Why is it that
boy bands feel that no
album is complete without a
cover showing them sitting around in
faux pissed off mode?
I don't listen to bands such as these, but you've see the marketing materials hanging in the record stores. They look like a yearbook photo of a middle school production of West Side Story.
It's just a bit silly, really.
"ooh, look they must've been really angry about something on the day this was taken! Goodness, I wouldn't have wanted to be in the photographers shoes that day!"
I can't help but think that if
Simon and Garfunkel's 1968 album
Bookends came out today, the cover would look a bit
different. Picture Garfunkel's
fingers clenched in a
fist, Simon's
head tilted angrily, his mouth a
scowl as if he's
spitting out the
noise "ffff!"
