 I can see a pattern developing here.

 Not terrible... just a bit boring (the music) Beautiful cover though ------------- The Wheel of Time Turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the shadow. Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time... |

I only know that for me the best Black Sabbath's album is Master Of Reality... If I somehow were to create the series of World Literature Masterpieces, kind of - I'd made them all the books without any illustrations, just the highest-quality paper and hardcovers, tear-resistant and such, but only paper and ink and the title of the book written in the same font on all volumes. There are extremely inventive album covers (as well as book covers) in neo-prog (as well as some super huper muga ooltra series of books of cosmic pirates storming the gates of Louvre) - in general, from my personal experience, it is better to hide the cover until you've consumed its contents. ------------- Favourite Band: Gentle Giant Favourite Writer: Robert Sheckley Favourite Horror Writer: Jean Ray Favourite Computer Game: Tiny Toon - Buster's Hidden Treasure (Sega Mega Drive/Genesis) |

Three YES albums mentioned so far where the music matches the amazing artwork. Well, maybe not in the case of Union (otherwise known as Rick Wakeman's Onion album because it always makes him cry).

 Not a terrible album but judging by the excellent wimmelbilderbuch-esque comic book styled cover art, I expected something way more exciting music-wise. :P ------------- On the day of my creation, I fell in love with education. And overcoming all frustration, a teacher I became. Ernest Vong |

 This album cover is honestly really nice, and makes me wish the album was Mike Oldfield doing some kind of Cocteu Twins-esque shoegaze album rather than the very poor new wave that was certainly loosing its charm by the tail end of the 80s. ------------- D~B |
