Electric Earth-Touching the void

Here is the cover of Electric Earth's new album. I am always kind of interested in pictures that show a band live/on stage being put on the cover of a studio album. This one is different perhaps it's a partial shot and not straight fron on live shot like Ted Nugent put on his album covers on several occasions. I like that there is the main focus on the guitar and then you see the masses in the audience in the background. I think that adds a certain depth to it. The contrast in colors between light and dark work nicely too. This isn't a cover that overwhelmed me at first, but I definitely like it.

KISS-Dynasty

1979

I remember a time long ago when I would get excited about any picture I would see with KISS in make-up including this cover. That view has changed over the years partially due to me notting listening to KISS as much and almost certainly partially due to the steady reunions and whoring of their products. So now over the last 15 years or so seeing KISS in make-up on every product possible has been a regular occurance. Some make-up covers like Dressed to kill and Destroyer still hold up pretty well. However Dynasty's cover hasn't quite stood the test of time. Sure, seeing four ugly guys in this make-up is better than seeing them out of make-up. So that thinking alone makes this better than most of their 80's albums covers. Still it's really just their four faces sitting there with a border, the logo and album title around them. Not bad, but nothing special.
