Title: Wu-Tang Clan - 8 Diagrams Cover

Hmm, now this is definitely not what I expected, especially from such a well established group. After all, this is their comeback so that's another valid argument as to why the 8 Diagrams album cover should be better. Come to think of it, their only tight album cover (as a group) was their first one (36 Chambers) but it's the music that counts the most & I'm pretty sure the Wu is gonna be on point when it comes to that.

that has to be fake... or they will be getting sued by Lost, they've just jacked the Dharma logo and put the Wu-Tang logo on top...


still anticipating the album though, regardless of the cover.

A Lost/Dharma ripoff (I have to admit though, I don't know anything about Lost) with the eight trigrams of the I Ching inside of them... If this is what they mean by 8 diagrams, that's an embarrassment to all intellectual depth the Wu have ever claimed to possess.

Let's be real though. Look at the way "8 Diagrams" is written on that cover. There's no way this'll be the official cover. It's too cheap a piece of imitation.

Well it's even on their myspace page so I wouldn't be calling it fake.

I thinks it's fine otherwise, but the red "8 Diagrams" text looks cheap as fuck.

The music is what matters though.

Sorry but no, check it out: http://www.myspace.com/wutang (http://www.myspace.com/wutang). On the left you can see the promo pic which is almost identical to the cover & on the right when you click on their new songs that exact same cover appears except the Wu logo is gold instead of gray/silver.

Well, they could be just online promo posters. I certainly hope so.

I didn't say it would affect the quality of the music... I just said I hope a lack of creativity in the artwork design doesn't match with a lack of creativity in the music. The two could be interlinked, you know.
