Do you prefer the old Beggars art:

Or the new, final one:

I think I prefer the old one. And sorry about the size difference.

I prefer the old one because of its relationship with the title. The album's called Beggars and the artwork shows a bunch of (what we can assume to be) rich people dining. The other cover could display that relationship too, since it seems that one person is doing all the work and the other one is just standing there (we can assume to be) hoping to reap the rewards of the other one's work, but I prefer the first one. That's the one on my iPod anyway.

The symbolism of the first one is cool, but I just love the second one aesthetically.

I feel as if they both fit the mood of certain songs on the album. This was really hard, but I think I like the new one better.

don't see what's the point of writing a replay that says "old one" or "new one" with no explanation when we can all see from the poll results what you voted for. Kind of redundant there friends

Ok I'll explain my decision, I think the picture on the first one is better because of the contrast between the white outside and the dark inside, the girls face has a wry smile on her face that adds character to the photograph. The newer one is aesthetically pleasing but doesn't take my fancy as much as the first one :shrug:

It's all about the post count.

Although I like the candidness of the old version, I prefer the aesthetic beauty of the new.

Same. I don't like the first one much at all though.

Old One. i say they make posters of both of them though, that would be sick

I like both. And you'll probably be able to get your album with either cover, I think. I only guess that because at Warped, Thrice seemed to be promoting both covers.

If i had to choose only one though, I'd go new. The old one is really dumb.

The old one. I'm just not feeling the new.

Both work well for the album.
I kind of like the fact that both have a connection to the album because it runs the spectrum of people and it fits the "we are beggars all" motif.
