What a negativity. Great cover. Make a better one yourself ??


He's got a point there. The cover is a 10 minutes' worth of work in Paint or Photoshop at best. If you're skilful enough and can invest at least a little time in what you do, you'd come up with anything twice as good as this product. I'm gonna be slagged off for what I'm saying anyway.

What lack of inspiration and taste. Kitsch cover! It is worst than Hungarian Rhaspody and Odeon.

Quite honestly, that cover is one cheap hackjob. I bet anyone here with some cover making experience could do a more elaborate and pleasing one.

Why are you all banging on about how bad the "cover" is?
It's an image designed to promote a digital download. It's not like we are ever going to be able to hold it in our hands like a 7" or CD single.

I am curious to the other songs on the albums . On spotify it says it is about an album.
An album never has one track to my opinion

Stop fucking moaning about the Cover.

On Spotify, a lot of Singles show as 1 Track Albums.

Beautiful from whatever versions are around.

And I appreciate not having the only dreadful part of the song, that being the 'Wayeeayeeeeyates' removed

It's Queen, of course i can moan about the cover! Their covers are/were iconic back in the day.
But this? Look at it...
It looks like one of those pieces of shit pics on Facebook made by some 55 year old female fan who just installed Photoshop 5 minutes ago on her pc and made this her cover photo with the caption "Freddy in Jeven RIP 1946-1991 HERMOSO." *Inhales violently*

Ok, rant over.

"Never make me boring!" FAILED.
We love you Mandy!

Lol. Is it really that bad Fairy?

Nah, there are worse things in the world...but this is definitely top 5 stuff.

The problem these days is artwork needs to be seen predominantly on a tiny screen so this fits the bill nicely. Pretty much all classic Queen covers would end up like that if released today.

I don't think the technical composition is the issue here, more the 'creative' choice of Freddie gazing wistfully towards clouds, intimating heaven/death/time running out etc...all a bit too mawkish and page 1 of 'The Idiot's Guide To Literal Translations!'
