HiRez Poll Gabriel, Peter - UP [SACD]

[Beefalo]

I voted 9. Funny thing, for as long as I have seen this album cover it wasn’t until someone in QQ said “the eyes have it” that I realized the cover was his face, my brain never made the connection before. Great music and surround sound. I have enjoyed it very much.

He's looking at you....

WOW! I didn't know that either. I was always focused on those water droplets...or whatever they are.

I played this quite often and never noticed it either.
Then I took a picture of the cover and didn't like the way it looked so I adjusted the settings and all of a sudden this guy is staring at me !

This guy doesn't much like Up (I've heard all his critiques before, and I don't agree with any of them), but at least he does us the favor of reminding us that the album just quietly celebrated its 20th birthday:

Stereogum is much more sympathetic:
