It would be better if etty were nowhere to be seen! But, otherwise, actually pretty okay

It's weird and a total curveball, but if this album keeps throwing me curve balls it will probably be enough to hold my attention. Looks like it came straight out of the 90s.

It makes me feel like I might be homophobe, and I'm not. Really creepy. Reminds me of a Primus cover.

When I first saw the Good Gods Urge album cover, it reminded me more of a Jane's album cover than the first Porno album.

Yeah, it does give off a Primus vibe.

I know I'm beating a dead horse here... but I can't help imagining that if Perry weren't such a douchebag, we could have had an at-least-passable cover such as this, backed up by delicious Avery-led music.

OK, carry on...

So, who's going to transcribe the book thingy? I remember reading "super happy! super pissed off! it's the great escape artist."

I dislike the fonts and the way they've been deployed - very amateurish. The missing apostrophe is a terrible thing and I hope somebody notices it and it can be fixed.

The image is so-so. I don't love it, but it's not horrible. It goes without saying that it's miles above Strays and SP. For what it is, the execution is quite good - it's just kind of a goofy style that I'm not into. It strongly reminds me of 1990s style stuff. I can see why it could have taken a lot of time to complete.

I don't know how to interpret it yet. I think I need a bigger image to really analyze it. I don't see the guy as looking like Perry, although the body type and speedo underwear is very PF.

The Album Cover is at least in the spirit of NS and RDLH. It's IMMENSELY BETTER than Strays and Satellite Party. It's actually cool. I have no problem with it.

it's Perry. It looks like him, he gave the character a huge cock, there is a wine bottle on the table, the book is probably filled with hebrew words, and there is a poster of Etty on the wall.

I'm happy that It is off putting and a little grotesque. Jasper is right in calling it goofy. I like the clutter and the overall colorscheme. I don't think that is supposed to be perry though. He doesn't have red hair.

I think undecided is an odd choice for a voting option. I think it's more or less kinda OK, and that's my decision. I AM decided on that. :noclue:
