making political punk rock is totally the same as self-immolating in protest

I think about this one everyday

This is satire right

I love that album but what is deep about the cover? Just some random words and phrases thrown together in a great way.

>>75140152
They made the album in LA and wanted the album cover to capture the feel of the city, so they all took note of every advertisement they saw near the studio and wrote the biggest words into the cover. If you have access to the rest of the album art the words are arranged in the shape of LA, New York, London and so on as well. In classic Radiohead fashion it's only deep when it gets explained to you, they've never been good at delivering an album cover that immediately engages you.

>>75140152
it's a map of LA but the buildings have been replaced with words that Stanley Donwood saw on billboards in LA.

Aah, didn't know that. Damn those fuckers that is pretty neat.
Are there similar stories about their other album covers?

>>75140127
WHAT DO YOU THINK, NINCOMPOOP
HOLY FUCKING CHRIST THIS WEBSITE!!!

>>75140279
That's the only one with a clear concept behind it, I think. All of the covers have come about from Stanley Donwood painting shit while listening to the music, and then it's tweaked to Thom's liking with some sparse lyrics thrown in here and there.

>>75140296
If you've stayed with Muse this long your understanding of metaphors has probably gone out the window.

>>75139773
Whenever I see this shitty cover I wonder why they didn't just use the window there as the cover. Why even have that hand like what the fuck?

>>75140333
Yeah, I did know about Stanley doing all the artwork for every album. I've seen that they are pretty particular about the aesthetic around each album. Even their stage design guy, who they've worked with for 25+ years, listens to every album and designs the stage around that particular feel and creates a special ambience according to the music.

>>75140279
i think the last couple albums' art is stanley experimenting with different stuff
In Rainbows was him experimenting with acid washing
i think TKOL was him doing forestscapes with juxtaposed vibrant-muddy colours
AMSP was like monochrome art

>>75140352
They were trying to allude to us all being controlled by the Jews.

>>75140602
That's quite interesting. Fuckin hell I've been into their music for more than a decade now and still keep finding new shit about them everyday.
