Although I like the Golem cover, I have to agree with whoever it was that said that it probably deserved something a bit more interesting and indicative of what the album was all about. I have a poster somewhere of BF dressed as the titular character holding some dead flowers and always wondered why that wasn't the album cover...
So I vote for Golem. |

The Golem
I understand Head Carrier getting voted out. I don't mind it, but it looks more like the back side of an album. Obviously this is in large part due to the choice of prominently featuring the tracklist, but the visual itself also lacks the kind of centering feature you would normally associate with a front cover. |

LOL. It was more of an oversight than a trick. And I've fixed it now.

| Nonstoperotik - the cover doesn't do a lot for me. Just looks like BF is confused/stretching/bored in each image. I don't know why they needed 3 images to convey whatever it is the message is. At least the Golem is kinda creepy looking and matches the theme - this cover does not scream non stop eroticism to me. |

I'm voting Christmass this round. I like Golem slightly more. Years before Christmass came out I thought to myself "Frank should do an album of Christmas songs," and I thought this was going to be it. The cover art and the title don't really fit in my opinion.
Early polling:
Golem - 3
Christmass - 2
NSE - 1 |

Hm, this is hard now.
I suppose NSE, as Christmass at least has lots of character. Sorry, NSE, nothing against you - you're a sleek little package. |

Thank you Maharal. And I agree Coastline, getting harder. I think I have a path to 2-3 more and then it's going to be very difficult!

I am voting Christmass again, which brings round 13 to a close with the following results:
B-Sides - 2
Svn fingers - 2
NSE - 1
Bluefinger - 1
BTE - 1
Christmass - 1
Farewell to two albums at once for the first time this game I believe.
Round 14 starts now, New Years Eve, and ends on January 2nd (all rounds have been around 48 hours long or so).
I wish everyone a happy and healthy 2021. Thank you to everyone who is playing Album Cover Survivor. Thank you Dean and Brian for keeping the forum going after all these years. Thank you Frank for making the music we all dig. I pray 2021 is the year each of us needs it to be. Happy voting.

Well, now I must choose between FMRM and DITS... no more easy choices. I think I'm voting DITS. :/

Christmass, I guess. This is painful now.

Agh...missed that last round. But am OK with Pixies Bside going although I quite liked SVN Fingers.
For this round I think I'll go NSE. |

Sorry about that Sprite. I'll try to make sure all votes are heard going forward.
Yeah, looking at the remaining Sweet Sixteen, it's hard to see one that is truly bad, although I continue to think Christmass is not great. That one, NSE, SMYT, and Oddballs are probably in my bottom four of these 16. I'll most likely be voting one of those tomorrow. Gonna sleep on it. |

First post of the new year, to update us on the current polling. I am voting Christmass again. From what I can tell the curren tally looks like this:
Christmass - 3
NSE - 1
Oddballs - 1
DITS - 1 I think?
Voting closes in about 24 hours, tough choices lay ahead for each of us. |
