Album Cover #3

image

This cover is taken from a much more modern band and is of a sub genre ‘Modern Rock’ which is known as being a continuation of the modern rock of the 70s and 80s. The band is Modest Mouse and this album was produced in 2004.

Like the other covers, this one is showing a very simplistic design, a one tone background brought into contrast only by stark white arrows. Where the arrows are hitting there is a slight variation in the colour of the green and a trail. This could be a statement about how rock music is today with the many bands representing the arrow and the green ‘living’ background representing rock.

This album shows the opposite of my two previous analyses and has the band’s name and album title very small in the corner. This shows that the band has played more to advertising the album than they have themselves. This could represent how the industry is today with many bands being made to one conformity and with very little lasting potential.
