I never understood the 2nd INVASION cover, All Systems Go.
..as in the lettering for album

The 1st was looked to be super balanced/laser cut lettering. Top stuff.
Systems Go lettering looks like it was drawn by someone in Yr9 with a protractor and compass????

What's the go?
Anyone got news on that?
Surely I'm not the only one who noticed.

At least it doesn't look like this:

Notice how they TRIED to keep the 'aura' colors from the solo albums for each member. Paul -purple Gene-red Bruce -blue Eric- had green lips even though he SHOULD'VE had rusty orange lips. Subliminal trickery !!

The cover just seemed very 80's to me, along with that abum's outfits....

I don't think even "Saved by the Bell" had a wardrobe as bright as the Asylum show!!! Ha ha ha. Mmmmmm......Tiffany Amber Thiessen!

Think the ASG cover was done that was to portray a more organic mainstream looking/sounding band. Maybe to seem as a band that had grown. Don't get me wrong I love this album. A lot of fans love the first one more, but ASG it is easier to digest that the first one. A more commercial venture to say.

I have no issues with the covers of the two albums, never really thought about it too much. Neither featured the band on them so it was much of a muchness really.

the only issue with asg is the title of the record was not clear. i know that a lot of people thought it was the first album cover until you put them side by side. obviously both are very different but to a casual fan who didn't take a lot of notice , they did not know it was a new album.

I do remember pre-ordering ASG and decided to get it on all 3 formats. The day of release my pre-order didn't arrive so I bought the LP and CD that day as I couldn't wait. Then the next day my pre-order arrived. I still have them unopened in shrink wrap. That was a day I will never forget. My parents had to listen to ASG all summer. I was at my grandma's when I first put it on and all I wanted was for her to leave the house so i could rock out on my own and pretend i was vinnie.

That album should have been a hit 'that time of year' and 'ashes to ashes' should have been on every radio show and mtv all year, why they were not is a mystery to me. You got to admit V has had some poor luck.
