I´ve just seen the cover for ´Surprise´ on http://www.paulsimon.com and I think its hideous.
The proximity to the baby´s face just takes out all the cuteness and is just freaky, and what a strange thing to have on a cover.
I know what really matters is the music but I just really think this cover sucks!!!

But I like the cover, something I haven´t seen before.

I really wonder how the songs with Brian Eno will be now. A lot of electronic sound as Paul said in the newspaper interview? The album cover made the feel it sounds very electronic and modern.

Is the baby one of Paul´s children, what do you think?

Well I like the cover! Actually it is great! Nobody would have expected such a cover by Paul Simon... This is the first Surprise and I am sure there is more to come... looking forward to it

Old photography of Pausl´s children we know or the photo of a new (secret) Paul´s child ?
Seriously, I appreciate this cover and I am curious to listen to the songs and find the link with the cover !

I guess the meaning is very logical and simple. For a baby everything is new and surprising.

I also like it, except that ugly blue at the top. It looks as if it was created with some cheap photo edit software.

The blue is really very strange... maybe this should show us the influence from the 70´s..electronic sounds...drugs LOL

What a great cover it would have been without the blue... Just the babies face and "Surprise" in small letters. But the blue really makes it bad in my opinion

Well this blue part has probably something to do with one of the new songs: "Once Upon a Time There Was an Ocean"
Who knows...

I think so too Klausi, a baby doesn´t know how his live is going to be, and the world is full of surprises, a baby has a lot to discover in life. I´m very curious about the songs and how they will refer to the cover.
I think the blue has also a meaning, it looks like water, which is very important for life.

And the birth of a baby is sometimes a Surprise for the parents... :-)

Hm, Alain. Do you mean the sex? Or twins or more?

At least the mother should know about the fact...

but sometimes a child arrives when he is not awaited or sometimes when he is no more awaited.
I hope like you that the mother sees it before 9 months...
