I dont like the cover..its uninspiring, "Dynamite" conjures so many images...but I do agree with MoonShooter ^, the cover doesnt matter and what the heck is a perspex Space Cowboy?!  |

Perspex is some sort of plastic material.
Otherwise, if that really is Dynamite cover, doesn't anyone think it's strange (or at least not aesthetic) they used the same font on "jamiroquai" and "dynamite" sign? |

the only bad thing i see in that cover is that the font used for dynamite is the jamiroquai font but in a poor version, look at that "a" and "e", are so crappy....

hmm... in synkronized cover there's the jami font being used on "jamiroquai" and "synkronized" not the same size, but the same font...
anyway, let's hope this is a preview cover, just for those who'll buy the album in advance.

That's true. There is a different version in Synkronized too. The 'U' in Jamiroquai is different. And the Jamiroquai in AFO is smaller than all the previous fonts used.
And there are two different versions of the buffalo man:
The legs are different.
The first one was used until the single Alright. Since High Times, the second one was used...until now, cause the FJLIS single featured the 'old' buffalo man.

ok as I told Brent on MSN, that cover is crap, it looks as if J had gone bankrupt, was thrown back to the streets and he was left alone in an alley wondering about his past rich life, now he's poor, lonely, old and holds his AFO hat in memory of his lost life...it looks so pathetic not like DYNAMITE!,
Better not be the final cover!
An please J, would you be kind enough to find a NEW hat and throw that AFO one away?..come on, store it and keep it in the shelf!
Too much crap coming out of my mouth! <-- ha ha |

When they say you can win a Perspex Space Cowboy , I think they mean a Perspex Buffalo Man.
I somtimes call the buffalo man the Space Cowboy, and it seems like they have too. |

appart from the changes in the legs of the buffaloman since alright single, they have used also another buffaloman, with the simetric legs and bigger head and also different draw on the shoulders, but are little changes
the worse change i noticed was the jamiroquai font in AFO wich is quite the same but compressed from the sides, so a big taller and less long, i don't like it so much...

Hello there,
Sorry, but I must say it. I agree on what you say, the cover should represent the return of the Space Cowboy, colours, something happy, not too dark like that one....... but the album is actually very good... that's the important thing right

Hey!
Yeah, I agree with you there Diego...it would be really nice to see a more explosive cover for the album and I would love to see a new Buffalo Man, but it won't effect the quality of the music. The album is great and that's all that matters!

P.S. I'm sure they'll be very inventive with the covers for the singles...they usually are! |

Hi !
In my opinion it would have been a bit too simpleminded to first call the album
"Dynamite" and then put firecrackers or anything like that on the cover.
I mean, come on people. That would be very uncreative !
That would be like calling an album "nature" and then putting trees and flowers on the cover.
Or like calling it "shit" and then putting this 
on the cover...
It´s exactly the contradiction between the "bombastic" albumtitle
and the simple black and white cover that I like.
Both - a bombastic name and a bombastic cover - would have been
too much and in a way very tacky.
And by the way : Look at the expression on Jay´s face ! Don´t you think
it´s somehow promising ? As if he was about to reveal a secret.
Or as if he wanted to say : "Hey! Aren´t you curious whether there really is Dynamite inside this simple cd jewel ?"
