personally I think it will be the best Roots cover yet, and the first non-photograph design ever (??), not including organix (which is just black, right?).
either way, its looking sweet.

blow your avatars up so we can see them a little better? or is that the whole thing? "hey okaystaff, lets be real cool and secretive and only show them a 1 sq.inch image of it! we're soooo coool!"
me and b's jawn's are about 1/354,234,904,690,689th of the cover.
however, lucky smoking groovers will see it in its 80ft glory as it will be the backdrop.
to get a clue, look in old encyclopedia's for old phrenology charts.
i must admit. i consider tfa to be the "off the wall" to phren's "thriller", the real question will be can we top this cover for the next album.

i profile of a brotha/sista, with their brain mapped out like th cover of teh phrenology handbook.
each section (all 39 of them) is a little look into the roots as a band (the fist, the drum kit, the party, etc.)
*lightbulb*
you know you could have 7 different covers (ala TFA) with each band member posing as the profile pic....hmmmm might work. and the little pictures could be in differnt order according to how important each element is to them. (ie. thought woudl have the mic, and maybe a fist be promonent, while kamal would have the keys and an ice grill being promonent)
well anyway, looks like this could shape up to be the most interesting cover the date..cant wait to but it at 12:01
