Holy good crap guys! This guy pours his heart and soul into a review like that and all you can do is argue about other album covers???

BD123 that was ****ing amazing! What an incredible amount of thought and work must have gone into that. I know you're a serious Sabbath fan, so I'm not surprised that you chose them for your subject, but the questions raised and left unanswered in this essay are fantastic. You covered just about everything there is to say about that cover. I did something slightly similar in my series "The Secret Life of the Album Cover" in my journal some time back, and yes, you can really only guess at what was going on, both in the artist/photographer's mind and that of the band themselves, but you certainly gave it a whole lot more thought and did a far better job than I did on the ones I featured.

Excellent job, and yes, you should definitely write a journal. We need you over here!
