this band sucks... and the cover is distasteful. i don't want to see that! and for those of you who are about to attack my personal opinion, GO TO HELL.
You're right. The music does KICK BUTT! That's exactly why I"m confused as to why this band felt the need use a topless woman as their cover art. Are they afraid they won't gain attention for their music's merit alone? What relevence does a naked woman have in this context, other than to shock/titilate? Disapointing.
The album cover on Amazon has what looks like a simple MS Paint edit to the original. It's not a photo, it's just a drawing (granted it's a pretty detailed drawing) but it's one of those that crosses the line of art a bit too much for general distribution.
