you beat me to it….I’ll just copy/paste my text here:
There it is. I dunno why people get all excited about cover art unveilings. We all know you’re just gonna d/l it off some torrent network and never look at the art.
None the less. The overlords at Creative Loafing wanted it posted and now it is.
I got 5 that says the album’s a total snore fest.

Actually, any album that lands on my desk that has cool cover art is sure to get at least one spin. I’m sorry, but if you put time into making something that’s funny/artistic/just plain cool on your CD, you deserve a shot. Now this is not to say that these bands are good — good art does not equate to good music, obviously — but a music critic may be more likely to pick up your album if said critic has never heard of you and you have cool album art.
my 2 cents.

I don’t contest that point at all Leilani. However, we’re in the position where the albums are being sent to us whether we want them or not.
Most folks are pulling that shit right from WhatCD.

The album cover was shot in Milwaukee, WI a couple weeks ago when the played a two-nights in April.
