Back in December 2007, when Simple Plan revealed the album cover for their upcoming – third – self-titled album (2008), the picture provoked a very negative reaction from the fans. After Pierre firstly defended the choice of the picture in his MySpace blog, the band has later on decided to leave it up to the fans to choose the album cover – between that one and the black & white one that has eventually become the one representing the self-titled album we all know.
I recently came across another version of the rejected album cover, that features the band surrounded by flames and a burned-out town, which uses the background from a tiny bit different perspective and mostly uses different effects on the album/band name. Check it out:
