I agree completely that Roger Dean's cover doesn't match GG's style of music, yet his art is far better than the octopus in the jar.  Personally, I think Dean may be one of the greatest artists of all time.

I prefer the picture - type of art better in general (Hugh Syme for example) so I like the octopus in a jar, but both pieces of art are beautiful.
But neither can put the music to justice, incredible album.

btw I voted for the Dean one cause I like it about as much and its behind.

The american cover suits the music more, quirky and unexpected

they are both very good - the Dean is excellent but to dark for the music

Definitely the Roger Dean cover! The colours are magnificent. One of his best covers.

The USA cover, but I don't really like either of them. I think Dean has made much better covers than Octopus.
