I like this whole black and luminecent blue that's going on here, what with the EV sleeve scans and now this.

There might be a possibility that the logo and album name were added on, it could be just the photo as the album cover, like escape velocity. Just speculating..

It's like Elektrobank meets Dig Your Own Hole. Pretty interesting.

I like it a lot, but I think I would have come up with something different and better....but a I am in school to be a graphic designer and my dreamiest project would be designing a Chemical Brothers layout.

I feel the color tweaks diminish the white/black distinction that I previously mentioned as similar to DYOH, and it also diminishes the blue glow emanating from her arms, which are similar to EV 12" cover as Whitenoise pointed out.

I like the high contrast of of the picture and luminescent quality that eminates from the subject. It's a cool, simple yet powerful.

That said I like souphead's take on the picture. I think he should go one step further and go Warhol by using multiple color schemes on several pictures to create one Further fan masterpiece. Really! That would be rad!

I take back my "this reminds me of the test" remark, since I am self conscious about asserting myself as the anticonformist, haha. But actually this kinda looks like it could be one of the photos in the booklet for DYOH, it has that charm to it, we're going full circle.

I am in love with this cover, completely blown. WOW.
I almost thought it's a visual from the Test at first glance too - just love love this! I'm going to frame an LP cover n put it right next to my desk. :-D

I don't know why, but i don't think this is the official cover. I think it's because, if you look at all the other covers, they are all quite graphic images (except for EPD). This to me looks more like a SINGLE cover.

Nontheless, i think it's beautifull. It's a very powerfull imagine.

And yes, it reminds me of the test :P

I really, really like this cover. It's image has been burned into my brain since I viewed it earlier. I found myself showing it at work to some people that have no interest in The Chemical Brothers or my personal music choices in general, but everyone agreed it is a pretty sweet piece of album artwork.

It started a re-hash of the new school vs old school conversation regarding buying individual mp3s vs buying a complete physical album. In my opinion, there are so many reasons to own a tangible full album (CD), and outstanding artwork is certainly one of them. However, this time, instead of sounding like an old dude rambling on about the inner sleeves of ancient Pink Floyd and Genesis vinyl albums, I was able to wow them with something modern and relevant.

I mentioned in a previous post how the Brothers' previous albums and singles really tie together nicely as a "brand" for each era. As with everything else about this release, I am very excited to see what is coming next....
Gonna work it out...

I love it. I hope this is the official artwork cos it's brilliant. As many have said already, it references so many things Chemical from the past... the Exit... and DYOH artwork primarily and I have to agree also the Test video. Wicked stuff :)

I've chosen to not sell out though ;-) and gone with the Surrender cover as my av! Ha-ha

It's official. It's on HMV, iTunes and Amazon. Too many websites have this image.

Anyway, it's ridiculous that the official CB site can't confirm this damn cover....
