CD Covers and Representation

CD annotation NO 1

The place looks like it is haunted, this suggests that the music will have a hard edge to it and that the lyrics could be quite haunting.

Even the writing on the album cover isn’t simple. You’d likely not get this style if you were listening to a pop CD for instance

The album cover has 2 main dark colours, this is another part of the cover that shows you are probably getting music that has a sinister edge to it.

Genre would be punk type rock though the cover is different to the type you’d usually get for punk CD’s

Could say different genres but I’d say catchy pop rock. It’s really hard to guess the genre from the cover.

CD annotation NO 5

The band automatically fill the stereotype of looking indie, which they are.

The image shows the band hard at work, this could suggest to us that they’ve put a lot of work into the album.

As said previously the genre of this band would go under the indie label and the cover represents this
