Admittedly I'm working from a position of bias, since my best friend subjected me to far more Dream Theater than anyone should be harassed with when I was in college. (By which I mean "more than one live version of 'Flight of the Bumblebee.'" Yes, yes, hella sick drumming, dude. Can we get back to listening to Snoop now?) I'm sure "ants crawling on a stoplight with a portentiously Photoshopped orange sky behind it" has some sort of deep political/social subtext that I'm not quite grasping. Perhaps any Dream Theater fans in the audience can enlighten us. (Tip of the hat to tipster Lucas Jensen for pointing this one out and forcing me to remember the days when I was made to listen to Marillion albums during roadtrips.)

OMG Marillion. Um, did we go to the same college and hang out with the same dudes in the dorm?
Is it just me or does every Dream Theater song sound like the soundtrack to a bad 80s action movie?
I think we could have just assumed these guys would be in the running for Worst Album Cover Of The Year as soon as they announced the release.

No way in the world this is near as bad as the "bullet-grill" guy. Unless someone wants it to be because they are thoroughly intimidated by DT's chops.
Damn, those are big-ass ants!
Based on what I remember from 7 years in a "wrecka stow", the Limited Edition of any given album usually has artwork that is somehow related to the artwork for the regular release of the album (like a close-up detail of the regular art, or some special packaging, like liquid crystal or denim, that relates to the album title or band). This artwork might make more sense when the regular artwork is revealed.
Of course, that doesn't stop it from being weird...I'm just sayin'.
