Derek™ Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Knowing that they come unglued that easily, I’m afraid that I’m now gonna’ have to dust off my IG account and see if I can’t push their buttons a bit.

N8TRU Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 No one likes the alternate artwork. The fact they haven't sold out of the limited ones for both speaks volumes. The timed preorders aren't necessary at this point. Justinadamk, MCDELTAT and chrisapple 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can still see comments and even add my own to every other post, though. I guess when you’re receiving too much flack, just silence the masses and ignore any feedback. I wasn’t even being rude or negative, I just asked if there was a reason they opted for embarrassing new album art. I was trying to drive a constructive conversation. xfactor675 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N8TRU Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 The only reason I can think of for why they didn't use the original artwork is they lost the source/original file and it won't look good blown up to a record jacket.

Could be possible they just licensed the old artwork instead of buying it outright for use and that license expired, or they agreed to pay the artist a percentage cut of sales when the artwork is used and figured out they could do it cheaper this way. I've seen the latter happen before with M:tG cards. Edited November 4, 2022 by 75 percent oof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Before they removed / blocked comments on that post this morning, whoever runs the account was insisting that it’s “to keep each version unique”. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Rich is heavily involved in all aspects of this band including making the decision to change covers. I think he evens runs the social accounts honestly. When you look at the aesthetic of his latest solo project, Hospital Gown, the direction on these covers is not that far removed from everything going on there. I think he very much wants to have a group of releases all using the same style of design, in the same way The Dear Hunter has changed their artistic direction for covers over time (Hell, I wouldn't be surprised to see new pressings of The Ocean and The Sun with new artwork also so they can have a complete reissue series all using a similar design set). This is all my speculation after following Rich/Hospital Gown/TSOAF accounts for quite awhile now Edited November 5, 2022 by Justinadamk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 So you’re saying I should spam all photos on all 3 of those Instagram accounts? Is that what I’m reading between the lines here? ditc586, xfactor675 and ejc625 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenameisluigi Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I feel like your response to "you bought this?" should be "You know what I didn't buy? Your reissue." xfactor675 and N8TRU 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circuit bored records Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) Somehow the fact that they are releasing new music (which should be a fairly big deal) was completely overshadowed by the horrible reissue artwork for their old albums. Terrible marketing strategy. also can’t help but love they turned comments off on the Instagram post for what I can only presume was an onslaught of highly entertaining internet criticism.

xfactor675 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) I love how he didn't and still doesn't even understand that my initial issue was that they didn't use the og artwork. And yet he got personal on my appearance (and other bands' artworks I had nothing to do with just liking the record). Sounds like a great dude.
