don't get me wrong, i'm not teetering on the edge of a building here becasue they went the direction they did for the album cover. imagine you see people in your line of work, your field doing work you were never taught to do because it was just that mediocre. instead, make something that really showcases the talents you have. it could be paving sidewalks for all i care. the point is if you are an artist, designer, photographer and you look at the finished album, you have to admit that there were no boundaries pushed and little creativity, something that has been a U2 hallmark for the better part of their decade. they pulled the plug at a time when they are plugging anything they can, including their Ipod chargers. I like continuity and innovation in U2 and all im saying is that they took a few steps backwards.
I am not ranting, i just feel they are worthy of being criticized because they are artists. i wholly believe that there were much greater arguments behind closed doors, criticizing their own ideas in song and design. plus, as an artist, you indirectly/ automatically open the doors for criticism because you are making an image for someone to see, even if its yourself. we are judgmental creatures, and it is only fair to do this. its the nature of the artist to be a critic- as you make something you are always weighing one thing against another.
btw, i am 22 years old and have been an artist my entire life.
i'd like to think my opinion counts and not be insulted for that.
thank you for your cooperation...robocop was cool
