You never know...

Yup, like the font too, nicely restrained. The tone & idea of the pic is good but i don't think it's quite right yet.

The name had me expecting a real 80s cut & paste job, I like the way this one totally goes the other way. Nice contrast.

i am vaguely reminded of the cover to daydream nation.
there is a lot of thick ambient space, like the former?

To clear up the blink 182 thing, Thurston said they were going to call the album Dude Ranch Nurse but then they found out 182 had an album called dude ranch and on top of that they had a nurse that looked sleazy on a cover so they didn't want to get involved in that.

Me neither. At first glance it looked like a toilet, and once I realized what it was, I still didn't like it. I like the fact that it's a similar style to the DDN album art (like Rocky said), but the image itself isn't too appealing

so let's look at this from an angle that seems ignored.

if this is true, this is the proposed cover art for an album named RATHER RIPPED, which sounds eerily like a nightmarish installment from the backlog of richard simmons vhs tapes. then we get an eye in the mirror of a compact, which itself deceptively resembles a commode, for cover art. this, THIS 18 years after the album with the "high art" cover by gerhard richter and the lofty title "daydream nation."

with due respect, sonic youth have gone completely senile.

oh, someone is again trying to say i am stupid. i just think that now you can say the cover sucks, but when you hear the music you will be able to make a connection, and you will also like the cover

got it?

Na, dude, wasn't trying to rip into you for real... I just thought it was a little funny that you were in fact twisting a well-known idiomatic expression in on itself... I too love feeling the interaction between album art and album music and having them play off of each other. Certain records'll always make me see the colors on the outside cover... The music on Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction will always be that nice read color mixed w/ plaster white... Never Mind the Bollocks will always sound Day-Glo... etcetera...

I just can't think of any records with covers I've hated that I've changed my mind on because of the music inside. There probably is one somewhere, though.

Anyway, I hope if this is the cover, the music on the inside sounds like it looks, cause I definately like it and its giving off a very warm, intimate vibe.
