Hm, the cover is ok, I kind of like it...kind of simple, but good.
For me the cover's very important in a cd...honestly..I can't stand good cds with shitty covers...
Elements Pt.2 has one of the best covers I have ever seen.

Strato's best covers in my opinion are Fright Night, Visions, Destiny, Infinite and Elements pt.2. Twilight Time's cover is boring, Dreamspace's odd, Fourth Dimension's very good but something is missing, Episode's very good also, Elements pt.1 cover is boring and Intermission's cover is OK. Visions of Europe's cover is good too.
But the best album cover is Infinite. It's looks like freedom (and btw Infinite is the happiest album of strato :P ). Visions cover is the second.

On another note I think it would be great to see an album cover done by Mattias Noren from progart.com. The covers he makes are by far the best out there IMO. I just relized that he did one of Koltipelto's covers. But he has to to be one of the best graphic artists out there.

Hö, I think it´s the greatest cosmic cover of them all. It´s not too difficult, but it´s quite a real. So, I find it very great. The new looks very refreshing and I have to say that really kicks ass. 8)

That new cover is actually very cool - and simple.
I like it... as I like the album also... damn, it should be out sooner! :P

By the way, I read from the album booklet that the cover of the new album is made by Mattias Noren for ProgArt. > The same guy who made the Kotipelto´s Coldness-covers!

Why not to keep giving this honour to mr. Derek Riggs?
Why to change the cover designer?
He made so GREAT covers for Infinite, Elements and even IWTMOS ep!

Derek Riggs had the perfect ink for Stratovarius concept.
I still like this new concept, but I'll miss Derek Riggs. I will!

Shit. I managed to made one post in vain. Sorry I was too excited that I had forgotten to read your old post above. :wink:

Errr, you mean, that this is not the new cover? Or what?

Ehm, are you some kind of ironic or what? Of course this is the real cover.

By the way, why you have to use bolded colored text? It may harm reading the forum. :roll:

The colour should be: Black or if not, then nothing (no postings at all).
