Meh, it doesn't really bother me. I just think the cover as a whole is kickass.

From my understanding, Jeremy said it was to be called Escape Artist on his Facebook page.

Hahahah, AGREED.

Dear lord. *shudders* This guy trumps Naveed puppet and Clumsy booklet, tenfold.

The cover is very cool. The font and colour of the band's name and the album name give me a very peaceful, artsy, acoustic feel, and for whatever reason make me think of sunshine and happiness. The man reminds me of Sol, and the carnival below makes me think of Clumsy. I'm not entirely sure if that was an intentional nod, but I can only assume so because I'm sure they could guess that we'd make some kind of connection between the two.

I like it.

Hunh. That's true and kinda interesting. The rides in the background also reflect back to Gravity's cover, with the roller coaster behind the band.

I was thinking about this as soon as I saw the dude on the cover and to me it is pretty much Ray Kurzweil

I also like the Dali-esque addition of the magnifying glass

How intentional do you think these references from cover-to-cover are? Did they go out and say, "Hey, let's make this remind our fans of this!"

Hard to say! The band's obviously clever enough to do that, but it could also be completely unintentional.

Maybe! We can pretend, at least!

I add my voice to those who like the cover. It gives us our first physical glimpse at the personality of this album.

On top of that, they wouldn't put this stuff up without plans of more to come SOON! We might get small updates with little content, but at least we know that with this new site launching this early in the year we'll be rocking out to new STUDIO OLP before St Nick gets in his sleigh. (I meant for that to sound hopeful, and not depressing) :duncan:

No kidding. Why must you people have lives and not be dedicated to the boards? Sigh.
