We will, however, judge them for calling their album Before Breakfast, then pairing it with an album cover that sees them sitting around the breakfast table enjoying some coffee. Nor will we judge them for having a garish traffic light in their kitchen. We're not gonna judge this bluegrass band for looking like a bunch of real estate agents - that's their prerogative.
We never thought we'd say this to a member of Korn, but Fieldy - you've got to tone it down a bit. Then someone drew a bunch of black lines to look like bass strings all over the damn thing. Bassically sees him stylize his name with a bass clef while spelling out its pun-heavy title on the fret board. The album's got songs like "Bass Invaders" and "I Wuv Bass Man," but string slappa Fieldy had a field day with his album cover, too. So we just have to let him exist, bulging bronze muscles and all.Ĭornball alt-rockers Fastball have attempted to find the way back into American pop culture, but their latest album looks like one of those unauthorized downtempo mixes you stumble upon in the deepest recesses of Apple Music. Like, we don't even want to make fun of him, because he's clearly basking in the glory of his accomplishment.
The hardest part about this collage is that the buff clown man looks so proud of himself. NPR says the album contains hints of R&B, but does it also have the classic metalcore breakdowns promised by this cover art? The Indigo Girls frontwoman helps us imagine what it would be like if Converge's Jacob Bannon made album art for middling folk rockers.
Jesus, we get that you're trying to show just how hated you are but you could've communicated that a lot more clearly if you emphasized literally any other word of the title other than "the." Also, why did you hold up the money so that it looks like a bunch of zero-dollar bills? When you want people to know you're complex and artsy - and also that you have a wicked hankering for some waffles.
