Cherry Blossom 21,472 Posted February 28 I absolutely hate that album cover but love it at the same time. Like if it was any other artist or album I would hate it, but for some reason it just makes perfect sense… Especially the mockup with the picture disc too… 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes a simplified cover isn't a bad thing, but i do get why some people don't like it as well 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brandon 13,283 Posted February 28 okay i don’t wanna be the absolute mayor of hatersville so i’ll clarify i do in fact see the vision and get what she’s going for and the cover does work very well for streaming & digital but… when it comes to physicals, especially vinyls - I just feel like the art should be prettier, or just more interesting at the very least. no one is seeing a pixelated “brat” in ariel over a lime green background and thinking “wow! i’d love to display this in my home!” and if the cover ever was changed - it would be the digital version that would be changed.. because it’s done with a click of a button and does not require reprinting vinyl sleeves... but that’s the ONE place this cover actually works so that would just feel kinda useless you could also argue that the vinyl variants might have different covers but i have a certain inkling that they’ll just be the same thing with different neon backgrounds (don’t hit me with an “i’m not reading all that” 😭 i know i just like talking!!!) 0 Quote last.fm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although historically that doesn't seem to be how Charli does it. Also can we all just bully Ava Max? No particular reason to do so, just feels right. 2 Quote 🎶 Art decorates space, but music decorates time 🎶 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VegaXCX 537 Posted February 28 Are we sure that’s not just an exclusive variant of the vinyl? The main variant could be different. Even if it’s not, I think it goes with the theme of the album. Very euro-trash, underground. I don’t understand the hate, but then again I’ve always been more concerned with the music, than the cover. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
