as myself, never thought smbu to be controversial. and never understood the cover of that  listening to the song and watching the video gives me about ten million ideas for a good cover, instead theres just a break dancer in jump on it. ??????????

I dont think it was a 'had to', it was a choice to change the cover last minute. Im sure XL threw alot of pressure on 'em.
Its actually one of my fav prodigy covers, it dosent fit well with the track but it visually sticks out compared to the rest.

it was a "had to" without being a had to if you know what i mean, there was no choice at the time because of the nature of the track, and that Diana had died, not that they give a fuck about Diana or did a lot of people but like Liam said about the hotride video they rejected, they dont want to court controversy just for the sake of it, because thats not creative or cool, thats just trying to sell your shit just by being controversial..

This cover (the breakdancer) was funny, because for like over two years I didn't know what was going on in that picture. I just couldn't somehow see what is was, just looked like blurry movement but I didn't see the dancer there  I thought it was seriously cool pic, but one day I just got it "Oh wait, it's a guy doing a frontflip" and it wasn't just so great anymore. Fat of the Land era covers were great because they didn't have anything to do with the tracks. The album cover is beautiful.

I can't believe some of you couldn't figure out just by looking at the pic that it's a human being doing a flip.... What do you think is on the cd? A space ship?
Just asking....
