The "Controversial Cover Art" thread

[Blood Music]

No offense to any band ever, but I should just say that many artists should not be in charge of talking about their own material. Either for the reason above (over-thinking it) or the opposite (trying to shy as far away from it as possible).

There's no question at all to me why it's like that, creating something and releasing it conjures a lot of emotions and some artists go BIG and some go small. I've dealt with both sides of the coin many times and everything in between. As tacky as it seems, having someone outside the band write the main PR to kick it off can sometimes be preferable.

Hell, who could write an objective viewpoint of their own life? I think it's just the same as someone writing about their own art.
