The Cosmos Rocks

I have to admit, that if the Album is called "Cosmos Rocks" it is a bit of a crap title, very cheesy. Can't say I liked the album titles to "Queen Rocks" & "Rock Montreal" or "Queen on Fire" either, but hey!!!! it's only a Title. It's whats on it that counts.

You know what's next? After couple of last albums (ROTC, Montreal, On Fire)- I REALLY expect yet another crappy album cover...
Seriously- can they do worse? Sure- just look up Brian's Brixton cover... man, it's the same guy responsible...
I've seen much better bootleg covers!!!

It seems Richard Gray has really lost his touch :(

Perhaps they should hire Storm Thorgerson. Man, that guy can still create insane cover arts, even 30+ years on.

LOL Zonk

*TCR* reminds me of the recent Rolling Stones effort 'Bigger Bang'


the cover should be 'Lowrider', available only on 8track format

this album will be suck

The cover could easily be that picture which is being used to publicise the tour of a nubula or something, which wouldnt be too bad I suppose.

I too would prefer just "Cosmos" - as theyve gotten older the guys have slowly developed a slightly cringeworthy cheesyness about themselves sometimes - Throwing words like "rock" into everything seems to be the solution to a lack of originality in naming things.

Ah well, it may yet turn out to be called something else - its possible the stores and BBC have just assumed the name from reading the press release.

Oh, and of the covers listed above, whilst Montreal didnt really do it for me, I quite like on Fire at the Bowl.

I don't think so. It's obvious that Fred had huge input in design of sleeves, scripts of videos (he wrote script of IGSM as an example) etc., and since his death DoRo, Gray and many others "lost their touch". It's not implicit faith in Freddie's genius, but somethingness.

The Bowl cover was fine. At least it kept the same look as the previous Queen DVDs, as far as fonts and layout goes.
I still haven't bought the Montreal DVD because it just looks so fucking out of place. I know that sounds ridiculous but it'd be like having a Danielle Steel novel in my shelf with a Dirk Gently novel hidden in the cover. It'd look wrong; no matter how awesome the book inside may be.

Agreed- I love this guy... I started buying winyls because of his covers... that's ART...

I guess ON FIRE wasn't THAT bad- but it wasn'tr brilliant either... But Montreal is absolutely terrible, I could do sth like that in 5 minutes... and I'm crap at those things... ACTUALLY- if you think about it- Brixton Academy was done exactly the same way...

And Serry mentioned Freddie's input... My absolutely fav Queen covers are from INNUENDO era- not only album but the singles. It's brilliant. Now THAT'S how you make album look really good. And it was Roger's idea to use Grandville's pictures...

The magic is not in ideas sometimes, magic is in WHO picks the right ideas :)

It wasn't Fred who wrote AOBTD, but it was him who forced John to write more songs for Queen albums. Now we have more Brian-ish Queen... Except Another World cover, all his solo covers are ugly (maybe he doesn't care about them a lot) and then look at Happiness? or Blue Rock covers for comparison. So I agree about Roger's taste, wasn't it him who also came with ideas for Jazz and NOTW? While Brian was mentioned only as co-author of debut album sleeve.

The worst ever Queen's cover also was on the single with Brian's song, by the way: http://www.queenpicturehall.com/singles/queen/q22lpdauk7.jpg I prefer him to write messages for CD booklets, than to pick photos for his releases...

I absolutely love The Glutton's for Punishment album ;-)

Well, I hope it's not "The Cosmos Rocks", but it very well could be as it could be a nod to Freddie!

Why?....................

'Cos it's flippin GAY, that's why!!!

Now that is Jazz!!! Im off now for a day at the races.... anyone else coming soon?[/QUOTE]

I think Iv taken offence at your Inneundo

What a crap title.
mind you, I also think "Made In Heaven" is a crap title and that album should have been called "A Winter's Tale" (Since it is, effectively, the winter of Queen's career)
