Yeah I did hear it. I remember thinking it was good, but like most SB material it's "just" good and I don't feel any need to go back to it any time soon.

Working with Hypnosis, Genesis have had some incredible covers for their albums. Which ones do you rate highest? Of course, they don't have to be ones created by Thorgersson, but most of mine are. A few of mine:

I actually don’t like their album covers that much but I think Duke probably has the best. Lamb triggers my pleasure receptors because I know how delicious the Pavlov contents are

I like the way it tells the tale (trick of) of the album, with each of the songs represented by a drawing. I also like the kind of Victorian way it's been created, and the fading yellow background only makes it more authentic. But that's me.

I know it’s meaningful it just doesn’t please my eyes
