^ maybe the cover has got a deep message, or maybe not, but either way i can't take that cover seriously. 
(hence my LOL emoticon in my post above)

^ Yes, I got that, and it's understandable, given the b*tt-naked fellow in front row! Some people can't take seriously a cover with a planet blowing off and a spaceship with some sort of sails either, but still, there's more than a joke there.

Re: Colored lines on the Going for the One album cover

I've always thought the 5 lines represent the 5 members of Yes. If you flip your tri-fold cover over, take a look at the 5 band-member portraits. While the lines pass over and go behind more than one portrait, each line "best represents" one portrait exclusively.  (Disclaimer: I was not using any "enlightening substances" when arriving at the following theory.)

ORANGE: passes over Alan White's portrait exclusively.
BLUE/WHITE: passes over Jon Anderson's portrait (top right corner).
PALE YELLOW: passes over Steve Howe's portrait exclusively.
RED: only passes over Chris Squire's portrait.
GREEN: all other colors are taken, so this one goes to Rick Wakeman.

Now you've heard everything right? This album's in my All-Time Top 10, and I've probably spent a little too much time with it!

Going For The One is fine; Wind & Wuthering is the last but certainly not least in a streak of Genesis albums that are among the most significant musical accomplishments I've had the pleasure of hearing in my life
