I think that might be it. Same theory behind it?

To answer the question about what bridge it is its The Bronx Whitestone Bridge.

Here are some other photos of it.




Ive gone past/under it on a ferry quite a few times, its quite breathtaking to see upclose and in-person.

I'd really like to know how this artwork relates to the content of the album.

The song I'm just a patsy, they wanted to use Patsy Palmer on the cover.

Perhaps the image is taken by New Yorker David LaChapelle? They used his quote and all...

I love the look of it. And though I love The Holy Bible font, I don't think it's necessary to bring it back and re-use it...

ah well, it still looks cool.

I liked to think that people on this forum were more tolerant.

Dont know if this has been mentioned but HMV have put the artwork on their page that has previously been mentioned
I dont know if its trustworthy though because their release date still says 28/5/07

Well someone on the thread 'SATT 11th Track' said it was fake and they removed it from the wikipedia page but I know for a fact that the Underdogs artwork is real and that seems to fit the same style as the supossed album artwork. I have no clue what to believe now. Did the sampler come with artwork?

I don't like the Artwork at all. It's all a bit too James Blunt for me.
