by Sliced-T on 2008-05-12 22:13:17 Font is bad, glow is really bad, radial glow halo thing is really really bad, but the sketch is nice. I give this album art 6/10

by SydBarrett420 on 2008-05-12 22:16:13 Long awaited by whom? The people who liked Offspring to begin with most likely have moved onto better bands and the younger crowd only knows Offspring from they horrible post Ixnay days.

I said this two Offspring posts ago, but it bears repeating.

by mikexdude on 2008-05-12 22:37:27 http://www.myspace.com/anteupdc I'm more of a fan of artwork that looks somewhat drawn... not so computer/photoshop-y. I think Ixnay was their best.

by MATKO5000 on 2008-05-12 23:12:57 http://matko5000.hyves.nl/ The angel looks pretty cool, but the font kinda sucks indeed. But it's about the music. (No it doesn't suck.) Yeah so bland. They took a decent illustration and ruined it with cheesy Photoshop glows. I gladly would have drawn something for them! Oh well. Art Director guy at the label probably phoned it in.

by Chupachup_Punk on 2008-05-12 23:21:55 Who’s responsible for this artwork? A 1st year design student? For a band of their calibre we want to be wowed, not left saying wow that sucks

by theJUNGLEbrook on 2008-05-13 01:32:25 http://www.garyspivey.net i found some mardi gras beads on the ground at warped tour a few years ago. they had fake plastic boobs attached. i saw dexter, so i offered them to him. he was a huge jerk for no reason. thats probably why this album cover sucks so bad.

That's really horrible. Im trying to think about all the CDs I own and I don't think any of them are that bad. It's so generic...
Re: The Offspring reveal album artwork
by ChadReligion on 2008-05-13 01:52:52 This looks like the most horribble, cheapest, nu-metal album cover ever..... this is what bands like Saliva and Buckcherry would use ... Disgusted
Re: The Offspring reveal album artwork
by Citizenkassidy on 2008-05-13 02:01:35 nice to see that time was put into this. my little sister could make this in photoshop in roughly 15 minutes. very, very lame album cover!

this looks like total ass. this band is huge, they could afford something that doesn't look like an overzealous teens high school graphic design design-your-own-album cover project.

this album art is perfect, bc just like the offspring, it's really bad. my guess is that they were walking through some trashy carnival said, "alright dudes...let's just throw the dart at one of the airbrushed designs, and whichever one sticks, we'll use it as our cover art."
Re: The Offspring reveal album artwork
by ludwigg on 2008-05-13 09:16:16 it also reminds me of bad fan art that fans make and send to band. nice gesture, but usually the drawings or designs are really poor.
