I don't think I could have found a more perfect picture for the occasion...

Maybe they should use this as the new cover?

LOL really now, really?

As a thumbnail it is fantastic.

As a full blown up album cover it is atrocious. They have made Stevie look like a badly made up cover act, the expression on her face is soo blank - does not represent her feelings about the album.

It looks so pedestrian (not that horseriders need walk), especially since we know that despite her Australian conquests, Stevie is no equestrian.

I mean, just like Stevie regaled us by asking why all those chickens were there in CV, I can actually hear her wondering why there's a doggone horse next to her this time.

Of course, I wondered why they were all hanging around a barn in Little Lies too, but it did work in a strange way.

I guess I accept the horse as a remnant from centuries past and the mood he helps evoke.

I do love the childlike innocence of her expression and form.

Says the man who hates The Wild Heart album...
Coming from the man who always says this is a discussion board and all opinions, good and bad are welcome, I am suprised you would post a haters gonna hate picture.

Well I like to think of the horse in dream terms. It's white (pure, innocent) and phallic. Animals are usually a symbol for id or super-ego.

DashingDan · #**251** 03-08-2011, 01:08 PM

It's dreamy, lush, hippy-ish. It's very Stevie. Without the text it could be an 'indie' band cover. Also, I'm seeing an anime influence in the treatment of her face. Overall I'd grade all her album covers with a C+ average (with Street Angel bringing the grade down with an F). However this cover I would grade with a B+.

Look, she wants to fly through the world in a golden ball...she can't help it.

Pyewacket · #**252** 03-08-2011, 01:14 PM

I think I'd like it more if there were a bit more to it...
and someone posted that in the crook of her right arm, there is an image of her face-to-face with her guitarist...
but I don't see anything like that (if there's any face there, it looks more like Jason Voorhees looking off to her left).

There are tiny light anomalies everywhere, but I don't see anything that looks like an in-joke or a message.
And I'd love it if there were an in-joke or a message...
Please tell me that there's an in-joke and a message!

lol - yes!

I wondered that when BD came out.

I was wondering why, if a bird, was it not a dove?
But eventually as time went on, hearing it was her brother's bird, okay, I get it. She liked the bird. The rest of the awesomeness of the cover and outtakes make the bird okay. It is a cute bird. Just at first it was like - where did they get that idea from? Surely their budget is not so low they couldn't find a dove somewhere instead?

Anyone know if a Rhiannon song is on this new cd? The horse stood out as a Rhiannon symbol first and foremost to me.

Wouldn't that be a suprise if Three Birds of Rhiannon were on the CD. People would flip.

When I saw her face, I thought of Not Make Believe, the childlike petulance mixed with defiance, a bit of hurt. And the roundness adds to the youth, not like a aging woman swelling with botox, but more like a girl, whose face still has babyfat.

Yes, especially given that video that played behind her for the Caesar's Palace show.
