! Invaders Must Die !

oh my fuck!
these are all good!

Yeah :D some of them are actually better than the official cover

Btw, just curious but is this the 10th time you change your username?
I remember it being Bart, then UUU Bart then UUU BBB then run with the piranas and now RWTF

Whats up with that?

Well, I always find a new (better) name. Thats it.

The artwork reminds of what Chemical Brothers did in the Surrender era!

Gotta say im not that impressed with some of these, They look a bit rushed compared to some of Insects other more layered work. They have gone for the Banksy screenprint style effect but its been done to death by so many bands! It doesn't feel fresh, i do like the new logo though and think that rocks but i dont think it sits well with the tracklisting and title font.

Their last album was done by House@Intro who is a fucking genius, but also very expensive. This looks to me like its been done on a tighter budget and looks cheaper than anything that would of been done on XL recordings.

Its not consistant either, the Omen single uses a photograph and the album cover doest, look at AONO singles and as a set they look fucking amazing together.

+1

Yea AONO sits well as a set but it was a hardly a fantastic album design was it? especially the singles, they looked horrible in my opinion.

In my opinion they worked well, they looked a lot more refined and polished design wise than IMD, mostly because Intro are a top design agency

This just looks cheap and basically predictable, one of the best album covers ever made and still gets ranked highly now is Fotl, because its iconic and jumped out of the record shop and caught your attention.

IMD just looks run of the mill, which is a shame as so much more could of been done given the quality of tracks on there

I agree with most of your points there mate, fotl is ofcourse Iconic. To create an icon is an extremley difficult thing to do in the world of graphic design. Only thing is they've achieved that and they probably wanted something fresh.

I agree that the whole graphics surrounding IMD are pretty weak. I do like the IMD logo and feel that would have possibly been a better choice for the album cover on a black background. Some may have called it lazy but those words have an impact, when sat on a shelf that would deffinetly catch my eye.

Either that or just some untapped/slightly modified posters from the early space/invader film scene. Some stuff they braught out early on was sweet as nut. They've just went a bit over the score with photoshop and came up with something that looks a bit bland and well..... not very unique.

indeed. main thing is done with these words. for me its totally fresh and main theme goes well with the title message

maybe the album will be one of those with the slip case over it. always thought that would be cool. like the Justice live CD/DVD release. have the casing be the simple font against black background and the actual CD be the cover we now know.

who knows until it's out.

Exactly man the space/invader theme was ace, the new T with the B-Movie type poster graphics really worked and could of developed into something clever.

Just a missed opportunity i think, some people will love it with its references to destruction/war/guns and all that shit but to me its cliche'd
