Solid artwork, and I agree about the parental advisory graphic!

Do you think the diamonds in hair could be a subtle juxtaposition to the whole story being told by the photo, or just a flex?

Also, on a petty note, I cannot unsee the other eye on his chest. Especially when his eye is a big part of the artwork.

Yeah, I think so as well. Keen to see how they’ll incorperate this into touring posters and stuff.

Haha I wish I did not see it man, stares at me all the time now!

Agreed - eye catching cover that will still look powerful in the next decades

I share the same sentiments when it comes to listening to the album. The cover art definitely drew me in (in addition to Fahmeed's motion work: https://www.instagram.com/p/CsRolqIvEEX/) but the project itself left a lot to be desired. This cover is def a standout piece in his lineup.

Great review as always Sam!
