I don't really love the artwork, but the seriousness of it gives me high hopes.
oh man i just realized my interviews thread from 2008 was unstickied![]()
This seems like the kind of picture I would take while taking a walk in a park, so I can't not like this. Not sure I like the photoshopping here though, the lighting and shadows seem a bit awkward, which makes the people and the bench look like they don't belong there. That aside, I think the idea was great!
What a lame and boring album cover. They've had no decent covers since Americana
Yay, let's troll all the threads with aimless negativity.
What a donkey-mounter. You can say you don't like it without being so much with ze lamez.
But going back to what a few other people said, it IS pretty hilarious seeing this cover for the first time, taking into consideration Cruising California.Love it. I'm getting an odd feeling about this one, since Splinter I've kind of eased back on getting too hyped about "whoa, new Offspring albumz!", but it wouldn't surprise me at all if this disc is somewhat darker than RAFRAG, singles aside.
DGB the song doesn't do a whole lot for me, it's kinda-sorta enjoyable without eliciting any major happy-happy-joy-joy reaction like Hammerhead or YGGFK did last time, but for some reason I'm thinking overall this is going to have far less of the "skip past this to the next one" tracks than the last two albums. But maybe I'm talkin' outta my ass. Here's hoping not.
Oh, I reconsider now! It's a very exciting cover afterall, what with the greyness and the old man! I'll say i don't like it any way I like, it's my opinion thanks. Personally I've never been much of a fan of cover art that is just a photo.
There are positives of this cover of course. There is no flaming skull, it's good that they've moved past that. Now I may have said there has been no good covers since America, but this is the best since then. The previous two were worse than this.
And more and more people buy 'albums' from iTunes anyway, so there is less need for cover art. This may look good as an LP cover though, nice and big, especially if it has some awesome vinyl colour that is in contrast with the grey.
That Actually looks good!![]()
