To me it sounds like people are more concerned with disliking something the majority praises. I look at this and see "meh", not "oh my god this needs like 20 comments in the first 20 minutes because it's so fucking bad".

??? well seeing as I was one of the first to comment about the artwork I don't know how you reached that conclusion.

How about "Just sayin what you think about it because there's nothing wrong about saying your opinion"?

Written by Troy Killjoy on 24.05.2012 at 15:29

I'm not trying to say you only dislike this because you'd think it's cool or something (you're probably the last person I'd ever accuse of doing that), it's just like... I log in, check the news thread, see a pretty messy cover art, and then 90% of the comments are from three people having a continuous discussion about how awful it is.

Art is subjective and we all have opinions, so me saying I don't think it's that bad obviously doesn't mean anyone's right or wrong, I was just surprised to see so much hate over something so... "blah"?

I'd swear some of you guys ate something while I was asleep... you're saying that to the guy who probably has to post that same bullshit response three times a day in the forums.

What is the problem with 3 people giving their reasons to why they think it sucks instead?

Nothing at all.

Again, it's all subjective/opinion/whatever other excuse, but this really just doesn't scream "kill it with fire" as the previous comments suggested.

I'm pretty sure the music will be great, so who gives a shit about the artwork. I mean, really.

People that buy the album might. People that like nice art might too. Just saying. Discussion of artwork is legitimate conversation if you ask me

Even though I'm not up in arms about this, artwork is indeed a legitimate thing to discuss, especially in comparison to some other crap people talk about.

It's the same reason why different publishers change the artwork of certain books - because some book covers are atrocious, while others are beautiful. I remember a slew of Puffin Classics being published with a really simple monochrome scheme that looked elegant, while some other publishing company (forget the name) changed the covers to like, these overly elaborate paintings depicting a scene from the novel but they seemed disjointed somehow. It's the same book, but one cover appeals more to me, so I'm going to buy that one instead.

Not sure where that rambling came from.

I indeed, judge a book by it's cover, but generally, good cover = good music, why? because when the have a nice cover, it means tehy care, they are trying to sound good and want their whole image to be good. That's not to say that ugly art-ed music isn't good, but it's definately a minus.

I don't see how it can be a minus. To me artwork and lyrics are only bonus, never minus... They can and should never affect negatively the music.

If there's an album I enjoy with a magnificent artwork, it's only going to be an extra plus, but if the artwork was horrible... then... nothing happens. The music is still amazing.

A cheesy cover doesn't matter, it just ruins it on the cd shelf, but chessy lyrics can definately ruin an album
