Originally posted by LikeASong:My point is: like it or hate it, at least this cover is something apart of the usual stuff, it's something to talk about. Exactly the same as the album it contains: like it or hate it, at least they've gone and done a bold album that deviated from what they were doing previously. That's why the cover is great in itself (besides the meaning, the art quality of the photo, etc etc) - because it goes along well with its album's qualities and feelings.

Comparing showing tolerance and respect for a photo and showing tolerance and respect for an opinion is comparing apples and oranges, but since you asked...
We're being far more tolerant and respectful towards your opinions than many of the negative opinions on here towards the photo and towards the band. The equivalent to "I'm obviously going to buy it, but I will turn the booklet inside out, as I simply don't want to see this picture" in this regard would be "I'm obviously going to read the forums, but as a crew member I will edit out all the opinions on the cover art that I suspect might be homophobic or intolerant". You see?
Cheers.
