I know this is a shit post but I do agree with you

Love it

>>63869216
I dont think blues work here, should try dark reds and muted yellows. The cardboard should be maroon or something, and the symbol like a burnt yellow with gold outline
>>
Yeah no, blue does not cut it, not enough colour variety either. I don't kike the orrigonal, but this is worse.

No one except you would give a single fuck how blue it is if this was the cover they chose from the beginning and you know it

Ignore the poorly done ms paint edit, but I feel the best cover is one where the background is a nice crimson red, with the center being green

Me again, hows about green?

I think it's pretty safe to say that a good number of people will get some kind of alternate album art for this. Going back to yellow was a real strange move.
>>
>>63870115
I'm fuckin crying rn

Why is the album art such a pressing matter for people anyway?

These are all shit, stop. The original is fine.

they're afraid its not memeable enough

Anyone else think this image somehow has meme potential?

Because covers can really affect how interested people are in an album. Covers should give the listener an idea I'd what they are about to listen to. This is why people don't like The Glowing Man's cover: it looks pretty similar to the color scheme and look of TBK, which kind of suggests that it'll be quite similar to TBK in sound

It's just such a shame because The Seer and To Be Kind had such beautifully succinct album art. Especially TBK, they perfectly nail the sound and theme of their respective albums.

This is some poorly drawn cut off arm digitally inserted on-top of a scan of cardboard, for an album that is apparently centered around love, I don't see a connection.

For how big the theme of clouds and transcending seems to be, and Gira describing the band drifting away on a rust colored cloud on "People Like Us" it seemed like the perfect excuse for good album art. Maybe that's too cheesy and self referential for Gira, but it would perfectly fit the progression the band has been going through with the last 3 albums.

Album art can seriously affect how the music sounds sometimes...
Visuals have a deeper impact on experience than people realize. Would you eat blue scrambled eggs?

No metal is a good genre for Swans, especially for Filth, it sounds like a metal album.

its weird worrying about album art but it has its effects on the album itself
