    The image is obviously a biting social-commentary on immigration reform.

    I should point out that I think people are taking the "best art we've ever done" quote by Mike a little too religiously. Just like people seem to love to twist Adam/the band's words around as well to mean something they originally didn't.

    People need to start taking things with a grain of salt. There is no conclusive proof that Mike meant the album art when he made that remark (he could've meant the promo art/the art inside of the book) and to use Mike as an outlet for your frustrations over the album cover is a little too drastic.

    I wasn't too thrilled over the cover either when I saw it, but it's growing on me. I suggest people take a step back and just relax. It's an album cover. Even if it was just a plain white space (like The Beatles' White Album) I wouldn't care as long as the music sounds good.

    Mike could've painted a bad ass painting...but if the music sucks, it makes no difference. And that's why people just need to relax. A controversial choice for album art isn't going to bring the end of the world.

    I agree 100%, i think i liked the Catalyst picture the most, but i kinda believe or want to, that is not un-emotional this picture. Because Mike is a genious, and Hahn has also his very nice artworks, and they are real Artists. I would like to see the full album tho, maybe it can be enjoyed even more through the booklet or the back side of the cover.. who knows, maybe is not even completed yet, without having seen Everything.

    It's sort of judging a book by it's cover in a way. We don't know anything about the story, or what's inside of it and until we do, we probably won't fully understand the cover. People are basically basing their opinions on aesthetics right now, which is fine if people want to do that, but I'll wait until I've seen and heard the whole experience.

    Less than 2 weeks ago actually.
    A lot of that art they've been working on will likely be in the booklet. They've actually been writing the music to visual art, it'll be there. I predict some people (possibly myself included) pointing out pieces in the booklet saying "this woulda been much better as the cover":)

    Yes I would absolutely love a double chocolate chip muffin and a glass of milk! Thanks dude :awesome:

    i think the cover is okey. i like it better than mtm but i did not expect it to turn out like some thing like thta. i agree its probably some kind om blast. atomic bomb maybe. you guys have probably noticed this but. i dont know if its my tv or something (im on my ps3 writing this) but when i almost closes my eyes and then opens them while looking at the picture. it actually looks like the black colours are moving. and if i repeat it with my eyes it realy looks like the picture has been captured in a moment when a bomb explodes. i think this pic is playing a trick with our brains when looking at it. or maybe it is just me(sorry for bad english)
