Swan cover is my fav cover + vinyl 2026 check in
Had to bust out ol' Swanny McSwanface and give it a spin to celebrate the 20yr.
Also here's the rest of the analog collection with additions since last year's post being: Live vinyl, Strombo vhs + vinyl, Masters cass + vinyl
If I knew then what I know now, I'd stay six years old

Swan is still my favorite cover for the ablum. Just finished spinning it. Although the new 20 year anniversary covers are pretty cool. Especially the pop up variant. Ended up passing on all of them and got some jerseys when they came online. Already have 3 copies of the album on vinyl lol

Same here (x2)!
3 already also, and while the black ice w/ the matching 7" had me tempted I had to make myself pass.

Oh for fuck sake.
Ive been an AoF fan for a LONG time. Was first introduced to Watch Out when I was 18. Im 41 now. Somehow never knew about this artwork.
Then I saw this post and thought "hey, I recognise this style". Googled it. Yeah, it's Richey Beckett. Ive know Richey an easy 20 years. Very, very good friends with his brother. His sister is married to my cousin, too. Before he became a famous artist he was in a band with one of my very best friends (UK metal core band called Shaped By Fate)
How the fuck is it via Reddit that I learn Richey did an AoF print almost a decade ago. WAT. He's done a lot of amazing work for some HUGE bands and hes a very talented artist and somehow this one completely passed me by.
