Why the long face?

Don't like it. My expectations for Deconstruction keep falling...

It's been hyped way too much. Hard to meet such high expectations. If anyone can do it it is Devy, though.

Um.

Oh well, I'm still incredibly excited for this album.

I kinda dig the huge cat face thing in the back, looks like something Jhonen Vasquez would do. Not so sure about the toon-ified Devy in the front.

And yeah, there's been a whole lot of hype for Deconstruction, but I don't expect I'll be disappointed.

That was my first thought.

I think what I don't like about this album cover is the fact that it doesn't fit in with the mellow vibes of the other three DTP covers. I look at all four side-by-side and the Deconstruction cover comes across as being utterly ridiculous. I prefer the subtlety of Ki, Addicted, and Ghost.

The more I expect a disaster, the more likelihood of my being pleasantly surprised!

To be fair, Deconstruction doesn't seem like it'd be a very subtle album to begin with. But yeah, the cover art is a bit wacky.



You honestly expect a disaster? Everything I've heard from the trailer videos have sounded amazing. There's too much hype, for sure, but I really don't think he'd disappoint.

Yes, apparently there's a heavy Industrial influence to some tracks, including gabba beats. I'll wait to hear it... could be brilliant, could be awful.

Perhaps not a disaster, Leg, but neither would I call what I've heard so far amazing. I think he might be a couple of years too late with this, if it's as Meshuggah-y as it sounds. Devy does djent?

I'm on this train. That cover is awful.

I really don't know what to think of it. I'd call it intriguing. No doubt about it that Ghost's cover is a lot better though.

I have a feeling Deconstruction will be completely ridiculous compared to the other 3 DTP albums.

True.

Regardless, it would be nice to have seen something a little more... sophisticated?... for the Deconstruction cover.

Purple is a pretty sophisticated colour.

The people at MetalSucks claimed to have heard it and say it's amazing so I won't be bummed out just yet.

If there is any djent in it, I'm pretty sure it'd be tounge-in-cheek. iirc, I think one of the lyrics is supposed to be "We all rip off Meshuggah," so take that for what it's worth.



Because the cover art is a good indication of how good/bad the music will be. Dude, c'mon.

Speaking of cover art and bad music... the new N Flamez album artwork!

Almost the same as the single artwork. Bah.

Regarding Deconstruction, I'm on Goat's train as well. I'm a huge fan of Devy, almost since the beginning. I had poor expectations for his new releases every single time he had one to offer. And what, 15 years later ?he has yet to disappoint me.
Yes, I really liked Ziltoid.
