June 8, 200619 yr This thread is getting surreal ... Dancing Bananas .... Come on .. more guesses .... :rofl: What about "Give Me Just A Little More Time" or "All I Care About Is Boo" Now how would you feel if there was a song or an album called that 2nd one Trish? :)
June 8, 200619 yr I just find it very difficult to come up with titles. Frankly if I was a singer/songwrite I'd just call it after one of the tracks whose title/lyrics meant something very special to me. I think I'd trust Darius. For me, the titles of both albums were great but I disliked both covers.

Frankly if I was a singer/songwrite I'd just call it after one of the tracks whose title/lyrics meant something very special to me. I think I'd trust Darius. For me, the titles of both albums were great but I disliked both covers. Yes, I think that both previous titles were a sentiment Darius wanted to express himself at the time and I expect the next one will be too :) I didn't dislike the Dive In cover, so much as felt something about it didn't look quite right - I remember discussions taking place on the official site, as to whether he'd had a head transplant when it first came out :lol: When I first saw the Live Twice cover, I really, really didn't like it at all :( But I read a post, can't remember if it was by Denie or Battlecat now - think it was Denie, who said that the green background reminded her of surgeons - (like ER or something) and that got me thinking ... I thought about what Darius had said about the Doctors' prognosis for Booth and I looked at the album cover in sort of a new light and began to see it as Darius's (and Booth's) determination to defy that prognosis and do everything they could to overcome the cancer - that's just me and my deep thinking though and probably a pile of tosh! - but, me feeling that, made me warm to the Live Twice album cover afterwards :) Generally speaking though, I tend not to be overly keen on album covers which just have a picture of the artist on the cover - I'm not crazy about the previous two covers either Maria. I actually prefer the back covers of both Dive In and Live Twice, I really do like the reverse sides :D Edited June 8, 200619 yr by Secret_Song
June 8, 200619 yr I am not sure I can remember exactly what the album covers look like :wacko: I have them next to my poota, but obviously my main interest is in the music within, and I really haven't paid much attention whatsoever to what the cover looks like :rolleyes: I am not sure if this means I am not a true fan :unsure: Does it really make a difference to you ladies? Would you consider not buying an album(of anyone's music) simply because you didn't like the cover? I am only asking out of interest, to see what you ladies feel :)

Would you consider not buying an album(of anyone's music) simply because you didn't like the cover? I am only asking out of interest, to see what you ladies feel :) Does it eck mean you're "not a true fan" :D - it always intrigues me when people use that term, - I mean what exactly is meant by a true fan anyway? :D I also think the most important part of any album is the music too - and certainly, now that I know how much I generally like Darius's music, whatever was on the cover, it wouldn't stop me from buying a Darius album, of course not. The same would apply to anyone else's album, if I'm already aware that I like their music. I do generally take an interest in the album cover; sleeve designs; the music information; photoshoots; videos and any other artistic work to do with an album era and the artist as a whole though really - in the sense of how well does it reflect their music; the artist themselves; and whether it represents that album era /or convey a mood or sentiment well, or one that particularly appeals to me. I see that kind of creativity as being a part of the 'whole thing' when it comes to an album. The cover, I suppose, being something akin to the shop window - what does it say to you...? - do you want to go inside etc...? An album cover might be the first thing I see, which, if it appeals to me in itself, may then lead me to investigate the artist further, which may in turn lead to a purchase that I might not have made, had I not been attracted by the cover in the first place :) Or, it could be the thing that pushes me to make a purchase I'm wavering over - e.g. When I was a bit iffy about whether I really liked James Blunt's voice and was wondering whether or not to buy his album, the album cover and website design really appealed to me and it certainly played its' role in attracting me further down the purchase road :)

June 9, 200619 yr I found 'Live Twice' album cover did NOT attract my eye. If I hadn't known from the web that it was around, I'd have missed it completely - nothing was played on radio around our way.
June 9, 200619 yr I must admit, I never notice any other albums covers, if I think I will like the music and want to invest my hard earned cash in it - i will buy regardless of a cover design, having said that I havent bought an album or a single for a long long time now - excepting D's. I wasnt too sure about Live Twices cover - but to be honest I don't even keep my CDs in the cases if they are for playing, they are in one portable carrycase.

Nice bit of accidental post boosting :rofl:
June 9, 200619 yr I don't normally pay attention to an album cover as I normally know what I'm going in to buy beforehand!! ;) But, if I were browsing (as I used to when I were younger!!!), the album cover IMO needs to attract the attention, make you wonder about the music on there and somehow reflect the feel of the material on there.
June 9, 200619 yr Nice bit of accidental post boosting :rofl: Haven't you noticed, B.P? When a technical problem creates a double post the number of posts is the same for both. Have a look back through threads where it's happened and you'll see that it doesn't in fact boost posts at all.

So the question is, would you be drawn to either cover if you weren't a Darius fan, Sharon? I know I wouldn't give Live Twice a second glance if it wasn't Darius but I don't like those moody (sullen) pics of him. There were loads of more interesting shots from the New York photoshoot. IMHO the one with the yellow taxi or the one on the rooftop would have been more interesting covers.
