Has the cover art for Chasing Yesterday ever been officially released? Is it just that plain picture with Noeilo in front of a grey wall?

I believe Stevie Wonder designed the cover if I'm not mistaken.

I wonder if Brian Cannon made one and if Noel rejected it or something.

I can't be the only one who actually likes the cover art(s). I'm slowly starting to appreciate a little the single covers. But I still think the album cover is a tragically uninspired and lazy piece of shit. It doesn't convey anything about the record, or about Noel. It looks like the cover of a poor hip-hop album, and Noel looks like a 50 years old rapper...  |

There's absolutely nothing good about the album cover. Couldn't have done a lot worse even if they tried. Worst of all, Noel looks like a dick. On his own album cover.

I don't think Noel really gave a shit.

Funnily enough I don't mind it. It's not overcrowded or anything, it does the job. It may be slightly lazy or uninspired or whatever - I just think of the White Album cover when I hear those words.

My favourite is this one, which I used to make a quick alternative artwork back in October:  This is very nice too... not as original, but good:  |

It's as bad if not worst than the Heathen Chemistry cover.
That being said in Oasis history there has never been much care given to album covers, bar Dig Out Your Soul. The rest are just different levels of fucks not given.

The rest are just different levels of fucks not given. Yeah they look like HC part 2. Early Oasis covers were great, though being very simple. From DM to SOTSOG included, they made some really good ones. DOYS was good also, but that's about it. |

My favourite is this one, which I used to make a quick alternative artwork back in October: Love that one - have been using it for BOTMI since it came out and might keep using it for the album. It's as bad if not worst than the Heathen Chemistry cover. That being said in Oasis history there has never been much care given to album covers, bar Dig Out Your Soul. The rest are just different levels of fucks not given. I'd say it's about 50-50. Definitely Maybe, Be Here Now and Dig Out Your Soul are really great. Morning Glory, HC and DBTT are pretty bad. The Masterplan and SOTSOG are average/OK. |

That album cover is a DISGRACE. I'm sorry, but there's no other way to describe it.
Had they left Noel off and went for just the white wall, it still would've been shit but they could have at least argued that they were going for a White Album minimalistic approach.
Whoever "designed" that atrocity needs to change careers. Seriously.

It's a decent album cover and it certainly has my full support. It's certainly no masterpiece but it's a solid effort. Noel looks fine to me, even if he is a little on the grumpy side, but what's new.

Yeah, can't think of anything good to say about it. Shit, cheap looking photo of Noel (noise in the skin tones), shit clothes, shit logo which looks like it's at an even lower resolution than usual with JPEG artefacting, boring white brick wall with hardly any contrast. Terrible execution of a poor idea.

The lack of creativity is just disappointing with the album cover. You would think someone who makes some of the best music ever could come up with a better cover than that.
He could've just did what David Bowie did and put "Chasing Yesterday" over HFB cover and I'd be happy.
