Honestly, I think that is the worst Cradle of Filth album cover they've used. How can anyone even compare album covers they use now to the ones on their older albums? It looks very immature and cartoonish, like some sort of attempt at a Tim Burton piece done with very amateur photoshop skills.But I'm really not fond of digital/photoshop album covers anyways.
The band started becoming a parody of themselves years ago but sometimes I wonder if they really are making fun of themselves. They're a little bit too cartoonish these days.
I'm a fan of their older stuff but I don't mind the new song. Traditionally, Cradle of Filth uses one of the album's weaker tracks for promotion, I can only assume the rest of the album is better. Whenever Dani writes a description of their upcoming album, he always say the same thing just in different words. And it's always their fastest and heaviest album to date according to him.
