Couldn't care less what it looks like - only the music matters.
Indeed.

It does suck though that he never got paid - big time. But like it's been said before, don't judge a book by it's cover. Or in this case, a CD album.

Hopefully the next PPF will be a lot more professional instead of a complete jumbled mess that was the first one. No offense.

you really make me laugh, how pathetic you are.
that 'complete jumbled mess' took months of preparation. i didnt think that there was so much room for error in a .zip file containing free music and 2 image files..
and this isnt the thread to discuss it on.

What's pathetic here is the fact you have to make personal insults to try and get a point across. And yes, I'm aware you'll post another scathing reply with more insults aimed at me after reading this, but do you think I'm going to give a damn?
I phrased it wrong. It was anything but a mess. Let's just leave it at that.

agree as well. this bitching about the bonkers is getting way out of hand. i agree that it would be a slight shame that it might not have the cartoonish original bonkers look, but AATW owns it now and traditions go out the door. just like with corporate mergers
change is not always good. and that sux. but there will be plenty out there besides bonkers to look forward to.

dont see at all how I got personal at all... calling someone pathetic isnt personal..
but meh.. you seem to victimise yourself allot, but if thats how you are, thats just something i'll have to be careful of..

No, that's not what you're "expressing" at all. This whole thread you've flat out been like "nah they've killed bonkers"
Mate, you don't know shit about the album yet. In fact, past experience would show that this album might actually BE good.
Hixxy's mixes on bonkers have been on the commercial side for a while - but there's usually something decent in there. Sharkey is... well... who the **** is going to be disappointed by sharkey's mix? You cant really tell with unknown coz sy& unknown release some SHIT tracks, and some good ones.
But you dont even know the tracklist yet, let alone have heard clips.
From this present point - AATW has NOT killed bonkers!!
Now can everyone PLEASE shut the **** up about it until we get a tracklist and/or clips? Jesus-****ing-christ you people complaining don't know ANYTHING yet. You're jumping to conclusions, assuming you know what's gonna happen. You don't. Stop pretending you do.
All this argument about them 'wanting to line their pockets' and 'being about the money' to me proves that they would keep to the original bonkers style. Everyone seems to forget that bonkers sold well - why fix what isnt broken? A business knows that.
/end rant
Most of your points are valid. It is about the music and that is what matters. I personally just have a moral ground when it comes to greed. They may not be putting some hot girl on the cover, but they have in the past and to me that is an insult to humanity. It has nothing to do with the music. It's just using sex to sell music, which is insulting to me. I'm not all crazy about keeping the tradition, but when you are screwing over a tradition for no other reason other to make more money, that is something I have a problem with.
I'll give them their fair go this time and see what they do with it.

see what the **** is this ********.
The only thing we know is that it's not called bonkers 18 and it's just called bonkers. You fail at thinking if you believe that sole action "changes the whole outlook to the series"
My god it'd be scary to see what's going through the heads of some of you... I don't even know how some of you think that your line of thought is logical at all.

but anyway guys who cares, its just a cover..
the only thing i wouldnt like to be done to it is chucking on a random girl in hardly any clothes.. as i do enjoy it on the eyes it is soooooooo untraditional!!!
i wouldnt mind a little twist on the bonkers cover, might be nice for a change. i think its interesting to see what the cover will look like with the absence of Paul

Given past evidence im not looking forward to the artwork in his abscence.
Did Paul do Bonkers 15? Doesnt really look like his style.
EDIT
Just checked my copy of 15. Says design by q biq or summat.
