  3. I don't really like this one.
    I think that the guy with the sword COULD have been a cool idea. (if they did something else with the rest of it.)

  4. Interesting, I wonder if rhe samurai would have to honor bushido and commit seppuku for desecrating the Japanese flag...of course, I don't think they had that emblem in feudal Japan

  5. It's fine. At least it makes you look twice.

  7. I like the logo, the picture is okay. Although it looks better in person than it does on the computer.
    Also like the Tygers of pan tang this is a British band that for some reason opted for an Asian sounding band name.

  8. It's kind of cool. Sign of the times, really. It taps into that Japanese motif that popped up back in the 80s...lots of folks sporting Imperial Japanese flag shirts and stuff.

  9. You don't see album/CD art like this in 2007. It may be a little odd, but I bet you would stop to look at it if flipping through CD's in your local shop.

  10. I would certainly stop to check this album out. I like the soft images and colours .. and really, the samuri is just pushing the flag ... that's not so bad .. huh?
