In fairness his original mockup was a lot better than the abomination they released. I think it has potential if it has of been painted.

I always thought the Born Again artwork looked cooler on Andreas' t-shirt in the 'Roots Bloody Roots' video. Must be the black background.

Had to look that up. Jesus, no, not for me. It's enough for me to just include here actually  :laugh:  :abbath:



I reckon that's a brilliant cover! It's how the logo is rendered on top is what I find offensive, too many album covers killed with digital logos hovering over a painted/drawn cover.

Isn't this basically just a ripoff of Jane's Addiction?

Love this album but always thought the cover was hilarious.

I've heard the phrase 'cockeyed' but...

Just utterly pathetic on every level. How they could have thought that that was a good cover I just don't know. Thick as a brick.

Come on, that's actually one of the best album covers ever.

Also with regards to the DoD cover, Patchett presented a digital mock up to the Maiden camp intending to then do it for the album as a proper painting. But for reasons that remain a mystery, the band decided to go with the mock up.

About 20 years ago I went round to Patchett's place a couple of times; he gave me one of his paintings that hadn't been finished and had been in his shed for ages. Even though it's a work in progress it's still pretty cool to have.

Fucking hell that AN one is the pits

They could do a crossover with the inner image of Agoraphobic Nosebleed's "Altered States of America"...

Ah yeah, I forgot about that!  :laugh:
