Rebel No. 1 about Cover Art: Past and Present
In the past it was different and people had less professional tools to make a smooth cover
So they often used a photo or something artistic, an art work
It looks relatively simple, but I always wonder about the story behind the cover
There's a reason why they placed this angel below him, there's a story behind it
And I think that, especially in the digital age we live in, most people download something untouchable and they often don't look at the cover
So I think it gets less important
And I miss that. There's a story behind this
And everyone sees something different, this is art and art is personal
This guy is a piece of art by itself :) So you don't have to add much to it
Look, you rarely see epic covers like this being released nowadays
This has even been painted, you can see all the small brushstrokes
I couldn't name a cover from a recent record being as fresh as this one
