Diamond Eyes - Thoughts + reviews

[Slacker]

loving the album, far exceeded my expectations considering the time they had to put it together.  dig the art.  speaking of which, it appears that Tones only paid about $1500 for that owl picture.... now thats a deal!   http://www.glowimages.com/index.cfm?/imageDetails_EN&imgid=20922297&extIntCode=0  go ahead and calculate the price for >1,000,000 prints and worldwide distribution.

Wow, it's a stock photo?

So much for Frank Maddock's "hard work."

that's complete bulllshit to use a stock photo...it sounds like a real cheap way to have a cover art.

[Far away]

Wow, that M83 remix is awesome.

i second that

Pre Ordered the Album

Feels better now

[Sushi-X]

Oh big fucking deal! New order and joy division used stock photos on their album covers. Did that have any effect on The music?NO!

I just agreed with the same thing in this one: http://www.sharinglungs.com/index.php/topic,16405.new.html#new
That definitely takes any cool factor away from it for me...I mean I can't think of any other album cover that uses a stock, pre-existing photo as it's main and only subject...

[Shadow46/2]

I'm not saying I hate it now. In fact I think it's pretty tight...for a stock photo. 

[Saturday Night Whiskey999]

cheap. its like when someone take a pic of an animal and sell it to a site...

but the feeling to see it on a deftones album cover its priceless.

i think you all would be quite surprised how many album covers came from stock photography.

like atf.

ATF? I thought Rick Kosick specifically took that for the album cover?

Wow as a designer I wasn't happy with the type, but dug the photo. Now knowing it is a stock photo saddens me. (maybe there is some sort of explanation for it, cost wise).

[m1nusblindfoLd]

Nevermoind..

[Dienekes]

I love it more the more Iook at it.

[NicholasHume]

Of course nobody likes knowing it's a stock photo, but that's how these things are done.
Nobody likes seeing how the sausage is made.
Don't look behind the curtain, it'll upset you.

[Subliminal]

Or maybe because it's a fuckin' excellent picture and they thought it would be perfect for the album..

[E-Money]

Wow, that M83 remix is awesome.

it's interesting

Its definitely really starting to grow on me.  The intro is meh but the last couple of minutes are DOPE

[indychinoluv]

I think the album is fucking killer (yes, me...the guy who fully panned their last two).

They're back with balls. Abes drumming is really flowing, ties all the riffs together.

Couldn't give a fuck about if the cover art is a stock photo. I suppose some people just have to pick holes.

Easily their most consistant and solid album since White Pony
