Great music
Just stopped to listen to this album. I'll write a pair of words? (but often I write only smth negative LOL)
Cover: huge dissonance between a man and a tree.
Man was blurred too much (probably in Adobe Photoshop with Gaussian Blur filter or smth like that), but tree hasn't such blur.
Strange situation with shadows, I cannot imagine where is source of light (i.e. Sun).
Text ... "In Between Dreams" (colour RGB #FFFF66) looks over background (colour RGB #FFCC00) not good (hard to read), it must be any variant of brown colour (RGB #663300) for example. I'm not good in trees, but ... there is variant that this tree was made in procedural organic 3D modeller (Xfrog or smth like it).
Music: #7 - "Staple It Together" I like more others
And what do u think about the music then?
I am not the expert (unfrotunately) at graphics..but I have a good feeling from the cover. Those details you mentioned are not disturbing to me at all although it is very good to know about them just like that to be able to perceive them in future. So thanks for your comments =)
somtimes it is more important to focus on the content;
in this case for me it is important to feel the content; For: where did the good people go..?
And you Kika made me understand this!
