Whatever you have to say about the album art, or the band for that matter, so be it. But IMAGE absolute does NOT represent a band. Music represents a band. People represent a band. And if you asked any one of them, including “tall dude,” you’d know that they are very proud of this record. You know, it could even possible be that the “Picture Perfect” title and the “token emo girl” in the reflection have some sort of significance, which you could probably also find out by asking them. So before writing them off as just another “scene band” you should probably take a listen. Make your judgment from there. Whether you like the band or not isn’t the issue. I’m just saying, it’s a sad, sad music scene today when you are compelled to judge a record by its cover, or a band by its image. PS - Neon? snarkiest: Every Avenue. Definitely not ones for subtlety. Okay, I get it. You’re a scene band. You embrace every ounce of neon, hot topic-ness, creepy fangirls (and their moms), and your hefty collection of Jac Vanek bracelets. But really? THIS artwork? Besides the fact that it looks like it took a designer all of 15 minutes to create, it just pushes the whole “scene” label on this band even more. (not that it really makes a difference…but don’t you have any sort of pride, Tall Dude?) What is wrong? First: A DSLR CAMERA? Why not just call your album “I luv my Canon Rebel”? I could totally picture (hehe) some great song names: -No Credit on Myspace-The song about how that band you shot for totally cropped your water mark out of the photos you took before putting them on myspace.UGH WHAT ASSHOLES! -Too Heavy for Self Portraits- The ballad to the camera, who although you love it, it’s just too awkwardly shaped to take pics for the internet on…Thank god you can use photobooth on your macbook!! Second: Token Emo girl. Noone likes the token emo girl. Is the lens broken because of her reflection? Or are those shards going to end up in her wrist later? They tell you not to judge a book by it’s cover…but what about an album? Image absolutely represents a band, and this just screams chubby girls in shirts with dinosaurs, and dudes that spend more time on their hair than me. Although it’s not far from the truth, it’s not something I’d be proud of selling…
