Perspective, and it's supposed to look like he's leaning in towards her as he approaches. You really don't think the artist for this jacket was told to make a big gay to do over nothing do you? Saw your last post, and yes the joke is on us! LOL
It's a joke, relax. However If you want to get into body mechanics I think the angle he's on with his legs as close together as they are and his arms by his sides, he would fall over.

What you are looking at is body mechanics. The way a person would climb a rocky outcrop. He's standing there on uneven ground. In my opinion your are way over reaching.

Yeah, he's not straight. He's at an angle. Look at it.

Yeah those songs are all great and save the album but the rest of it is pretty rubbish. Check out the dark figure on the album cover, he's not straight.

LOL you' ve certainly done some sleuthing with the lyrics JJ!!! It's good to have a debate about what we think songs are about etc.
I don't think I've actually answered the question about Priests most underrated album. In some respects I think Point of Entry is underrated, people think that album is full of Don't Go type songs (incidentally I like that song, it makes me laugh hehe) but it has some great songs on it, Heading out to the Highway, Solar Angels, Desert Plains etc. So in a way it is terribly underrated.

I think the Starbreaker is a gay guy who is opening up the gay lifestyle to guys who are confused about their sexuality. He does this by exposing them to a world that is vastly different to the one they are used to and one which will ultimately bring them happiness, should they decide to go his way. All the references to cruising, hand holding, stealing hearts and getting high aside that's basically what it's about. Whether or not you agree I'm glad that comment sparked some debate.
As for the album cover I'm surprised that the dark figure hasn't fallen over leaning on that angle and I love how the female figure at the front appears to be naked apart from her high heels.
