I was looking at Matt Varnish's website, the guy who did the layout for zeitgeist and found this:

How that got canned in favour of the current cover is beyond me...

What? Granted, I might have phrased my words better, but Billy hardly has a great track record when it comes to these things

Isn't this the inside booklet for the hard-copy? I think I've seen the artwork for the booklet and I thought it looked like this.

:erm: you think that one is better than the other. cease caring.

If that's indeed the inside-booklet then pardon me, I fucked up. Didn't dig the tunes, didn't buy the EP. Untroo, I know.

Still, I prefer those images to what they ended up using on the front

I thought it said in the booklet that Billy did the photography. But the pictures are the same on that website as in the booklet.

So maybe... Billy took the pictures, this guy did all the cool effects? I don't understand. Billy probably lied and had nothing to do with the photography.

But maybe this Matt fellow specializes in altering photographs as opposed to taking them? I dunno much about the man.

basically it's just two washed out photos of things that normally have very bright and saturated colors. the regular american gothic cover just looks dumb. the music contained was not nearly as scary and not nearly as dark as that artwork.

Warner had final approval on the AG packaging. So said Billy (in a not-so-pleased-way).

Although he probably would have just chosen a cartoon rabbit humping a red white and blue swan.

Thanks, Alanis.

I don't like either version, but they still should have canned the other one. Sheesh.

I like the rejected art way more, but it reminds me a little too much of old sp - you don't want to have SP2 in the same canon.
