It's true that it's a composite work, rather than an album cover design drawn up from scratch. But I think the meaning behind the choice of the photograph and the font style of the title in the lower corner is more profound than the first glance impression might tell and that, in my view, counts as part of the artistic process. What’s the profound meaning? 1 minute ago, pacejunkie punk said: That was me 😌 Ok you’re definitely doing it on purpose now. And I laughed this time so thanks for the morning chuckle!
Redundantuserjinxboy Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 I like the cover it reminds me of a dead kennedys album cover. Like "Fresh Fruit for Rotten Vegetables."

MillenniumFan Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 9 minutes ago, DookieLukie said: What’s the profound meaning? Not sure and it's very hard to tell not having listened to the album, but here are a few interesting things to note: The Green Day in bold font is burning/glowing (the gust of the flame is visible for the D) Saviors being in italics and in quotation marks is an interesting stylistic choice. I don't know if it's a hint at newspaper print or something else related to past events, a satirical take etc. If you look closely at the album cover you can see what looks like a Y-shape in the background, in two or three different iterations The face of the boy was edited, not sure to what or to whom, but seems relevant This is not an exhaustive list, I'm sure there's other stuff I haven't picked up on. There's clearly some thought behind this. 2

I’m sure people love you for who you are.
jengd Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 I’m not getting into a discussion about the cover until we have it confirmed. Not at all convinced by this one. 1

Karl Karlson Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 I can't pre-order the "hot pink" vinyl... "Product "SAVIORS Lt Ed Store Exclusive Clear w Hot Pink Galaxy Vinyl LP" has an invalid price assigned". Maybe after 3PM EDIT: a minute after posting it was fixed...someone's watching haha
Popular Post ANTI Posted October 24, 2023 Popular Post Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) I think I'm alone on this train, but I love this cover, it gives me an IDLES feel. I thought the "Saviors" name was super cheesy, but this picture completely changes the meaning of that. They're challenging the use of the word savior, hence the use of (") in the name; it's ironic, it's ballsy, and unapologetically political. I'm very impressed they went with something so controversial for this. The only thing I would change is putting the black and pink filter they had been using on the lyrics sheet instead of the black and white, to make it a little more unique, but overall, this whole art direction has me even more hyped up. Welcome back boys! Edited October 24, 2023 by ANTI 10 1
