Lemon Blood 371 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I think objectively I prefer the special edition cover, but the bike cover makes me feel nostalgic because it was the first Gaga album cover I ever saw. And there’s something about the metal on the bike that I find really satisfying so I give it my vote 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAIPEI 2,851 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) the face one, also i think this would be 100% perfect for cover from entire photoshoots (imo) alternative for this one ⬇️ Edited January 3 by TAIPEI 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneaky Oliver 22,534 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 12 hours ago, elijahfan said: It really is crazy that out of the thousands of pictures taken during this shoot, they ended up choosing for the album cover what anyone else in their right mind would have left on the cutting room floor. Just a spur-of-the-moment, unframed, almost accidental shot of her getting back up from posing on the floor. And yet, her facial expression totally encapsulates the raw energy, passion and craziness of the album. It's not posed, it's taken halfway through a movement, which makes it so dynamic and exciting. That's one hell of a face expression, and I totally get why they disregarded the numerous technical flaws of the shot and got out of their way in postproduction to make it work. All of this is why I wish they would have kept the original photo, ofc with some sort of edition but it captures the essence of the record I never really disliked the motorbike version, I think it made sense at the time but looking at it now, it feels kinda random and lacking an overall context because BTW is more known for dark pop bops instead of the old classic rock and roll vibes she was giving then Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elizabeth 677 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 No shade but if you prefer the close up rather than the bike I kinda think you're boring 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanna shintuyu 11,324 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Bike, since the release. The face always felt like a compromise Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agunimon 267 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) I got the deluxe when this came out. I did think it was nicer. I liked what they did for the typography. I actually like the bike idea, especially retrospectively knowing she continued with that through in the tour, but that font is atrocious and back when I bought records, I would always get the deluxe from artists I followed. Why would I buy something with less songs? Edited January 3 by Agunimon Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember exactly but I adored the colours Wasn’t that the reveal for the ARTPOP cover? We have forgotten our public MANNERS Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like, if anything, Gaga is appreciated for her camp sensibility now more than she was then. I also think that, regardless of the “darkness” of anything on BTW, it’s all both undoubtedly hamfisted, camp, and also heavily influenced by the over-the-top rock roots she was pulling from (Meatload, Judas Priest etc), We have forgotten our public MANNERS Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
