| The image kinda glosses over me in a 'meh' sorta way... And I think it does look like a typical Loaf album cover, if Meat really wanted a head turner/scratcher, he should have gone with someone like Jenny Saville (of Manic Street Preachers album covers fame). THAT would have turned heads... What I do like about the HCTB cover is it does seem quite rich with references (albeit only graphical so far at first glance; like images of the various bike skulls lying on the ground) so there is an element of continuity. I don't know how much Julie Bell was directed in terms of the content but if not, then she seems to know her stuff (again with regard to previous Loaf album imagery at least). All in all the new cover looks a wee bit like "Bat Out Of The Neighbourhood"... > Am I the only one still wincing at the album title?!? > > Meat's logic is bizarre!
