I’ve realized that for me, as a pure graphic designer (which I do less and less of these days), I was born in the wrong decade. To my eyes, this is what album covers should look like. That, or a big huge photo with essentially no “graphics” whatsoever. It takes serious cojones to make 5 lines and 3 dots on a black field and call it good… AND have it actually MEAN something, which it does. I love this stuff.

This album, and frankly this band in general, simply do not get enough credit. It could be the way they completely defy any genre-definition whatsoever. It’s rock, punk, hip-hop, funk, rap, pop, even a little ska, all rolled into a crazy mashup of goodness.
After seeing them open for Jay-Z the other night in Seattle I gained a renewed appreciation for their eclecticness.
