This is the album cover off of Pearl Jam's latest album titled Backspacer. I picked this album cover for a few reasons. One being I like Eddie Vedder (minus his crazy political views) and Pearl Jam. The other reason is that this album cover is absolutely crazy. I don't even know what to say about it. You could write a paper on each little box. The colors in it are fantastic. They capture your attention instantly. Personally, it makes me think of space and all its mysteries. Another idea I get from the cover is Armageddon. This is a pretty broad word, but there are scenes of destruction all over the album cover. Scenes of fire, mushroom clouds, and a person drowning. This is pretty intense, and just adds to the unknown about this album cover. Perhaps the weirdest scene is the one in the center, at the bottom. It's a picture of a black man dressed up in a funk 70's suit sitting between the legs of a person with only underwear on. What does this mean? Who knows? I wonder if Vedder and co. even know what the album cover signifies. Also, the new album is pretty good.
