Not my favorite, but I think it is cool Will chose the cover of the family going to their death over the falls. A bit of shadow to the group.

I was going to post the same thing! Worst Bunnymen cover ever!

Maybe it did epitomize how they felt after all the drama of being dropped by the label, Les leaving and Will's ill feelings toward the Mac-centered WAYGTDWYL. I still hate it, it broke with tradition.

In keeping with the album itself, their poorest by far in my opinion. :eek:

best for me was HUH. I love the story that I heard how it was done. They were throwing fish guts and stuff to get the gulls to swoop down. These days that would have all been done digitally.

HUH always gets voted best cover. I don't get it, because there really isn't much to look at on tha cover, IMO. Porcupine for me. It fits the album just right. I especially like the green writing: just the right color.

Shades of blue over shades of white, I'd guess. All four covers really fit all four albums.

Mine's "Crocodiles" because of that bunny tree we've all talked about before. Also, Mac looks like he's completely lost his mind on the back cover.


I saw "Jesse James" with Brad Pitt last night and noticed the resemblance to that "Flowers" cover when Casey and Zooey posed in that boat.

Also, I didn't know Nick Cave was in the movie!

what is Mac doing on that back cover?

there appears to be something inside the bunny tree's "eye" ... Echo, or the bunnygod, maybe?

porcupine all the way. best album, best cover. Ocean Rain is pretty bitchin' too.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

Crocodiles!

Mac does look like he might be doing something erotic on the back cover!

Gotta be Porcupine - though I'll take the iconic nature of Songs... over all the others.

Also a big fan of the Crystal Days art...
