1) Looks like I have to get the special edition to get all the songs. Thanks, Symphony X.
2) That is fucking atrocious cover art. I didn't know the Dance of Death guy was still getting work.

Looks better than the Autopsy one though.

I'll have to get the special edition also...and ya that album artwork is horrible.

The artwork for the regular edition is good, the special edition is horrible.

Nope.

They used the same early test version of Photoshop, I think.

This is the opposite of true. Actually, no, the opposite would imply that the special edition was good, which it isn't. It just makes me vomit less than the regular.

Im just saying that if im looking at cds in a store that cover would catch my attention. I dont get why guys are so picky about album covers, I think any cover that looks like the artist put real effort into it and there is observations to be made about it then the cover is doing it's job.

These are bad covers (dont grab your attention or make you curious about the artist):

Kill has a great cover, son. The whole "zombies doing weird shit with other zombies" shtick is shocking for approximately one cover. I think Kill might be the best CC cover.
