopy-faced old man standing in the rain, innit?

I genuinely think that sleeve isn't as good as a droopy-faced old man standing the rain. It's not even as funny as that.
