No ;)
If you can't say something nice don't say nothing at all.

I think the cover is a sign of the time (1973-1974). The design as well as the colours. So I like that. The design is very much like The Human Menagerie album. The letters are 'stolen' from that same album. Is it inspiring? Maybe a better question: Is it exiting? No it is not. At least not in my book.

I remember Rachel wrote somewhere (some time ago) Steve still had to approve the artwork. Apparently he was very much involved. So he probably had something like this in mind for his own reasons. We haven't seen the back yet!

And as it goes for everything: beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

It's got a good booklet, some old photos and a piece written by Steve.The cover is obviously retro, sort of looking of the period which Steve didn't take exception to. Remember, CDs are small, you can't put artwork in great detail on them like they did with 12" LPs.
Anyway, let's hope the content will turn eveybody on!
