The date on the last cover art on their site was from mid-July, so this group isn't capitalizing on it, it's just dumb luck they came up with that cover image.

Yahoo story says the album covers weren't even printed yet -- it wasn't due out until Nov 6th.

ewww... I remember thinking that it was a good cover when I first saw it about a month ago on 75Ark.com. Really puts a knot in my stomach. I guess this will generate publicity for them though (Boots is a great lyricist)...
