Ah yes, terrible cover, and not one of their better albums IMO, though it contains what may be my favorite Queen song of all time..."Dragon Attack" (the "Get down!'s" and all )

Sorry for O/T

yes 90125/big generator.

NO effort put into the album covers, doesn't even bare the classic logo or have lovely roger dean or storm thorgerson artwork like their previous albums. The albums have very bland colours and crappy fonts.

kinda reflects the music on those albums really...

maybe it can be said that the album cover reflects the music inside...

example:

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon: amazing album cover, amazing album
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King: amazing album cover, amazing album

Yes - 90215: crap album cover, crap album
Genesis - Genesis: crap album cover, crap album

I have many times thought the same thing and many times it works albums with great covers often have great music aswell, realy strange. Take for example the white album by the beatles i have newer liked it as much as the ather albums by them maby becaus of the album cover the music to me is very colorless, meby i whuld have liked it more if it hade a beter cover, and sgt pepper have a great cover with much colors and i think the music is much beter on that one then the withe album. so i think the cover is very important for the album.

Or look at an classic Yes, king Crimson or Genesis album the cover allmost tells you about how the music will sound i think, like fraggile the album sound yust as the cover looks. or Red the cover is dark yust as the music. Or Tales from topograpich oceans the cover its deep beautiful and mystic yust like the music are.
