Looks cool now we just get to wait three more months shouldn't be too bad though I figure we'll get a single or two beforehand
Not really impressed with the title. No points for originality. And the view? All I see is a bunch of rock and boots that are way too big.
All of this.
Not that it's groundbreaking or anything but but not sure about the downer angle. Octavarium was a fake word and the album art was balls clacking over a field. Turns out in context it was evocative/appropriate and it's one of the more iconic DT covers/books because of the symbolism. Realistically we can't expect this to turn out the same but there's some cool imagery and the vibe is very peaceful with dark/myserious undertones. It's meant to go with a piece of music seems early to judge so harshly.
The spider on top of the boot is weird though thank god that isn't on the main cover
Don't worry. I've found DT's album art to be one of the least impressive aspects of their discography, aside from a few exceptions.
The only one I really like is Awake, but even that one is too busy. 8vm art was fine, but nothing to write home about. It fit the concept though.
Octavarium is still a cooler title than the new album's title.
The music is mostly all I care about, anyway. Doesn't change my agreement about the art and title coming off as lacking creativity or originality.
and the shoes.... the shoes! Totally sticks out, no depth perception.
If it makes you feel better, the new album's art is wayyyy better than DT12's
