How could they not notice it?! Because it's a little mint.  It's a Junior Mint!

I just saw it. I gotta say, I don't love it. Looks like something I did in Photoshop. And I wouldn't consider myself to have an eye for things.

Agreed..looks like they want the album cover to be 60's hippie style.

i like it, they didnt try to be to fancy and make a cover to technolgically advanced, Scott said it was a back to the basics record, and i think the Artwork says it all

kind of hate it, but it's not a big deal. As said, all about the music.

I immediately thought of the cover of the Beatles 'No 1.' album.

I like how they kept the fleuron though.
Dedicated. Disgusting. Disturbing.

I'm just sittin' on this merry-go-round, and the music is too loud..

I actually flat out hate it and I love/like almost everything STP decides on. It's very bland and almost puts me on the edge of thinking its just corny. Oh well, once the music is playing who needs an album cover right? :)

If they used this cover with their last album, they could at least say that the V stands for five (fifth album). It's a weird cover...I would of never imagined it. I was never really that enthusiastic about the fleuron thing anyway.

I would have been much more impressed by it if it was a middle finger.

Of course, it's the music that makes the album and the cover will look better to me if the music is good.

I like it... though I agree, looks hastily made in photoshop.. and it coulda been very cool if they incorporate VI in there with the hands, I guess that would get rid of the peace sign though.
