If you think that is bad, wait until that cunt Billy Corgan releases his solo album. I'm sure it will include a dvd of him reading his poetry to 14 year old girls. + an 8 x 10 b&w glossy of his mug.

pop and october both have better covers. this one looks like they wanted to acheive the 'look' that most people associate them with. i think october was more about the background than the band members in front, and pop was remiscent of the andy warhol mass printing era of art, which i believe compliements the music on the album. this cover just makes me think, 'hey, it's a cd about u2'. it detracts from the title and the overall feel that i'm sure the album'll have.

I think it'd be cool if he put a picture of his anus on the cover and called the album "Lick It!"

And I don't agree. But does this cover look generic? Yeah, but what does everyone expect?

The DVD contents are listed on the collector's edition.

1. Making Of The Album
2. B Roll In Studio (whatever that is)
3. 4 Acoustic Songs

The DVD will come with the deluxe edition as well, which will be cheaper than the collector's edition.
