It's different....now it looks like one of those red imperial guards from star
wars, in front of a wall with a ....castle?? in the background. What the hell
is this?

Looks like the same icon that's been up for about a week to me... side view
of a guy's head with the muscles showing.

yeah. i was looking around at one of their links and realized what it was last
night....it's some guys art that is shows the veins/muscles/insides of the
human body.

not that great of art if you ask me. it looks like it's in crayons.

i didn't state clearly, but i was talking about that particular artists
website. it didn't strike me as being very good. a good idea, perhaps, but
notexecuted very well.

i'm sure tool did something creative with it. layers, eh? so you've seen
the artwork. should be very interesting.

i just went and looked at everything again. it doesn't impress me much, as
said before, good idea, good intentions, horrible execution. the paintings
are amateur-ish it seems to me.

have you seen the "performance" section? looks like some new-agers trying to
create something out of symbols, but have lost all actual relevance.

Sounds good Tyrone,
Any chance of another animated cover with lenticular case such as the first
run of aenima
or some other sort or cool gimmick?

No animated cover this time around... something else. The band is very excited
and happy with the way the artwork turned out for Lateralus...

i prefer make yourself. but there seems to be a pattern with me, with
the 1st cd i hear from a band bein my favorite by them. examples:
make yourself - 1st incubus i heard
aenima- 1st tool i heard
dirt- 1st aic i heard
white pony - 1st deftones i heard
sky valley -1st kyuss i heard
ten- 1st pj cd , they went downhill with each 1 after
ratm- 1st cd
core- 1st stp

the only exception i can think of for me is:
far beyond driven- 2nd pantera i heard

Layers! LAYERS!

<spoo!>

sorry, I just shot my wad. I swear I get as excited about great packaging as I
do music. That's what I get for being a graphic designer. My god, I'm
envisioning this insane fold-out booklet like something from one of those
encyclopedias with all the transparencies showing veins and muscles and bones
and you can flip them forward and backward into different combinations and, and,
and....

s.c.i.e.n.c.e. was the first incubus i heard. i had heard them in 96 at a
little club here in town. a few months later they came back through and
system of a down opened up for them. i went out the next day and bought both
CDs. their science album is soo fun and great. and to hear it live is
amazing. they prefer make yourself as well, i think. but science just has a
little underground feel to it, i just love that. make yourself is awesome
too, though. i really like track 11 (i miss you?). such a sweet sweet song.
yeah, i agree, dirt is their best...aenima is their best....far beyond
driven: best all around CD, but vulgar should have been made later, and it
would definatly be their heaviest album

Beating myself to a pulp
Extracting from my skull
All those things I've learned to live with
All those things I've loved
All these things are killing me
A perpetual fall from grace
But the hand that feeds
Is the hand that beats me
Fiercely in the face

it's funny you brought this up, justin. here's a story from my past i
reserve for times like these, when one of my favoritest tv shows is
mentioned in my favoirite newsgroup!

one day back in '93, i was biking along, ya know, just going with the flow,
checking out the roads and trails, waving to drivers and such. i took a
trail i hadn't dared to previously, knowing this was the day. i gained
speed and knew i wouldn't make it, but launched off the incline anyway,
pulling up very hard (too hard) on my handlebars. i crossed the ravine, but
i also landed on my back, and got the wind knocked out of me. as i
recovered, i reminisced, thinking of episode #4R34, when j, that wacky guy,
he goes to the circus and tries to do trapeze jumps, and lands in the crowd
and farts! even though i fucked up some discs in my spine, it was good to
have that laugh, ya know?

thanks for bringing those memories back, justin, i really do owe you one.
