The way I have become nothing but a little cash pig for Ms Abel over the last 18 months.. the power he has over my bank account..
I wasn’t a big fan of the After Hours cover initially, but it all really clicked once I saw the videos and heard the album. So I’m more open to this cover with that in mind. I got the 02 alternate cover on CD and vinyl for now because I don’t trust that he won’t have a bunch of other variants pop up over the next few months.
Truly one of the worst sleeves of any big pop girl recently, but those alternate ones are quite pretty.
Conceptually it makes sense, I guess, but so does the alternate cover which is so wildly better it feels like one of those “lol I’m going to troll my fans” scenarios.
Yeah the cover is not great. I feel like if it was a painting it could work? Love the alternate covers though.
I don't mind the cover. I'm intrigued as to why he's old on it when so many pop stars are so bothered with trying to look younger than they really are. It may not be the most attractive image of him but it's certainly interesting.
Nn I like how jarring the cover is, it's like The Fates hopped into his ride on the way to the afterlife.
