[Mr.Selfdestruct]

Instantly made me think of the artwork from the Send Away The Tigers period. It's not AWFUL. I find it amusing for some reason

[everlasting]

Nothing amazing, but fine. Track listing is cool, so many great songs to show how great and diverse the band are.

OH FOR FUCKS SAKE.

NOT THOSE FUCKING SHITTY SATT PICTURES AGAIN!!!

Who is going to pick this up? "Oh this band looks like they'll be really girly and trumpety!"

[i-friday]

So badly disappointed with the artwork, my humble opinion ....

[UEF]

The angles of the mine thing in the new one match the bridge and railings on SATT almost perfectly

Exactly my thinking! Bloody hell! Wish it had been more arty/frankly better. It doesn't exactly reflect the last 20 years of singles and would have been nice if they were on the cover rather than yet more girls in costumes FFS....

[Mr.Selfdestruct]

They're trying to reach out to the people who bought YLAINE/Send Away The Tigers and nothing else, before or after.

I was going to suggest is it the same blonde but the one on the SATT cover has more shaplier legs so not

[UEF]

I do believe the mine in question is the "Big Pit" in Wales. Check the flag on the top.

For once, growing up in Wales has benefited me in some way.





(You can even see the same pile of pipes and shit in this one!)

She's incredibly thin!

Stupid comment I know, but I was quite surprised...

Is that Big Pit behind the girl about to blow her horn?

Brilliant place though, everyone should visit (well unless you're claustrophobic in which case dont).

[socialist cook]

I couldn't be bothered looking through 30 + pages!

I only come and visit once in a while, and when I do I could spend hours here!

[Midlands_Junk]

They'll come out with something about the artwork "reflecting how we combine glamour with politics, but are still true to our working class roots and history"...(in a pretty lame and obvious way)

[Littlesue]

It should have been like the Sergent Pepper album but instead have all the famous Welsh people, just to piss The Gutless Wonder off they could have had James sitting on Kelly Jones's lap

[starryknight]

Let me predict, the next album will have a girl dressed as a Dalek behind which will be to the Port Talbot Corus/steelworks... The Big Pit, Blaenavon is fantastic!
