tlhk
10.08.13 | i always found the artwork for 5 to be kind of cheesy. i know what you mean though, i feel as if i subconsciously relate artwork to an album. if an album has stupid artwork, i expect it to be stupid. if it has cool artwork, i expect it to be good. it's always pleasing when it actually happens that way too, lol |

10.08.13 | @tlhlk Yeah I always sort of thought of the Laughing Stock cover as an improved Spirit of Eden. I'm also a firm believer that the way you package an album is nearly as important as what is inside, and for the most part, I find that if I like the cover, I'll end up liking at least some of the album. That changes from person to person (one may enjoy the dark and haunting covers of black metal, while another may prefer the majestic sci-fi and fantasy that occur so often in Prog Rock), and I feel it also has a good bit to do with personality. |

Your senses are not mutually exclusive. Just because you perceive art via different organs on your face doesn't mean that they can never be compared, or that the amount of pleasure they give individually can never be ranked. If that were the case, you could never say that you "enjoyed the book more than the movie." |
