this release looks like fun - |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nice cover art, looks like a manga version of "the sims". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes it very cool, i didnt realise j-hok was in a band though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Don't think he is... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who are the people on the cover then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
analyze the title |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
His family perhaps? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok i see - i read the family tree! my bad |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyway thats got to be the best cover art ive seen in a long time |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah it's pretty cool indeed :) imo draft 7.30's artwork was nice too though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That cover art is horrible - just the sort of crap design pollution this country is full of. Why do people think that sort of shit (that is done here to appeal to pre-teen girls) is cool? And ooh look it has Japanese writing! THat might might mean "kill your mum" but it doesnt matter because Japanese writing = cool. BTW can you tell I am in a bad mood because of SARS? |

BTW can you tell I am in a bad mood because of SARS? yep :) |

Death to Global Goon for creating such a visual monstrosity!! Its not exactly original either - that sort of crap been done so many times before. EG Blech cover in a similar vein but so so much better... And are any of you curious as to what it says? Its complete gibberish... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Like Chinese writing in old martial arts videogames just being the names of chinese restaurants? (Games designers sometimes copied the characters from their local chinese restaurant and used them on backgrounds etc.) I admit, it is funny the obsession some (western) people have with oriental text. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It would be lame if hadn't been done so many times before.. Its so tedious it is pathetic. In case anyone is interested the words say: Kodomo no hon no akane shoubo. Which means "Akane Childrens bookstore" (Akane is a persons name). = total bollox that has fuck all to do with anthing. Shame on you global goon! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it looks cool, and thats all that matters - what does it say tokyojo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You really think that looks cool? If it wasnt for some Japanese characters, would it still look cool? Wouldnt it be like the cover of some cretinous colouring book? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Akane Childrens bookstore - how is that gibberish? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Would there be any context for putting "aFeck's Childrens bookstore" on the cover of an album by GG? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well it contains a childrens book as well as an album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm with you tokyojo, i think it looks rubbish, the cover art for his last album vatican nites, was much better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Really? Where does it say that? If you / he / anyone else likes it then obviously what I think doesnt really matter - I just think there is too much bad and tacky design around already. Why add to it? Didnt mean to start ranting though Gomen nasai (sorry) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah that cover is gash. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Agree with you - cover of first album "Goon" was even better still I reckon. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what the difference between shi and yon? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Perhaps it's like I described with the chinese restaurant thing? J-hok just saw a photo of Akane's children's bookstore and thought the text was cool and copied it. Oh and it's not just the Japanese writing- it has the cat from "Hello Kitty" too! ^_^ (sorry, I couldn't resist that...) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
As in the two ways to say four? Nothing - but some circumstances you wouldnt want to say shi - because shinu also means to die - so there are connotations of death when you say shi rather than yon. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Isn't that a photo of Mim? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
DEATH TO HELLO KITTY! AND MIFFY AND ANPANMAN AND ALL THAT OTHER TOSS IN A BUCKET |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe hes going for a younger audience |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aah ok :) that's solved then one more question 'bout japan (if you don't mind), does everybody have toe-socks there? my uncle went to japan once and brought us all toe socks, they're quite funny, but i don't see the use actually |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I saw those for the first time at a house party last saturday... this girl noticed me staring at here feet in disbelief from across the room. Really weird. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have never seen those before in my life.. However, socks like that but with just one split between big toe and first toe are very common - becuase traditional Japanese shoes (called Geta) are like flip flops / thongs, so they have a split so the bit holding them onto your feet can go beween your toes... If you know what I mean (your probably dont though as that explanation was appalling). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is getting seriusly off topic now! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, I know the ones you mean... I've seen those before. Meant to be good for climbing as well as wearing sandals. But most people are not prehensile enough to use toes individually. Seems strange to use the extra fabric to cover each toe, especially as it looks less attractive than normal socks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A new realese from Global Goon, sweet. Lets hope its in the same vain as VN, i loved that album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yesss! back on topic! well done :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
horrible horrible cover... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it looks... gay... sorry... ah well i liked vatican nitez, and in a way it looks cool.. and those toe-socks.. must be desinged to keep toe fungii from spreading or sumthin |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
release-date? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aFecks, are you J-Hok? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think its an excellent cover. but of course the music is far more important isnt it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, that cover is really awful looking.. it fits in nicely with rephlex's intentionally cheesy tongue in cheek asthetic though speaking of ugly cover art..anyone else see the hail to the thief cover yet? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn.. i looked at that pic again... and that really is the gayest cover ive seen in a long time |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think the cover is great. It's tongue-in-cheek you fucks! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know ill end up getting that cd anyway.. :/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i thought it was satire... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
