and it's waaay better than some of their previous. One would hope it'll sound like some kind of very far out, freak-rock, vaguely psychedelic affair. Instead, it will probably be the usual as-futuristic-as-falconry old rubbish.

have they got a new album coming out? I've already got some - can I be excused from this one?

This does look like one of the Coral's covers around the time of their debut. Is 'Come In/ Come Out' a La's reference?

Still - it's Oasis, plagiarism is good.

In response to the freak rock, psychedelic comments - have you heard this?

The cover looks well up to Oasis's standard (i.e. crap). I thought it was generally accepted that Oasis have hade their 15 minutes of fame? Let's move on.

that they couldn't actually get Peter Blake then? It reminds me of Frank Zappa's parody of the 'Sgt Pepper' sleeve, which I suppose is about par really.

competently done, usual cliched symbolism - one or two nice flourishes... you know where I'm going with this don't you.

tasteful.

...there's a new solo Jenny Lewis album in spetember as well. The new Verve one in August. Oasis in October.

Couldn't be happier with that

Zany, colourful, rich, strange.
Bet it still sounds like Burnage Job Centre on a wet Thursday.

........get wound up..........

Failing......

Keep forgetting that everyone here hates them

Just me.

what a great feature it would make if you interviewed them...

just a thought

shaping up to be the new Roger Dean?
Weller’s latest uses this device - to quite good effect, unlike this mess. I suspect Oasis noticed.

Wonder if they were influenced by Coldplay's decision to go with some real artwork.. ?

I'm bored to tears of collages that a 5 year old could snip out and pritt stick together - it isn't clever, it doesn't say anything except to the cutter / sticker, and frankly it looks like a mess.

They are obviously a little bit bashful about it too - they've forgotten to add their name to it.

It looks like Death May Be Your Santa Claus by Second Hand. And possibly some other grisly psychedelic abomination, possibly by Pearls Before Swine or someone like that

Maybe the cover is the art homework from Lennon or Peaches (I may have got the second child's name wrong). Most parents stick their offsprings doodlings on the fridge or mummy takes it proudly into work. Noel inflicts his kids attempts on an apathetic public.

is the picture in the bottom right part of this one?

if so here goes my metaphor the charge of the scots greys (at Waterloo) started off great in fact everyone thought they would sweep the french before them, but they went to soon were badly led had some impact but ultimately fizzled out and ran off into the distance. And with the benefit of hind sight weren't as important as they first appeared.

next stop why Kid A is like the battle of salamanca..

Okay, I get the joke. It is a joke, right? C'mon, stop messing about...

Erm, sorry, it's true.

I've run out of bad things to say about Oasis. The difference between me and them is, I know when to stop because I have nothing left to say.

I like it. Looks cheap and nasty, but in a good way. Reminds me of the excellent cover for Miles Davis' Bitches Brew album. If someone could do me the favour of posting said image as I don't know how to?

Cover is great, they are great and I'm sure the album will be great. Never ashamed to proclaim my love for Oasis.

Top left a little like the cover of 'Mind Games'? And let's not dwell on the half chewed Apple. It's probably just a freakish coincidence.

They're still trying aren't they. Just that little bit too hard.

Especially his Prodigy, Primal Scream and Stereolab stuff. And I must admit his Oasis cover is on first look, top drawer.

Best enjoyed on vinyl cover's I suppose, as always.

Hopefully the music is up there with the sleeve!

Here is some more of his stuff.

If the album is anything like the cover I´m out of here. Last one to leave please turn off the lights.

Wouldn't they be better just putting a picture of a plate of meat & potatoes on the front and be done with it ?

and the joie de vivre. Funny how Slade's titles had deliberate bad spelling but you knew what they meant. Oasis just stick to incomprehensible bad grammar - on purpose? We'll never know.
