i dont really know what it is about this cover that i hate, but i do. i have no idea what it is and it has nothing to do with the album. i greatly prefer the alt cover. i know this is in no way the worst cover ever, but it may be mine personally just because the album is in my top 3 of all time.
Can't stand the strokes but I really like this cover
Nathaniel Reed
certainly not the best, but Outkast's 90s album covers are god awful
Christopher Howard
pretty sure that its a colorized picture of tiny particles being smashed together in something akin to the particle accelerator at CERN or FermiLab. like others said though, thats not the original art
anyway i have a million bad album art examples (angles, also by the strokes comes to mind) but this one honestly tainted the way i see the album. its a good album.
i feel like this cover gets better when you appreciate what it's actually a photo of
Ian Cook
the picture's alright, but it doesn't fit the album at all.
John Cruz
after a little googlin i see that its actually from something called a bubble chamber
>A bubble chamber is a vessel filled with a superheated transparent liquid (most often liquid hydrogen) used to detect electrically charged particles moving through it
