Subs Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Absolute crap. It may run with the whole concept and art direction of the album, but I think the biggest problem with this is obvious ? WHY have it so minimalistic ? Think of it, fourth album, have something truly great. The spliced up images of Linkin Park/The Catalyst is more impressive. I mean out of everything they could have created, why create something so normal ? There's a time and a place for a simple design, this isn't it. The lack of text also works against it too. This album according to LP is groundbreaking, reflect that in the artwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelbeats Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hmm.... don't like it imo . Seems like someone could've made it with paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPSebi Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 This isn't art, it's a defocused something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggotTheory Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 What is the possibility that this album artwork is another hidden message? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACDalgaard Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 To me it looks like light being "set free" from a black hole An eclipse is another guess, but I think the rays are too irregular for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ree Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hmm I don't like the album cover at all. I really don't get it. I agree that the distorted images of the band members looks amazing so if they did something like that for the cover it would have been much better. Seriously wtf is this?? Atleast the songs will be good (judging from the sampler review) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 The cover is starting to remind me of "The X-Files" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucre06 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 wow wow wow , Very nice cover ( I speak with irony ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDREUS240 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 :POST FROM OTHER TOPIC: They probably will end up putting like the LP logo and the name of the album somewhere on it. In my opinion, Black and White seems a bit boring, they did it with MtM and now they are doing it again. I was hoping they would do something like the BG of this http://www.linkinpark.com/profile/Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geki Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Not a lot of people like the cover...but I personally think it's fucking awesome. Way better than MTM's cover and Meteora's cover IMO. I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsatan Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 it's rather bizarre, but it fits with the whole notion trying to really push the music and be "genre busting" on that note the cover works but aesthetically I don't find it too appealing.

Derbyster Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 don't like it, but better than MTM i think. Need more colours. This seems so amateurish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesungoesdown Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Album cover sucks, but oh well all I care about is the music! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christos_17 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Not really feeling the cover, however it doesn't really bother me a whole deal. As long as the MUSIC is good, it's fine by me. I'd just like to know the meaning behind the artwork, but I guess that will come in due time. On other plain artwork from other bands, as mentioned Metallica's 'The Black Album' was the first thing I thought, which is up there as my favourite album of all time. And then there's The Beatles' 'The White Album'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ree Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 It's just that with Mike being an artist and all, I had high hopes for an amazing cover but whatever. Bring on the motherfuckin music!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
