Okay. So let's discuss a few topics. Album Covers + Martketing + Regional Packaging.
In particular the new album cover artwork drawn by Niklas Sundin of Dark Tranquillity.

Ha! I remember 69 Eyes. They definitely had some raw / sleazy album covers. Never really got into them though. But you can always find a CD by them at the used record store that I frequent.



Ha ha ha ha! That's just hilarious!

For myself:
BAD COVER but great music:


I've actually been revisiting this album A LOT recently. And now that it's been reduced to nothing but a burned CD in my music folder- I appreciate it 100 x more than when it is accompanied by THIS odd choice of cover art.

GREAT COVER but bad music:


Now granted Dream Evil went on to make two epic albums right after this one, but wow did they certainly misunderstand the construction of a "concept album". The songs are all over the place with very little focus. They attempt a storytelling about a dragonslayer who loses his life taking on the impossible quest, but by the end of the CD it's all about heavy metal jesus and cliche nonsense.
