The Album Covers: Midnight At The Lost And Found
 

I've read there are two covers. I have a black and white photo of Meat's straight face. Doesn't reveal a lot. Nothing special :)

Different album cover in USA I think

Wasn't it Blind Before I Stop that had a different cover in the U.S.? Reminds of a post I read on some music forum regarding how you can judge the quality of Meat Loaf's albums by their cover art:

Fantasy art: great album
Comic strip-like art: good album
Photo of Meat Loaf: Avoid :twisted:

Worst Meat Loaf album cover so far. Technically the photo is not bad and quite impressive but it's not a good choice for an album cover, in my opinion.

MATLAF:

The black MATLAF definitely has more impact than the Australian version

I'm not a fan of any of these album covers.

I know that there are quite a few albums around that feature a photograph of the artist and I'm not saying that he hasn't got the face for album covers but I feel that the fantasy art style covers are much more interesting. The fantasy art seems to suit Meat Loaf albums.

:twisted: I think I feel how a lot of people feel which is pretty much "meh :bleh: "

It's not an offensive cover, but it's much less than we are used to.

The fact that Meat sees to be wearing a black sweater, and leaving the bottom two thirds of the cover completly black is interesting.

There just not much to get excited about.


However, I do prefere it to the Australian cover.
Perhaps because i'm used to it, but I think the Auzie cover looks more like the cover of a chop & shop compilation.

I liked the B&W Midnight cover. Didn't like the BBIS UK cover .. the cut and paste concept didn't work for me and it simply doesn't look much like Meat. LOVED the US cover though. For me a nice change from the fantasy artwork. I like Meat's picture on album covers ..

and skulls = Amazing album :-)

I assume the hairdresser had that day off.

And had taken all the brushes home

That's what I expect a Michael Bolton album to look like. ;)

I like that it's black. For me it sort of matches what Meat was going through at the time.
