IRON MAIDEN STUDIO ALBUM COVERS SURVIVOR 2015: Results -> Somewhere In Time wins!

Derek Riggs on the Somewhere in Time artwork:

This is the most complex album cover ever done by anyone... and I'm not going to do it again. It's too much fucking work. This may be the biggest version that some of you have ever seen. there's tons of stuff in here, you will have to look and find it for yourself:

Powerslave is my all-time favourite album, but Somewhere In Time is my all-time favourite cover (although Peace Sells is close behind).

I disagree with idea that SiT is too busy.
The beauty of it is the immense depth and detail doesn't detract from the powerful central image.
Rather it sets is up perfectly.

 

[Forostar]

Good point about its depth. There's a world behind it, literally.

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

I like symmetric images. The symmetry is a very powerful aspect of the Powerslave art for me.

I also love the Futureal version.

Thanks to all the voters, this was fun

Well that was predictable.

 

[Forostar]

With SIT and Powerslave ending up on the right spots I can't say I am dissatisfied, but FOTD is offensively low in the ranking.
Also SSOASS ended up low if you ask me.

Thanks for hosting Night Prowler.

Thanks for hosting, NP!

FOTD should be in BNW's place and BNW should be in the top 3.

 

[SinisterMinisterX]

Good game NP!

 

[SixesAlltheway]

The top 4 and the bottom 4 is about right...but I would swap some things around in the middle. BNW and AMOLAD below NOTB and Seventh Son for starters.

Thanks for hosting.
