Ugly, yes, in a good way.
Wonder what it symbolizes?

I mean ugly in a bad way. It looks terrible.
They should let their fans design the cover again. The Cover of United Abominations was awesome!

Say what you will, I think it's not ugly in a bad way.

I like the style, the colors, and even the logo fits well.
Say what you will, part 2, but I think United Abominations might have been the best Megadeth album... ever? Or since CtE anyway. I'm looking forward to Endgame.

Its apocalyptic. I guess it is meant to be kinda ugly and depressing. It does get the point across. Reminds me somewhat of that 1984 Apple Superbowl Commercial.

Kinda Orwellian.
I know that was before the time of most people here, but I think miditek might know what I am referring to!
YouTube - 1984 Apple's Macintosh Commercial

Especially note when all the lookalike guys come marching in.....

Yeah, me too, that's the kind of depressive anticipation stories, with all humans formated and identics, and denatured!
Through the storms we've wandered
Many mountains we have climbed
But all the bad times are behind
The road is free - I'm coming home

It's about the New World Order people. Dave has sung about it in the past too. Probably the most famous "conspirace theorist" Alex Jones has made a documentary film called Endgame. Coincidence? I think not. Personally I think this stuff is great material for songs.

Yes, actually most of Megadeths albums are based on the conspiracy theory theme. On a VH1 show several years ago Dave said he was interested in that kinda stuff. Many, many of Megadeths songs are apocalyptic in nature.
Off topic: Megadeth was the cult leader, David Koreshs favorite band. Nuff said.

United Abominations was also a rip against the United Nations, wasn't it?

I thought so too the first time I read "United Abominations". I think it is, yes.

of course it's from the united nations, it's social commentary on it.
