Thought this was gonna be some psych-prog shit but it's still pretty good, and I can see how it could maybe kinda fit.

I was expecting harsh noise or maybe drone.

why the fuck did he go with such an awful cover for such a good album
>>
>>65710992
That cover goes great with side 2
>>
>>65710964
Nah this looks like the album.
>>
>>65711317
Eh, it's certainly darker than most Beach Boys material, but I'm not sure it still really sounds like what you wold expect if you were entirely unfamiliar with the album and saw the cover.

pic related definitely (it's a shitty vaporwave album)
>>65710291
the shoegaze-y, bright sound of the album does fit that cover though
>>65711220
it kinda doesn't fit at first, but the whole sexual metaphor of the banana fits with the sexual nature of the album, not to mention the yellow does fit the sound colour of a lot of the songs (to me at least)
>>65711280
it's a fine album cover, nothing spectacular though
>>65711507
>>65711924
it does look like a metal album cover at first though but once you listen to the album it fits well
>>65710392
now THIS is an example of a misleading album cover

Smiles on the figures faces is misleading to the sorrowful music but maybe that's intentional for the sake of eeriness
>>
>>65710800
The surreal nature of it matches the vague metaphors, and the sad thing in the top right fits the sad music, too. Although I also expected it to be more psychedelic
>>65711220
Because it's bananas, duh

Of course it's intentional. Half the pictures are plastic figurines putting on a fake veneer of happiness in sad or unpleasant situations. Like the couple on the back cover in bed together smiling while laying as far apart from each other as they can.

>>65712671
Id tend to disagree. The sound of Advaitic Songs is absolutely rooted in the sounds of religion and spirituality, and the lyrics, delivered in a trantric (albeit sloppy) vocal style, are spiritually complex to the loint of being impenetrable to the average listener.
