    There is something vaguely porno looking about the sleeve and style of lettering.
    All to the good I say!
    The "Attack" on the promo looks excellent.

        It looks very groovy and classic.

        I wish the album cover looked as good, the pic with the tommy gun looks so cheesy, fake, and unMorrissey.

        Recorded in L.A. huh? Isn't that a first?

          not convinced, I agree with quite a lot which has been said, the actual cover isnt bad, i can see the whole slightly porn/satin sheet/boudoir but i like that, what im not keen on is the font. Morrissey has always kept to a similarish sort of font for his name, ok some are different but we can see the old favourites. All the albums are practically the same apart from the viva hate reissue and the best of which as a pair are identical. These yellow retro 70's curls dont really work though.
            The way an artist writes his name becomes his sort of symbol emblem. Nirvana always stuck to the same font, their name instantly recognisable ( not comparing them in any other way the morrissey) morrissey had a similar thing up til now!

                    And it has not changed really since its inception.

                    The Attack label is part of the legendary Trojan Records family and released records by The Pioneers, Gregory Isaacs, The Upsetters, Big Youth and I Roy amongst many others between 1969 and 1980.

                            Morrissey, if you only asked, I would have provided expert graphic design. Not by me, of course.
