Rather Ripped cover art - Page 2

Sir Paul Skinback obe · 04.06.2006, 10:09 AM

I quite like it, looking at it I would say it was designed by everyones favourite administrator Mr Chris Habib.

Trasher02 · 04.06.2006, 10:30 AM

wow...
looks kinda lame

Everyneurotic · 04.06.2006, 10:35 AM

that's probably the cover of the promo copies they send out to radio and the media.

i don't think something that crappy is going to be the actually copy

the correct title for an album with a cover like that would be 'rather cheap and lazy'. but hey, it's what's inside that really counts.

screamingskull · 04.06.2006, 11:17 AM

very true.

rocky · 04.06.2006, 11:29 AM

why is it cheap looking?
it's damn spunky and rough.
it's also really harmonic/semblant (don't know the right word) with mostof what they've previously had on the covers.

If it is the real thing then it's an obvious statement about them going back to their roots... it's very DIY, which I love.

Also 'cheap' looking doesn't necessarily mean bad... it's the attitude that it represents that is the most important thing... there is a certain beauty in being basic I think.

val-holla-ing · 04.06.2006, 11:32 AM

i can't say that i like this one. after the amazing cover art in nurse (and everything else in the past however many years), i figure they would've kept the trend going.

then again, thurston has been saying that "rather ripped" is going back to the stripped down, more rock and roll feel and this cover does possess a very DIY rock aesthetic to it.

screamingskull · 04.06.2006, 11:33 AM

i just think that murray street and bad moon rising are such great front covers for albums and i dont really like this one. its too plain.

nancykitten · 04.06.2006, 12:16 PM

Wow, how Black Flag-meets-Suicide.

Can't see it being real though.

satirejohn · 04.06.2006, 12:18 PM

hmm... i really liked the one with the mirror and the eye, so i'm quite dissapointed by this, as it's nothing special..

Toilet & Bowels · 04.06.2006, 12:28 PM

Oh man, this album is going to suck worse than the last one.

Alex's Trip · 04.06.2006, 12:37 PM

I think it looks really dumb and generic. I don't think it is going to be the real cover. The one that looked like a toilet is better.

I'm thinking more along the lines of Minor Threat.

Black Flag was Goo.

krastian · 04.06.2006, 01:58 PM

If this IS real, then I think I like the other one better.

Soundtrax · 04.06.2006, 02:25 PM

get a life. this one is real

fishmonkey · 04.06.2006, 02:46 PM

fuck, i dont know what i think of it... it looks like its gonna be a rockin record though, the cover is kinda Manic Street Preachers meets Prince type thing..

i expect it will grow on me (the cover that is, i expect i'll instantly love the record)

you mean, you think Nurse sucked??

sy2004 · 04.06.2006, 03:26 PM

I love Nurse & I'm sure that Rather Ripped will be great.

Soundtrax · 04.06.2006, 03:31 PM

rather ripped i think will be a continuation of daydream nation, goo and dirty, i hope so, from the facts that i can gather, thats what it is
