don't get me wrong, I'm really happy about the new single/album/tour, but, about artworks, from 2005 we didn't get great stuff (tour programme cover, ROTC sleeve, the new phoenix logo, etc.). I know that it's what's inside that counts, but you know...
Funny, I remember when the "A kind of magic" album was released, I hated the cover and waited for one month before buying it :-)
But, except that one, I've always found Queen's sleeves very good and original

And you're telling me that's not an improvement? Hell, I'd like to see it released on 3" cd-single if the artwork is this bad.

The wiseman or someone else ones said "don't judge a book by a cover", but after watching this covers a few times, it wrilly hurts my eyes.
Since pretty much everything on it is influenced by Brian May and he is astrophysicist: the title,sand, 3 of the on some planet saveing the human race and trying to discover the meaning of live and all that. I just wonder what the cover would look like if the Roger Taylor would be the most influental in the band and he is the dentis! Would we see his secret dental office with his favourite tooth paste and tooth brush in the background. And probably on the back cover would be a long description how properly to wash your tooth. Don't know what's Paul Rodgers occupation, so that we can have a third version of a cover!?

The 'stars' look like sperms (and I'm not talking about three blokes)
This is a joke. And a terrible one.
Cannot believe anyone would pay for such thing... And we were complaining about ROTC or Montreal... This is crap. Crap- literally...

We sure miss the old days and artistic input from Freddie. Boring cover, just like the Montreal DVD. Who makes this crap?
I don't know what popular opinion of the Queen Rocks cover was, so maybe I'm committing a faux-pax by saying I liked that one a lot more than I like this weird thing.
The jittery starfield on long exposure (if that's the look they're going for) should really have only been a part of the cover, and not the whole damn thing.
And they've done a terrible job of putting themselves in the corner. Why could they not have been bigger? Or slightly transparent?
OR BOTH??
Bizarre cover.

I think that's a (sub)conscious way to tell the audience they've painted themselves into a corner by what they've chosen to call themselves...
They've also probably approved such a lousy cover to draw attention from the lousy songs inside. ;)

Personally I don't think it's that bad.
I don't exactly find fault with it as a 'concept', but I mean...
Is there anyone on the cover of this album who isn't a millionaire and who couldn't get something done for the 'execution' part of it?

Brian just looks miffed that he was beaten to the idea of having a spaceship made of amplifiers.
You know, looking at the three of them there, I do get a sense of that 'new band' Brian was talking about. Maybe I am imagining things.
Sort of feels empty, though. I keep thinking John should be there, and I'm generally of the opinion that he earned his retirement 25 years ago and should stay retired for his own good!
Ah well, bless them.... dodgy cover but album covers aren't a hobby of mine. I want to open the damn thing up.

I Love the Album cover, and I think the way they did it, it looks like the idea was to let it look a bit home-made
but I personaly love it!
I would even say that I think it's one of their best covers, because of the very cool front which is some kind of retro.... I Love IT!!!!
