As anyone is of course discussing the music on MB (my opinion after now nearly 15 listenings: 2/10), I'd like to give my opinion as well about the cover design. The overall stale taste of MB fits together with a more than uninspired design of the cover: seems to me as if a new Photoshop user tried to make use of lots of images, filters and layers. The result is a childish image with nearly no reference to the music at all. Why put a Tubular Bell on it, when there is just one simple clang (in the worst track from MO ever? Why even call it the Millennium Bell?...
The carelessly typography adds a more unprofessional touch. This could have been done by any computer user in the world. And the text, though he tries to explain the deeper meaning of each track, still leaves a press release touch, which seems unnecessary to me on an album by such a major artist. Why are there no lyrics from the tracks, such as "Sunshine..."?
No, Blue Cactus: nice try, but don't try again. This could have been better by far.
