Yeh i think the futuristic covers wer a bit tacky and looked as if the artist was tryin too hard to make it cool. DMS is right, judge it on the choonage (lets just hope hixxy and dougals mixes arent very similar to their HTID 2 ones)

^^^Yes I miss the interesting covers we used to get although I find it easier to file my records when all one label is the same colour.
As for bonkers I like the cartoon graphics but hey I like cartoons so.....

I disagree with that. The cartoon covers stand out a mile and grabs the attention of any passers-by. They're so unique and different that I'm sure they must intrigue people and make them curious as to what the CD is about (if they haven't heard of Bonkers before, of course). The futuristic style is really quite bland when looked at from afar and doesn't really stand out. I think that that design was a compromise between keeping actual anamation on the cover (i.e. staying with the "DJ characters on the cover" theme) but also trying to re-new Bonkers into (almost) a new generation.
The only problem with the cartoon style is that it is identical to the first half of the Bonkers series (1-7) and could suggest to people that nothing has changed in the scene since the older days. ("same old happy-hardcore stuff" may be said). This could be dangerous in a time when the hardcore scene needs to show the world that it has progressed with time and isn't static like a lot of other scenes.
Having said that, I still love the cartoon style and see it as appropriate for our music - I remember being blown away when I first laid eyes on Bonkers1 - I've never seen anything like it. Still my fav. CD cover of all time!

In my humble opinion i think the cover is gr8! A lot better than the stupid futuristic type. Calm down guys, whos goin to judge the music buy the artwork anyway, no1 buys music theyve never heard of just because they like the cover.

I think the cover is great, teh futuristic efforts were a bit lame to be honest, not really interesting to look at and not colourful, i was happy when they went back to the old skool cartoon covers becasue they are fun.
I liked the idea of BONKERS THE 13TH, whoever said it, i think react should take note bout tha 1.
As for he tunes, i have little doubt they will be pumping... Bring it on!
