I'm incredibly disappointed at this artwork. :(
Sure, the song may be good, but the song title and artwork are just cringeworthy :fp: :fp: :fp:

    I'm not disagreeing or being disrespectful, but I really don't care. 99.9% about the music, .1% about the artwork. Nobody ever says, "No Code is a great fucking album because of all those super creative pictures."

    You don't even know what the heck the picture is or isn't. Single artwork? Album artwork? Inner-sleeve artwork?

    Jesus....calm down.

    I'm choosing to believe that this art was put together by the ten club & is simply meant as a hint that the single is coming Thursday. I sure hope it's nothing official or indicative of the meaning/lyrical content of the song or the album artwork.

    exactly, this may have nothing to do with the new album or single in the end

    I disagree. I find the artwork to be a great part of the music. I think that pre-s/t, the artwork and interior lyric sheets fleshed out a world that made the music deeper and much more real to me.
    it's been sad seeing it all kinda fade to 'normal' over the last ten years. it was always something special. I devoted hours to listening and taking in every inch of those tapes/CDs/albums over the course of my lifetime.
    unfortunately, i think it has a lot to do with digital releases now - not so much physical buying anymore.
    that said, its all speculation that this is even artwork for anything.

    if this is indeed the style of art for the new album, I'll be disappointed, as I have been with the last two layouts.

    Exactly. In my teens i had my bedroom wall covered with PJ sleeves and inner sleeves and various artwork. It means something, not just a silly design for the sake of a design.

    Also, MAYBE this won't be the artwork for the single Mind Your Manners this Thursday, but man, it's pretty easy to put 2 and 2 together

    can't we wait to call it shitty or not shitty artwork, until it is finished or we know if it is actually the artwork for the single?

    Exactly. I'm not much of an art guy so I could give a shit about album covers/artwork. Just give me some good music.

    If you had proper dining etiquette you might understand the significance of the artwork. The spoon is misplaced. Bravo to the artist. I will contemplate this some more over dinner.

    Dude, you CAN'T judge ART! Didnt you watch the Grammy's in 1996?

    Personally, I like information graphics, so I'm cool with it.

    hope the people who photoshopped something similar as a joke don't end up getting sued for copyright infringement. :lol::lol:
