Actually, I've listened to their third album The Great Stone War and I think it's a major improvement. It's a very interesting brand of symphonic deathcore.

It doesn't matter to me whether the album art "reflects" the music or not. But I do need a strong image (or images) with lots of character, to help me successfully assign the aural experience to a visual experience. That's important if you listen to a lot of music, it helps you remember better how "that album" was.

I love listening to an album and having the artwork clearly in your head as you listen. The artwork is part of an album, it is part of it's visual side, and completes the music itself. I always keep the artwork in mind somehow when listening to something, and I'll continue doing so.

I find it all has a huge effect on my impressions, music videos, photo shoots in magazines, interviews, lyrical presentation in the booklet and most of all, cover art. It has a massive effect on my prejudices, preconceptions etc if I listen to it after having seen or read anything about it, and can change my initial reaction if I see/hear/read things like that afterward.
I thought Master Of Puppets was a completely different record before I saw the photos inside the booklet. |
