Remember this?
You guys hated it so much (sample: "It's kind of like splashing bleach in your eye"), Perry actually gave it a redesign! So compare and contrast the old Party art with the new, waiting for you after the jump.
No more Nuno! Can't decide if that's a good or bad thing. Graphic designers, let Perry know if you endorse this new and possibly improved iteration.

It is a shitty photoshop job. I know perry farrell thinks differently, but I don't understand how you could look at that and say "yep, that is exactly what I want potential buyers to see when looking through the albums at their record shop." It looks like one of those fake albums that they promote on SNL, like Robert Goulet's "It's a rap"

That is SO bad. It's like photoshop for beginners. That chick looks like a 40 year old
with pig tails. Yikes!

Is this Indian Zombie Smurf cover an example of irony? Unfortunately, no... Perry takes himself too seriously these days.

Exactly. This isn't an improvement, they just zoomed in on Perry.

The cover is just a visual representation of how bad the group is. Saw them at Coachella and I can honestly say it really made me miss Porno For Pyros. Awful group. Awful cover. Awful, awful, awful.

I think the most important mistake here is that they cropped out the tits? If your wife has a rack like that, what the point of putting her on the artwork if you're going to omit her breasts?

Please, Perry, keep the first one! It is like 10,000 train wrecks. My brain says turn away, but my eyes stay transfixed. Blue Perry, chick placed to look like she is kissing him, hideous fake clouds, a bunch of people where it looks like they took 100 pictures of each one and then picked the worst picture (what is with the guy on the left?). The hyper-cheesy lettering, "ultra-payloaded", shit man, I want this picture framed and put in my living room. Talk about a conversation starter. The person who did it is a genius, it couldn't get any worse, except maybe they could throw in a pink donkey with a midget in a white gorilla suit riding it.

Wow, look at that. It's like if shit barfed.

it looks like the cover of a really bad porno. Or a sci-fi cyberpunk romance novel. Either way, ew.

Alternative rock originator Perry Farrell has announced that the debut offering for his groundbreaking new rock project, Satellite Party, will be released on May 29th in an entirely eco-friendly, green form. With its revolutionary digipack made exclusively out of recycled paper, the packaging is an ambitious gesture in helping to promote a healthy, sustainable environment. Additionally, the disc in which Farrell’s propulsive music is featured on is carbon-neutral, with the estimated CO2 produced from its manufacture, shipping and packaging being offset by helping build renewable energy projects with NativeEnergy.
Also Jim Morrison sings on the album (really).

So, the album is going to suck, basically.

Jane's had three of the greatest album covers, like, ever. And now this? Say no to drugs, kids. And to Nuno.

I did hear that first single on XM... it was okay, but it made me pine for Porno For Pyros, which was... weird.

that album cover's so ugly, in class she sits next to everybody!
Score = 0
well, it's not WORSE like some of you are saying.. i mean, it is literally no where near as awful as it was before. however, this one, actually turned me away almost completely in regards to the music... the last cover, while deffinetly self-indulgent, at least had other things of which to focus.. the updated cover makes me think of only one thing: "All About Perry" ..not cool.

I especially like the thing that looks like a purple wolf kissing his neck, it's really a shame you that you can't see it well in the redesign.

Hahaha!! I saw them at coachella by mistake. It was probably one of the funniest things ever. Especially the song called satellite party or its abbreviated or something. Worst band of all time. But the rednecks loved it.

Word. Accidentally caught their "secret" show at SXSW, and it was pretty bad. I had no idea who the guitarist was at first, but was thinking, "Goddam. Can this dude possibly be any more of a wanker?" And then Perry said something to the effect of, "So Nuno... blah blah blah". And I suddenly realized, "Ah! Nuno Bettencourt!! It all makes sense now."

reading these blogs reminds me of hitler and his band of misinformed morons. the alvuhas some bright spots that none of you can even grasp. and iaince nne of you are musicians you should go back to listening to your lindsey lohan double live cds. the song AWESOME is so awesome and none of you are awesome so of course you arent going to get it. get this: dont be late for your job at mcdonalds tomorrow...they're abut ready to write you u for the last time. idiots...
