The Booklet, the Cover & The Art
« on: November 22, 2008, 05:35:55 AM »
About the Booklet

Photos of fans holding CD:

As for the booklet, I am a little disapointed.
The art and graphic design is very dull and "cliché", and mainstream.
But i was never really waiting for something very original.

but I LOVE the front cover and the red star painting.
And the end page "red cross" ( i think i saw that painting in a exhibit a few years ago in paris).

What matters is THE MUSIC, right?

Of coarse the music matters, but most forward thinking bands pride themselves on having great artwork.  The book is just another sign that Axl really had nothing to do or wants nothing to do with the album being released.

Hahaha. You're fuckin' right. It is incredible they spent ten years to write lyrics and they do wrong.

Booklet is very, very standard. Nothing special. But it doesn't even have a band photo like others albums (I love UYI band pic).

And, yes, Axl should thank fans for patience thru all these years.

Can't believe Axl thanked Jarmo.  Major disapointment for me.  I'm not buying anything with Jarmo's name on it.  Ever.
