Both are pretty bad, British is slightly better.

Not exactly fond of the British one, but the American is downright ugly.

This is seriously some uncanny valley shіt. Would be more fitting for a King Crimson album or a horror themed compilation.

As a former art teacher ; I want to weigh in on Renaissance covers. The American version looks Italian modernism to me: the circles as a mass focal point; the pseudo Art Nouveau flowers (in complementary colors) provide a color focal point against the neutral color -brown. The faces provide a measure of angst and sereness. These are found in the music Renaissance creates. For me a better cover. The other cover looks like a washed out pastel children's book of the 1940's.

I like them both, but I'd pick the original as my album cover if I were in the band. It just look more authentically old world, if that was the point.

Both are dreadful. In the American one the kids and the woman look like shapeshifters, so the British one

Hi, Not sure who made the call for that cover, but they both don't fit the album and its music at all, and I tend to think that they take away from the actual album itself. I kinda wished they had studied the idea for a cover a bit better, and the differences, are probably designed to show that the album did not do well in America? Really hard to figure out what is going on ... the whole thing seemed bad and I'm not sure it helped the band much! |

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Both of the young girls look to be drawn fine.

The American one is definitely growing in me tbh. The more I compare them, the more I prefer that one, and would probably change my vote to that one now ifI could. It definitely had more of a unique character, and I really don't like how the woman in the British one is looking off to the distance. The British one is more immediately appealing, but after long exposure to them, I think it's more generic
