UK Cover of Exodus



Source: http://www6.islandrecords.com/utada/site/news.php


I like it much more than the US Version.

Thoughts?

Well I like it and don't. It fits the theme of Exodus and all but it does look kinda weird too especially her eyes.

i reckon it looks cool. the us cover was too... plain.. and weird fashion and just... cheap looking. this one looks cool, but to me it doesnt suit hikki since i know her first and foremost from her japanese work and that stuff is really... beautiful and spiritual. but it really fits her exodus album's image, i think

I like it too , the UK cover for YMMWTBM single is great also. that costume she's wearing is really cool , that collar is made of a bunch of zippers

^ That is a gorgeous cover! Doesn't exactly match with the song though IMO.

If the text didn't look so cheap, I think I'd like the EU one more.

I agree, I like the UK cover of Exodus better than the US.

I hadn't seen the YMMWTBAM scans before, they're interesting. Much better than the Devil Inside single look.

I really love the UK version of the single, but maybe not so much the album. My favorite cover is still Devil Inside. I love the hair. @.@

Is it me or does her face looks sort of distorted on the cover?

I like the US version better.

Her chin does look a little shorter than it should be... =\ Is her collar also covering her chin or was her chin airbrushed/erased slightly?

I like this cover but her eyes look a little scary. The US cover did look plain though, and they could've had a better image of her for the cover too because she looks scared.
