Ok, we are talking about different types of bad than, the logical technical bad, and the inside of rages subjective head bad. Riggs work only fits into the latter, as he is skilled at the digital imagery on technical levels.

Riggs' submissions expecially for Strato to me were very defining for that era in tha band. I mean he really emplified the Infinity to relate that to Strato. In my opinion the Polaris cover and its creator have done that as well. Who knows it may define the next few Strato releases as effective as the Fleur was when the band first introduced it......... :evil:

Yes, the Rigg's creations were very very defining and imo, great creations.

Polaris cover is another great creation, and fits a lot with Stratovaius and all the things we are gonna find now.

Either way I think we can all agree that the new cover kicks much ass

Yes, it seems, the photoshoot was great. I don't know how many photoshoots they made, but the pics are really good. Everything is going very very well, and it's gonna be better.

Plenty of samples can be heard in the Work in progress video.

I do hope that soon there is a place to get 1 minute sample clips of some songs like many record companies do, something like the chorus of each song would be brilliant but likely too much to release too soon. This will be cool when the video comes out.

I just completely loved the new Stratocover. To me it brings an old feeling of a band we hand´t seen for long. Can barely wait to listen to it all. Long live Stratovarius! 8)

Nice!! I'm looking forward to hear any previews! I, at least, hope that it's better than the self-titled album in 2005. *sigh*

Also, the cover is probably the best since Infinity and Elements Pt.1

I actually had no problem with the self titled album, it was different but it still sounded like stratovarius to me

Indeed. It wasn't that bad. I liked it more than the Elements Albums.

I have to disagree with you on that ......Now do not get me wrong just an opinion but even though I love the covers to E1 and E2, I think that Polaris kicks it up a notch and really blows your mind. But like I said just an opinion....... 8)

I wasn't saying they were better or worse, it was just my opinion that they were in sort of the same vein that's all. :)

Jens, does the 7" Edition that comes with the Special Edition have the good cover art, or the boring cover art?
