New Lordi Album Cover

The Lordi album art was unveiled today. It kind of took me by surprise. It's either very cool or very very bad. I still haven't decided. It kind of reminds me of the "Ladies Room - Made In Sex" album cover. Anyway, I'm definitely buying the CD.

Actually, I think maybe he should have made the single the album, but only time will tell. What do you think?

I actually quite like both of them. They're silly but the art is well done and it's all in tone with Lordi. However, the text - especially on 'This Is Heavy Metal' - is unforgivably bad.

Don't really like the album cover but it doesn't really matter.

I don't think it's a great album cover. But the music will hopefully make up for it.

LOL Both were really bad!

At least they're more original than yet another band photo though.

Didnt care for either actually.

It's true. Maybe Mr. Lordi needs a vacation. On the flipside, the new song is excellent.

Actually, do you think they will be able to use that cover in the states. It might be considered too graphic even though it is animated. They might have to hide it in a slip cover.

in this day and age i dont think they will have a problem...

cover is like Born Again of new century

If they're going to try to use that cover art in the states, I bet it gets a slipcover. This is the same country that put a black wrapper over Andrew WK's "I Get Wet" album because he had a bloody mouth.

You guys had I Get Wet censored? But it's such a great cover, I have a giant poster of it on my wall

Yep. Everything but the title was under black cellophane.

That cover certainly won't fly in any Walmart store. For that matter, are any Lordi albums available in Walmarts? I'm not a fan of the band or the store, so I wouldn't know.

As for the covers themselves, eh, they aren't bad I guess. Seems to fit the Lordi image they go for.

I didnt think any of the past studio album covers were all that bad. They were monster pics.

The Walmart near me had one Lordi cd at one time. They had it for what seemed like forever. Don't know if anyone ever bought it or not.

Hmmm, in the "This is Heavy Metal" I can pick put Blackie Lawless, Dee Snider and Nikki Sixx...Any other ones missing?

Both are kinda stupid, I liked their other covers more.
