Nope, still not to my liking. Way too standard fantasy fare that one.

Coming from the guy that likes the Anguish cover art that doesn't say an awful lot ;]

How is that not the most awesomest thing ever?! That's exactly why I love this artwork btw =P

You'd think it would appeal to me but I think... I dunno, maybe it's like, too surreal or something? Like there's no way LOTR and Star Wars can co-exist. It just baffles my mind.

For some reason I do like the "extended" version though. :/ Maybe seeing more landscape and not focusing so much on the Ringwraiths helps me digest it better.

I rather like the idea of some kind Lord of the Stars mash-up. I do however love anything desert and "used-future" related so that artwork is a total turn on for me.

The first thing I thought was Dune though.... Star Wars and LOTR only came later.

The art style is wrong for Dune to me. Dune is far darker. Basically it looks too damn sunny and clear to be from Dune =P

Stupid cover art and a pointless change.

Such negativity is so unnecessary, i think the art is wonderful

The logo doesnt fit with the artwork, it looks like something that Boris would have used or maybe something from a yoghurt.. ..yeah, a yoghurt.

I would sooooooooooo buy that yoghurt.


But yeah, the logo definitely doesn't fit the artwork. In fact... The cover would have been perfect with no logo and album name at all.

Yeah except Jawas are kind of more midget like, these are too tall to be Jawas.

It's cool enough artwork but not like, Ghost's debut album cool artwork.

I thought the original art was awesome. The new art is cool too. They probably changed it so that collectors will have to buy a second copy.

I just noticed that you can replace the idea of Ringwraiths with "big Jawas" and in that case it will be a full Star Wars thing instead of SW/LOTR.

Just saying...
