Adam Jone's Rib Cage cover is awesome and perfect for the music.. the inside however..

Haha isn't that what Adam Jones is known for? Minus his awesome claymation videos of course Wink

Idk, it's bleak, it's plain, and it's thought provoking, just like Tools awesome music.

Fair enough. It always screamed 'cheap CGI render!' to me. Tongue

Both the top 2 covers are just wrong - especially that 'wasnatch' (?)........

Same here. Well, it was a complete nonsense of the band to abandon cooperation with Mr Roger Dean.

The cover of 90125 is pretty cool.

The title is a joke, worst indeed.

"Going for the One is an avarage cover, not that bad per se, but not suitable for Yes' music...."

I disagree that it is average, but I agree 100% that it is not suitable to the music. In fact when I first heard Wonderous Stories, without having seen the album cover, I envisioned something similar to Fragile or Tales from Topographic Oceans (they are Roger Dean art i think), so I was really disappointed when I finally saw the cover--in fact at first I thought it couldn't be right, like it was a mistake.

As for 90215 and Big Generator, I think they are pretty average covers, Not great, but at least they better represent the music on their albums.

I'v always been wondering how it was generally possible that such a cover passes and to destroy that pretty good collection of the songs.

Going for the One is an avarage cover, not that bad per se, but not suitable for Yes' music - the same thing is with Tormato cover.

Though, those two are much worse..

Just my opinion, of course.

HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! I can't believe it either!

Better suited for a "Village People" album cover....

Are Keith Emerson's pants and accessories auditioning for "Rocky Horror" and "The Time Warp" i.e. "It's just a jump to the left......"!
