That C&C cover is relentlessly amateur.

I can't decide which of these should be on black velvet to hang in my living room.

What is Blake looking at anyway?

That doesn't make it better, trust me.

However, it just looks like the artist is stuck in the 70's. Therefore it wholeheartedly gets my vote.

Someone had to take special time and draw this C&C monstrosity. They put real, tangible effort into failing so bad. There were bad copies, rejected sketches, recolorings, and somewhere, somebody has the original acrylic painting of this, this thing.

My favorite today is the planets (?!) that are located inside the earthquake gash. Incredible. More people need to vote for Coheed and pull it through!

Same face I made when I heard the single! Heyy-oh!

Yes. That "dust cloud" wafting below the hero's ass backs up your point. Come to think of it, Blake's cover sorta looks like a gust of wind is blowing the fart-cloud past his nose, and he's making the "what's that smell?" face.

C&C, on the other hand, have let loose an eyesore for the ages.

Honestly though, I'm hard-pressed to decide. I think that I might have to forswear my previous loyalty to the K-Pax cover and go with the perspective-challenged Orson Scott Card hero. My reasoning? The earthquake gash is awkwardly placed, making it look like our intrepid hero let out a fart that could literally split the earth. And that just sort of makes me uncomfortable.
