Matthew Good - Hospital Music

[soundless_space]

LOLZZZZ. That is hilarious.

[Yossarian]

I think it's an awful cover. Matt looks constipated. They could have done a lot better.

[ToadMan]

LOL drag and drop song.

 

We only like positive opinions here ;)

[Shiri]

I dislike covers that have the band/musician's faces on them. Meh.

[Manchalivin]

Yes, but this isn't just the normal cover with a band/musician's face on it. It's painted and I think it's very cool. I think it's a nice cover for this album. It's amazing how accurate he painted it but you can still easily tell it's not a picture if you look close enough. Especially the suit, oddly enough his face is harder to tell, for me anyway. Not knocking the painting in the least here, just saying. I don't think anyone could paint that good that it would look exactly like a photograph.

[Guest Prosis]

Yeah I think the final result on the sleeve will give us a far better idea of what it actually looks like. Because on a computer, it looks like a picture that's been photoshoped to become orange. But I'm sure that once the record is in our hand, we'll be able to see the painting more clearly.

[Shiri]

Yeah, it's definitely better that it's a painting and not just a photograph. But still, I'd much rather some of Matt's artwork instead of a painting of him.

[Gomo]

Well, the album is him through and through. I don't have a problem with him trying to convey that on his album cover.

[bryce]

The cover art is very bleh.

[Crusader]

it's a pretty good painting imo. i just thought that it would be more... hospitally?

 

ps. i renmaed this thread so it didnt look so ugly

[Hyphnip]

yeah, I thought the same thing. instead, it is just a painting of Matt. It kind of reminds me of the Avalanche cover (not the one with the semi-clear blue plastic)

[Gomo]

Yeah, it's definitely better that it's a painting and not just a photograph. But still, I'd much rather some of Matt's artwork instead of a painting of him.

So do you not like the Avalanche cover art either?

[Monochrome Rainbow]

I like the Avalanche LP cover art way more than the CD. The only cool part of the CD art is it kinda resembles Rodin's "Thinker".

[Shiri]

Yeah, the Avalanche cover is pretty meh as well.

[bryce]

I actually kind of dug the avalanche cover. Perhaps because of the colors or whatever. The disc art is where it's at though.

[Peter]

Boo hoo, the cover art is a picture of Matthew Good, now I can't sit and look at it for 10 hours.

Note the new songs written on the left.

 

We've heard the demo for "If I Was A Tidal Wave", and he mentioned writing "Keira-Anne" when he was with Dale Jr. down south. It's great to see that new material keeps being churned out.

[Gomo]

Suburbia? Holy shit. Is he going to play that on the tour??

[shade]

suburbia is teh pwn.

[Gomo]

Yeah definitely. If that's a future setlist, there's a few songs on there I'm not that excited about and a few I'm glad to see, but I'm not gonna complain. It's all good. No pun intended.
