I don`t like that cover either. My favorite covers are from Iron Maiden albums.
I usually find Queen covers their most weack aspect of their marketing! It just doesn`t work.
Take care
Not all. Queen II/NOTW/ANATO/ADATR/ are all classic album covers imho. AKOM and Innuendo are good covers. There is nothing "bad" about Queen 1/SHA/Jazz. The Game/Works are simple. The only 2 I don't care for are Hot Space/Miracle. (I'm not a fan of Live Magic's cover either).

I actually really like the Jazz album cover. I got it when I was 6 years old on vinyl, and it was so big and shiny and just sort of mysterious since it doesn't tell you anything about what's on the record.
In a way it's sort of like the Dark Side Of The Moon cover to me (though I wouldn't say the Jazz cover is *that* good!). They both seem mysterious and made me want to hear what was actually on the album.

Of course they have some good covers, but compared to other bands they`re nothing special.
I mean look at the "Works" cover. What was the concept behind that cover?
You look at that cover and you think:" What a great hard rock album this bust be!
But when you listen to it, it`s pure pop. So, it`s obvious that they failled to connect the cover with the music. I don`t want to talk about all the albums (you wouldn`t read it to, so..) but the Works is a good example for what they could do.
They could have put a better/brighter picture of them, like a shot taken from the Radio GaGa video. You know what i mean?- make a connection between their music and their cover, so people could relate to that product.
They`ve done that with Innuendo, and it worked very well!
Take care

LOL! Actually, I have always thought it had a creepy look to it and hate it.

I remember an interview (maybe Brian's) telling it was intentional for the new style of Miracle composition. Miracle songs were composed all together from the beginning to the end. Till that album a member came to studio with his whole song and the others attached their parts.

Just goes to show that you can sometimes judge a book by its cover.
Bad cover - Bad album.

The Miracle is a great cover. One of my favorites.
Jazz and Hot Space i would say are pretty poor. The Miracle covers great!

Stephen - the Miracle cover looks nice - but it's nothing that anyone with a home computer and art package couldn't produce - even back then - packages like DPaint oint the Amiga and Corel on the Pc were doing this kinda stuff!!!
Jazz - i like (a lot) i think it's simple and stunning, and i also remember the 'inner poster' at the time....i think jazz works, but HS looks out of place in any period...
