Would have been kinda neat if it wasn't for the fucking gradient.

The gradient and light source seem at odds.

1900s are a psych-pop band from Chicago. that cover is terrible.

really tho, just sayin there are pfork writers who read ilm & the timing is such that someone could've seen the img post 6 days ago, gone "hey those are great covers" and contacted/interviewed the guy in recent days
just sayin

OMG I love how awful that Trail of Dead cover is. I didn't think it was possible to sink below the cover with the dead-eyed CGI chick (So Divided), but they did. Well done. I actually still fuck with this band though, they have their moments.

It's like they're trying to market it specifically to blind people.

The last Trail of Dead cover wasn't too offensive but WTF is this a Chronicles of Narnia concept album?
― Evan, Friday, 28 January 2011 19:15 (thirteen years ago) link
i think i will be giving them another try in 2011 just in case that heralds their bounce back to top form with a steampunk fantasy concept album

I know I'm in an ever dwindling minority, but as I said earlier I still mess with AYWKUBTTOD, partially because how ridiculously OTT they are - in artwork, arrangements, even live. I saw them play like a 12:30 PM set at Lollapalooza the first year of its Chicago residency, and they played like they were in a dank club at two in the morning. Tore the shit out of their instruments (literally, towards the end of the set), spent half the time in the crowd (no small feat with the way the stage was set-up), and seemed to not give a fuck that they had a small crowd and a shitty time slot.

I think that "Tao of the Dead" album looks pretty awesome, like a poster for a steampunk cartoon or comic book. (Possibly the reason I like it is that I've nothing against steampunk fiction, and I don't quite get why many ILXors seem to hate it.) Much better than the sort of album covers with a mundane, faded 1970s polaroid and an IKEA-friendly font, which seem to get a lot of praise in these threads.
