trick cover btw

thats actually supposed ot be the back cover and then when the clear slip case is placed over it, all the song titles appear clearly at the top and all these alien trees appear in the background

I guess the cover art fits the music, but it reminds me of something you would see on an edgy Tapout shirt or something.

wtf this is literally someone's pseudocode for some sort of program, not even in english (God's language)

Also Albur! is terrible. It's like an avant-teen listened to some Supersilent and some Yoshihide Otomo, then tried to make le epic experimental album

why does it look like a pussy coming out of her purple goo?
>>
>>63947968
because thats literally what it is

she's supposed to be an alien on an alien planet which becomes even more apparent when the included clear slip case is reversed from the original packaging
>>
>>63947738

It's mapping out a math subject (relation between theorems) in some spic language and u can tell bcuz of the notation and term "Jordan curve theorem" prolly complex analysis imo.

>>63947968
it represents a wound, her heart was broken
>>
>>63948005
I'm mainly annoyed that the Albur dude thought it would make his album deeper or whatever by having a (probably unrelated) set of theorems as his album cover

The theory behind all those theorems is probably too complex for me to ever understand but that's not a reason to make it a damn album cover

All that matters is
Who is open-chested
And who has coagulated
Who can share and
Who has shot down the chances?
Show me emotional respect, oh respect, oh respect
And I have emotional needs, oh needs, oh ooh
I wish to synchronize our feelings, our feelings, oh ooh
