The single - nasty nasty cheap shoddy lazy piece of disappointing tat from a band thats had such iconic covers. Is the fountain in question the one in Central Park NYC? Jesus even a moodily lit photo of them on location a la Crocodiles or Evergreen would have been better than this dross that looks like it been knocked up by some bored 13 yr old. I 'll take that back as I have a nephew that age who I know could have done better. What the hell is goin on? :question:

Did you see the Think I Need It Too cover?
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

I thought it was pretty inventiv. It is called The Fountain and there is a picture of a fountain.

Like if Ocean Rain had a picture of an ocean and rain.

The album - well its not great but at least its ok in a basic way.. font / image / colour.. simplistic? minimalist? frig knows, I'm no graphic designer. The single - them floatin heads are shockin. To be fair it seems like all the budgets gone into the new website which at least looks half decent. Whoever sanctioned these covers would be well advised to reflect upon having overseen the nadir of the bands visual representation. Bad clanger that one!

Not to nit-pick, but isn't the new album entitled "THE Fountain"?

As was I. Look at the official advertisement/button on the home page of VT.

Bet those who paid 79p for the TINIT download on the day of release are kicking themselves now it's being given away free. You could have bought a handful of those new caramel chunky kit kats from Somerfield.
