I hope they send over some stickers and other extras much like past releases.
Just a thought.

My guess is because it (combined with the title font) seems to be going for more of an early 80s feel rather than the usual warm 70s vibe their covers exude. I think it's going to be a dark, Reagan era cold war "what if they dropped the nukes?" type concept album.
Yep. To me, this looks like a total early 80's style. Completely different look/feel than their previous albums. Kind of hoping the music is too!
So they're moving on. What if that means we might see an early 90's style BoC album someday? That'd have to be their last.
An artist's freedom is to change, that's why tons of people call their former favorite band sellouts over time, really it happens all the time. For one I am eager to hear their new material, I have a feeling that at first I will be unsure but that it will grow on Me. I can't wait!

if the music fits then great, but as it is it gives me a bad feeling in its bordering clichés. its cinematic in feel no doubt, 70s and 80s. The font Avant Garde has been around since the 70s and the trick is still used to convey this period. Unfortunately it has become 'hip' overused (espeically its Alternates) combined with this new wave of instagram style photography or just simply evocative. It was also used on ABPOITC... 70s.
Geogaddi still my fave, its just so unusual and original looking.
I'm pretty sure that track isn't on the album, and I didn't like it at first, but man I keep getting drawn back to it and something about it is just hitting me hard. It's great.Distant Nebulus wrote:http://d2z73vh7cr79ry.cloudfront.net/tomorrows_harvest_transmission.mp4

I like this cover but I know what you mean. That's how I feel about a lot of the Neil Kruger stuff tbh.
What if this wasn't event the cover art? What if the track names are fake? That would be funny. I'm 99% sure this not the case, but with BoC, you never know. That's one of the many things I love about them- never sure. I just posted this for laughs, so don't think I'm so far off the edge that I don't buy my own reflection. Although, sometimes my refelection doesn't feel like me. But anyway...

Actually, take out that cityscape and I could totally get behind it. The cityscape isn't needed at all to convey the same message.
