A punk or indie band that's into Roger Dean, perhaps? Christ, not every punk band is the ****ing Exploited, not every metal band is Manowar.

Well sadly this is probably as close to a fair un-trollish rebuttal I'll ever get from you.
I really think cover art should reflect the music and not the lyrics, and At The Drive In sure as bloody hell don't SOUND like Dali. And no you're wrong, people shouldn't be careless about their cover art, presentation is very damn important and you don't want to make something that is misleading to your audience. That's my own personal philosophy, if you don't like it thats fine, but I'm not taking unwarranted insults for sh*t like that, so stop being unnecessarly aggressive or I'm giving you an infraction.
