The Enemy - Music For The People Album Artwork


www.theenemy.com

I have recently bought the album, 'Music For The People' by the band The Enemy. Im a huge fan of the band and the latest album cover has an amazingly simple image that I found really interesting. The album has been evaluated by the website 'Drowned In Sound', who explain the album as,

"music for the people is a bold step ahead of the coventry trio's debut album, mixing the warm, richer texture of recording to tape with songs full of strident ambition" (http://drownedinsound.com/releases/14308)

I think the album artwork has been linked to the sound of the enemy, with the warm colours and the circle on the album representing a sense of togetherness and completion of great songs.

"The album cover for new album 'Music For The People' has been revealed. In this weeks NME magazine Tom was quoted as saying "I wanted something that was classic, iconic and instantly recognisable for this album."" (http://www.theenemy.com/news,artwork-revealed_38.htm)

The album cover has definitely done this with the striking image being the first album I seen when I walked into HMV. I really like the mix of warm colours making up the circle, which I am unsure of how it was actually created. To me it looks like a lens flair on a photograph but it could of been created in photoshop, but however it was made I think the album artwork in fantastic that is eye-catching and relevant to the band and the album.
