I think he was refering to the albums cover artist, not artist as in the band

I know what you mean but I just couldn't see it for some reason. Maybe I need to go back and listen to X&Y?

I mean the artist - as in the artist who done the artwork, of course I know who Live is I'll admit Live started getting really preachy all of a sudden but I've grown up with their music so my opinion on them is based around that as well.

Back on topic, here are another two:

Queens Of The Stone Age - Era Vulgaris GOOD
I just love this cover for some reason, it's absurd and quirky. I love the colour and the font they picked was perfect. Retro Neo-Psychedelia FTW.


Ja Rule - Pain Is Love BAD
How self-important is this cover? Well most rap album covers are but this just makes Ja Rule out to be this righteous figure, almost God-like. Can't stand him or this ****ty cover.

My favourite contemporary artist doing the cover Artwork for one of my least liked bands... to buy or not to buy.

"bear in mind"? is that like "bear with me"? or "bear hands", "bear arms" or "bear feet"?
