IYD Album Cover!

[Pyewacket]

There have been several posts from those who love the album cover saying that those who don't are "haters" and could never be satisfied. This is a facile stance to take -- and simply not true.

I, for one, have loved Stevie for decades, but find this cover too obvious and "on the nose" for a Stevie album.

It's one thing to play to your strengths and another to stay safely (perhaps even embarrassingly) within a box. Other "haters" don't like the photoshopping (I'm okay with it).

Either way, these are honest critiques of the photo and you aren't really addressing them when you (the general you), generalize.

Why the need for a non-stop positive-spin-fest here? If everyone loved everything, how boring would the thread and the site be?
