cover was cool?

Nope. I used to buy CDs just on the basis of reviews in Rollingstone or Guitar World or wherever, but that was the extent of my ''blind purchasing'', not knowing anything else about the band/artist.

I love ventolin because of the way he used tones instead of traditional ideas for music. And it scares animals.

ive been tempted to... just today.. i saw this cd by a band named 'serene' and contemplated getting it sometime because the cover art was cool..
if i had more money..i would buy all kinds of cds based on cover art.. it would be interesting to listening to an unknown cd for the first time having no idea what to expect...
actually, i did buy fog's cd mostly based on its cover art..i did hear one song online first...but it was just the intro...
i also bought rotor+'s cd based on one vague review...and the fact that it came in a book...without hearing anything from it ..and it turned out to be one of the best albums ive ever bought
my purchase of phoenecia's brownout was mostly based on the cover too...as i had heard nothing from them prior..
so yeah...i guess i have bought cds because of cool cover art...but not soley..not yet at least
i have gone and checked out cds online because of their covers though

I did the exact same thing. I had a choice between EP7 and LP5, and now I wish i had gone with the latter.

I once got this club flys compilation cd... its like goa acid club stuff (best acid I heard in a while). It had some Uberzone remix's and fatboy slim.. and this really great song at the end of it.... its pretty neat. And the cover looked all neat.. so I got it..
