Wouldn't surprise me if they appeared opposite the lyrics or something.

I'm sticking with it.

Sorry harm, but that art is pretty bad... :/

Awww, fuck. Come on PJ, where are your balls?!

So far, the only things I've been disappointed in with the new album is Future Days related.

Guys, the next time an image appears, please, please don't think of the coolest thing it could possibly be. A submarine? It's this "always imagining the best scenario" thing that opens up so much disappointment.

LOL yes it is. I got nothin' else in terms of a defense.

thats is pretty hideous right now. It is possible they add some more layers though

awesome a song we already knew existed.

I liked your spin on the graffiti though, good effort.

Yeah, but seriously, this is pretty terrible. When they showed the first glimpse if someone posted "There will be another face facing it. And a shared speech bubble coming from their mouths. With a heart in it." We all would've said "Haha, yeah right. It won't be THAT lame."

I really wish PJ went to another art direction than graphic vector illustration again.

I'm pretty sure there will be. The white spaces are blank for a start.

that's exactly what I thought it would be minus the heart. it's fine to me. it just looks like an M now, which has nothing to do with the song..

IF this is really (Our) Future Days and

IF it is really track 1

This will be one of the weakest opening tracks of any PJ album. Only consolation would be if it is the only cheesy ballad on the record.

P.S. - I think Ed's in lurrrvvv.....

I quite like the artistic style, actually; the block colours are pretty comic book. I still stand by that. It's just the actual elements of the image I don't like here, particularly the love hearts. Actually, only the love hearts.

...have you heard the song its attatched to? They'd need giant balls made if fire, iron and the sweat of a thousand vikings to swing the balance back.


Honestly I don't mind it much, its not like its the album cover and it could have been worse really.

The closest thing this band has as a logo is that ugly ass stickman after all.

If its track one at least its out of the way quick, and not the center piece of the album.

Just think of all the married Pearl Jam fans who will now get tattoos of this image with their names and the dates of their wedding underneath it. But probably with the faces changed to look more like Stickman.

I prefer their binaural/yield graphics. very sleek and modern.
