Every Time I Die - Radical (October 22, 2021) • Page 71

it's my favorite

 

Not much more you can do than proof of vax or onsite negative covid test for entry. Problem was on day 2 everyone stopped wearing their masks

 

Low Tweens is the prequel EP

 

The Low Teens cover looks like they forgot to make an album cover until a few days before it release so they just wrote the title against a black background. It's not bad but it's just kind of there.

 

I don’t even consider it album art. It’s just words. Album art to me has to be a visual image not just words so Low Teens doesn’t even count to me as album “art”.

Don’t mean to light any fires if that’s a hot take or if there are art connoisseurs around here lol

 

Seems like a strange hill to die on. The title is stylized and fits the album imo, it's not Donda lol

 

Who’s dying on this hill lol a couple people make comments, it’s not a defended position lol

 

It's a figure of speech, this just read like a weirdly strong opinion to me

 

lol, sorry I couldn't keep scrolling without commenting

 

Maybe I'm just easy to please but I dig all of their album covers, they've never really done the "same" thing for any of them which I think is really cool. Even Low Teens being the only one with just the text (and might I add cool font and coloring)

 

sorry for saying I like the low teens art lol

 

me: I like the low teens art
some weirdo: actually it’s not art

 

actually i am an art connesiuer and he's right, words are not art

 

*Graphic design degree haver has entered the chat *

low teens art is very good

 

Either everything is art or nothing is art

 

Some of ya’ll need to breathe it ain’t that serious lol

also I need someone to rank the back covers now for the full trifecta of rankings.

 

There's a lot of calligraphers out there who are very mad at you right now

 

Low Teens is now my favorite art.

 

my apologies to the profession. Just a random persons thoughts on the Internet lol

 

ex lives is the only one with a good cover

 

Ex lives also has their most underrated song, drag king.

 

I've been into this scene since the early 2000s and have managed to entirely miss ETID, I'm looking forward to remedying that. Should I still approach them chronologically at this point in their careers? Anything I can miss?

 

It probably doesnt hurt to just start from the beginning. I dont ever return to Last Night in Town but, for the sake of doing a first time discog run you might as well tune in.

 

Sorry if this just takes the album art conversation one step further into insanity but I loooove the font used specifically for the band name on the Low Teens cover. Definitely my favorite stylization they’ve done

 

I do enjoy the type treatment that they gave to both the "Low Teens" part as well as the band name, but in the end I just don't feel a connection between the art, the title and/or the themes of the album, which is why I personally don't find the cover of that record compelling.

It's a testament to the strength of that record that it took this thread (sup Jake) talking about it to consider the art because every song on Low Teens whips too much ass.

 

Fuck Art

NO WEAKNESSES
