absolutely and I think you totally succeeded there
I fail to see that. To me the album sounds totally different to what the cover looks like. I would never expect a metal album by just looking at this cover, it's so "un-metal". I hope I'm not sounding narrow-minded because I believe I'm not. I'm far from thinking everything has to look or sound "metal". But I guess that's not even what you meant when you said it reflects the sound.
Anyway, I'm not having a big problem with cover art I don't like......I'm much more listening to an album than looking at it
