[kj] Absolute Dissent (apparently) official artwork

[sade1]

> ..KJ covers I like on one hand.


Same here: KJ 1, Extremities..., L?INBO, and Pandemonium. I think they've missed 
some brilliant opportunities to supplement their recordings.  If I were a 
musician (oh god, here we go...) I'd scour my local artist community and see 
who's got something I really click with, put it on the cover and give them full 
credit, on the sleeve and in interviews. Seriously.

I guess if the artist and the band like it is what matters. Seriously not my cup 
of tea, though. I could also count the KJ covers I like on one hand.

It's got something going for it. The 'atmospherics/ambience' of it?  Maybe just 
the wrong artist got to it, or even more, it looks like they just needed more 
time to develop it much more.

Big piece of shit. Looks like some latter-day death metal album where you know 
it's not worth a listen just based on the album cover. Thank god the songs are 
shaping up.

I think my only concern is that your average John Q. Public isn't going to 
understand it. 

"Why does that crucifix have a life preserver on?"
 
etc.
