It was a shame to see that lame album cover on the CD. Who in God's namel wants to look at a blurry, faceless, shape of Yuki? I question the sanity of who ever dreamed up that crack induced idea.
What should have been done was this. They needed a cool, surreal, Salvador Dali kind of look to the album. They should have photographed the band in the red rock country of Southern Utah or Arizona. Dress the guys in black outfits, Yuki in white or vice versa and have them pose against the most surreal backdrop that is naturally made in America. It would have been ultra cool! Hopefully next time, they will read this and get a little inspiration and do it.
i have purchased and received the album, Asobi Seksu, I will be reviewing the entrie album here soon. First I have to listen to the complete album several times to get a feel for all the songs before I make a judgement call on them. I have already admitted to loving the first song on the album. I must have played it at least 50 times in the car today.
