Bad Album Covers - Awake by Dream Theater


I want to like this band more... They play like fucking rock gods! But I just can't get past the fact that they take themselves so seriously. It's like come on man, get over yourself already. A classically bad album cover complete with crazy, futuristic dream scape, Michelangelo style statue peering into a fancy mirror and who's that peering back?? A spider's web representing the song "caught in a web" wow that's original. NOT!

From wikipedia:
Cover art references:
Although not confirmed by the band to be an intentional effort, some elements on the cover art represent some of the tracks. Examples:

* Hour and minute on the moon, representing the song "6:00"
* The spider web beside the mirror, representing the songs "Caught in a Web" and "Voices"
* The big mirror on the ground, representing the song "The Mirror"
* The false reflection seen on the mirror, representing the song "Lie"
* The mirror's reflection in colour, representing "Lifting Shadows Off A Dream", and also the video of "The Silent Man"
* The old man, as shown on the music video, representing the song "The Silent Man"
* The night sky with the planet, representing the song "Space Dye Vest"
