. Especially when you see the close up of it. But hey, I wouldn't care if the cover were a picture of a scaling fungal skin infection. It's the music on the CD I care about, not the packaging. And from what I've heard the music will be brilliant .Scaling fungal skin infection
you're sooo the only person who'd say that.Anyway, I'm just having alot of problems with ordering this! It keeps giving me an error of sorts and then I got an email saying this is your order, etc., and there's NOTHING in the order! Argh! I did email them to see what's up, though.

Sorry, I was studying my dermatology notes at the time and was inspired (hmm... inspiration from tinea pedis... I'm not twisted at all... ). Hmmm maybe you're having trouble because of your computer? Maybe there's some program or antivirus thingy blocking it? Maybe try ordering it on another computer? Haha hopefully those transaction aren't going through, otherwise you'll end up with 33 copies of the album on your doorstep
. I guess you'll find out when they email you back

Why would I want a whole bunch of other acts with my Vines album?
No thank you.
No thank you.
I don't think it's actually "on" the album, they just give it to you free for buying the vines album.

To me using Paint is totally professional
QUOTE(MisplacedKeys @ Jun 13 2008, 06:16 AM)
It's a big step, going from the effective simplicity of VV cover to this, but I kind of like the cover, I think the perspective is fantastic, as well as how the photos blend in with the green background. What it bothers me, though, is the colors and the contrast - it's too inconsistent. For example, the centre photos of Hamish and Ryan would need more contrast and less brightness; on the other hand, Brad's centre pic needs quite some desaturation to match the other three.
I totally agree.
Yeh and I will go further ...
what about the importance of accessoires? The Vines wanted to show an other side of their work, see Sunglasses on Craig's face and hats on Ryan and Brad.
the abondance of green represents in a way the "hope" of a brand new day for the band, but also that Hamish is accesoiresless, no sunglasses, no hat, just face and hair like all the human beings, they wanted to show that even if they're a rock band with "rock stars" there's a part of humanity...
This cover is simply brillant for all the interpretations innit
ordered mine. not too fond of the cover either, but it's a new album, so i couldn't give a rat's turd. 
one question, as i can't find a conversion table or anything, anyone know how much $30.99 (aus) is in GBP?
EDIT: I reckon the band should sign it to us personally on account of supposedly so few people buying it?

I still don't even know if my order went through ...I emailed them and of course they tell you they'll reply within a day or whatever...doesn't happen! Urgh. I don't know if I should just try to order it again...

this cover proves how creative and artistic the vines can be

I've come to really like it as well. It looks way better closer up. People might talk about it not looking "professional" or "polished" or what have you, but I doubt it was their intention for it to be so. In my opinion it's just got this integrity to it...
is that really the cover? 
i like the center photo, but all the things
that is around the photo are kinda ugly
i hope they change the cover

Okay, so I was ordering it and everything was going well. I was happy with the shipping rate to Asia/Pacific, which costs only around 3 dollars. But then the devastating part...I scrolled down the list of countries and they don't even ship to my fucking country, Taiwan!! What did I do to deserve this?

Same here. Love the photos but the stuff circling them is too much. I know I'm not to judge it before I actually own it (if that ever happens considering that I live on this shitty little island that ships evidently forget to harbour ), but I somehow think that the album art just isn't quite consistent with its title. Melodia can be so much more beautiful than that methinks.

Woah! There's no need for language like that
. From the content of your post I assume you've heard the whole album? Or are you basing your criticism of the new album on one song? 
If you don't like the album, then that's fine, different people have different musical tastes. But to call Craig a c*** because he dared to write a song you don't like...
Grow up.

Somebody needs to take their own advice and get off the meds or whatever you're on. Though, I doubt that will make you any more tolerable as you are, by the sounds of things so far, a stupid cunt yourself.
Yeah yeah I like the album cover, its like a modern version of some old school shit.
thumbs up from my end. I think its smart to put the band on the cover its more eye catching.

Yay! Those lazy asses finally replied to me to say to replace my order. And I'm glad that I had to re-do it because I was going to have it delivered to the US seeing as I will be there, at my parents house, from July 1-21st and then I realized it takes 2-4 weeks delivery internationally! So I just put it down to go to my Sydney address now. Much better move.
AWESOMEEE pre-ordered mine from hmv
One more week! .. but if the estimated dispatch date is the 11th.. and that's a friday and nothing gets sent on the weekend .. oh well a few more days shouldn't hurt
