Wasn't there a different cover for strays? It looked like the background of the actual stray cover, but it was all red, and the band wasn't on it?

Yes, there was. I'm not sure it was official or if someone made it by compiling official artwork. All of the art was used as the theme for Capitol's Jane's website at the time.

Yahoo fails to mention that despite its rudimentary album cover, the majority of that Leonard Cohen album has the best music of his career on it.
They also seem to be oblivious to the fact that they're looking at the censored cover art for Amorica (which is the Black Crowes' best album)

I don't get the people not liking the cover at all... i don't have an issue with folk not liking it of course, but i don't really get why. It's far better than i ever thought it would be... it would have added something if the character (Perry) had a more pained look on it's face, but that's really my only quibble. I love all the bits and pieces, even if many are obvious.
But then i even dig the majority of the 20sec sound-clips, so i'm just in some kind of tripped out happy place for some reason!!! I'm sure it won't last!

For me, an album cover is a huge indicator for what the music underneath it will be like. I know its associating an entire book (album) by its cover, but it's true. The more colourful or elaborate the album cover, the more I'm going to associate that colourfulness to the music itself.
Perhaps it's just a sensory thing.

Fair enough!!! Gotta say that i think the over-sized cock is hilarious... the photo's a bit much but then images of his chicks on the record covers is hardly a new thing - but then yeah, we all pretty liked the previous birds!

Yeah, i agree with you 100%... but then i like the cover so it's not putting me off the content. I admit it's different and not exactly "edgy" but it's good enough - i was so, so dejected by Strays that this just feels infinitely better.

agree k-v. people think all negations are equal in nature. But I'll go on the record as saying: I hate the strays cover, this one is very ugly. just because one is 'better' doesn't make it good. It doesn't really mean anything at all.

i second those thumbs up. truth is that the article is pretty fucking stupid. it takes TGEA, which like most art, reasonable people can differ over, concludes its shit, and then compares it with some objectively silly album covers (which, by the way, are the ones that look most like Strays - just a photographer taking a posed shot of the band) -- Orleans, ELP, but then juxtaposes it with some iconic stuff that the writer just has a problem with (magical mystery tour) and other graphic art which is as subjective as to love/hate as TGEA. just stupid, really. some of the comments are a little funny though.
but holy shit, that leonard cohen album, cover notwithstanding, is some fucking great stuff.
