Do you love it or hate it?

Love the cover, hate the lens flare bubble with a passion. It's a tacky, unecessary addon that detracts from a really stunning cover.

I don't love it, but I don't hate it. I like the coloring. But I think it would make a much better back cover or inside photo than the cover. Not my favorite Stevie cover (that would be "The Wild Heart") but it's ten times better than "Street Angel"!!

I don't like the bubble or Stevie's airbrushed face that makes her look like a stand in. The Horse doesn't bother me at all. I'm not fond of that thick bush below the tree on the left either.

I love everything about it, except for the face I get the dreamy thing, but to me it just looks like a photoshop binge.

Same here. It literally makes her look 1/3 of her age. I realize it probably wasn't her decision to do that, but still... it's a bit silly. I know how we all ribbed Christine for her highly airbrushed cover shot on In The Meantime, but it looks 1,000 times more realistic than this shot of Stevie:



However, the overzealous photoshopping doesn't detract too much from my opinion of In Your Dreams cover, though... I still think it's gorgeous, and ranks as my favorite of her solo career .

Stevie needs a rag doll in her free hand. That would be soo cosmically gothic and awesome.

well, to me, it's just ok. It's not what I had in mind at all. It's far more fantasy than I imagined - I was imagining something more earthy. I like the tree's thing. Don't get the need for the horse at all. The lens flare is tacky and Stevie's face is way too airbrushed. But I like the idea behind it and think minus the horse and lens flare it could've been her best.

I wouldn't say I hate it (I take it back - I did say that, actually!) , but I really do not like it. It's really cheesy IMO.

And btw - speaking of album covers that don't look like the subject - I have never thought that Stevie really looks like Stevie on TOSOTM front cover. The back cover, yes. But the front? Not Stevie. She looks odd on The Dance as well.

It looks like Ivy climbing up the tree. That S**t is like a weed. It grows on anything. I have to constantly pull it & snip it away from the brick on my porch. But I do love it climbing my back yard lattice to keep my deck private.

Seriously?
It's just my opinion, but I think Stevie looks more like herself on the In Your Dreams cover than that Christine impersonator on ITM.

Definitely they went too far with the photoshop. That face is not Stevie. Of course they can work the pic for a younger face than the real one, everybody does, but that's almost a teen!! Absurd.

Oh no no no... I see her point. She is saying..

Do I look like this?? Yeah! IN YOUR DREAMS!!
