Is Hard candy (Candy Box edition) cover better than the main one?

This (alleged) original concept >>> either of those

 

[Cherish]

No; the font is still ugly. They could have picked other stuff to make it look like a candy shop, not to mention Madonna’s pose is a little too on the nose.

Wait this is kinda sorta a serve

 

Otherwise no, it looks unflattering and like a cheap cover for a D-list record label popstar with a bunch of fillers. Madonna deserved better, more aesthetically rich and timeless album cover than what we got.

They had great shots. I’ve no idea why they thought that was good cover, especially after the masterpiece that is Confessions.

 

Even American life had a better concept

Love this

[HeavyMetalAura]

I’m in the minority but I love the original. 

[Oktober Knight]

They both suck. This picked such an unflattering pic. It doesn't change the fact that it's Madonna's best album though. 

[Body Talk]

I think the main is iconic. I don't understand why this album cover gets so much hate.

[Aren]

I think the original Black Madonna concept would’ve snapped 

[Slap]

This is one of those albums that was brought down by a **** cover, the album itself is great.

I actually love the candy swirl cover, even though the original concept would’ve been even cooler. 
 

To clarify: the one that was posted above, not the black Madonna one.
