Album Cover

[Larry B.]

i think the pic on the wall is carmen electra, not etty ..

uhm... nope, it's Etty.

Etty is just a woman showing her ass.

Carmen Electra is a very sexy woman in bed showing her ass.

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.

yeah it's just OK.

it doesn't suck, but it's not great.

Nothing's Shocking
Ritual
XXX
GGU
PFP
TGEA
ONe
SYTBS
Strays
SP
Applause for You

Woah, woah, woah, hold on there - RDLH is the best cover by far. My favorite rock album cover of all time.

But... no one's heads were on fire on that one.

[Larry B.]

i think this photo was the inspiration...

Probably Perry wanting to earn some pocket money before performing at the shoe store next door.

[crater]

I don't see the guy as looking like Perry, although the body type and speedo underwear is very PF.

[embrace_the_darkness]

First look- wtf?

Now I kinda like it

[Matz]

same here

[Turncoat]

Considering what I'd prepared myself for...

Goddamn... I am shocked... and pleased. It LOOKS and FEELS like a natural fit with the originals. Sure, it's updated with the computer... but you know what? It works... it's a little douchy that Etty's ass made it in there... but I agree that it's sort of a running tribute...

I really can't say anything negative about it. To me, this is a massive, unexpected leap in the right direction.

[Matz]

yeah, it's like a modern version of Ritual

[JOEinPHX]

i just realized...

he's not hugging himself.

i think it's meant to be symbolic of a straight jacket. Hence "the great escape artist", hence the pictures taken at Houdini's mansion.



is he trying to say he feels trapped?

[imail724]

Good catch. I think you're right about it being symbolic of a straight jacket.

[CaseyContrarian]

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

It does remind me of a Primus cover. Not really tripping any homophobe wires, but I do think it's ugly as sin and utterly artless.

[kv]

much like others could be way worse but doesn't do anything for me

pretty much sums up 2011 jane's in general

I had thought that pretty much right when I saw it...but why wouldn't he just have a straight jacket on then?

it would hide the penis

He feels trapped by his own narcissism.

[JOEinPHX]

another thought...

it's the ROOM that he is trapped in. The room IS his straight jacket.

[sinep]

Yeah, it does give off a Primus vibe.

that was my first thought too. it's a better primus album cover than the current primus album cover.

[JOEinPHX]

Maybe it's a commentary on how he lives his life. Stuck in hotel rooms with nothing but a bed, a desk, a book and some wine.

All he wants to do is get out and party.

[JOEinPHX]

i love that we've already spent 4 pages analyzing it, and it hasn't even hit the front of ja.org OR their message board yet.

I believe it's a beer bottle on his desk.

Isn't Sonny a big beer connoisseur?

[JOEinPHX]

i don't know. look at its proportion next to the book. It's either a 40, or a wine bottle. haha

[Tyler Durden]

i don't know. look at its proportion next to the book. It's either a 40, or a wine bottle. haha

The proportion is WAY off...but if you zoom in on it on the Amazon site, it's pretty clear that it's a beer bottle.

[JOEinPHX]

maybe he just worked with what he could find, and it's MEANT to be a wine bottle.

[Larry B.]

Maybe it's all a metaphor regarding the dangers of the Large Hadron Collider and its impact on the ozone layer and the chupacabras.
