That one is imho not so much ugly as it’s just plain wrong and looks more like a Turbonegro boxset.
@Aki: I can’t speak for the band, but … well, I might appreciate the «still life» tradition taken into a modern expression, in this case with the hard flash photography aesthetics that was trending a few years ago. Still, I personally find this one butt ugly, and even if Kim put a lot of effort into it, I can easily imagine the band seeing the front cover and going «ok, so this is how much you care?». Or «A moldy apple and some random vegetables on the floor in ugly lighting, that’s a good representation of these songs to you, Kim?». If so, I wouldn’t blame them.
The way I read it, Still Life With Eggplant was the ‘insulting’ one (I totally get that, tbh), and although Kim did more covers after that one, it was no longer with carte blanche. My interpretation, I could be wrong..
Back To Source, Kristiansand 1996-07-05. Actually, it’s the only live version I’ve heard, but imho i kicks the shit out of the studio version released in 1997.
Sounds great! Anyway, someone’s got to be *that guy*, so I might as well do it: The setlist at Henie Onstad Kunstsenter back in 2008 looked like this:
Un Chien d’Espace
Demon Box
:MPD:
My interpretation of the artist’s post is that she simply painted this while listening to the latest MP album.

Maybe, but it shines through all the way what’s the reviewer’s cup of tea and what’s not. Which makes it easy to make up one’s own mind without minding the rating, and that’s a good thing.
Wow. I think this is the first time I catch some (early) 80s vibe from a Motorpsycho(delic) tune, although just in a few glimpses. Very nice! But man, unless they make use of the dreaded autotune I’m more than a bit worried about what some of the vocal parts will sound like in a live setting. Educated guess: godawful! :STG:
Hah! I knew it, how can it be anything else? (And where the hell am I going to find the money to buy this? Aaargh)
Gotta say, though: both LLM (2008) and HMF (2010) are on my top five artwork-wise, among the «regular« MP LPs. Ok, enough off-topic, I guess.
Snah touched upon this subject in the edition of Sure Oppstøt that was included with the Terje Brekkstad box thingie. If I remember correctly, he said something about feeling «outsmarted» and «numb» when presented to Kim’s later output for them. As much as I love Kim’s works, I must say I’m totally with Snah here. In fact, I might have held some of the 2010s albums in higher regard if the covers weren’t so … bleak?
