Has anybody got any quote or any word on any member of the band explaining the choice of shot or the art direction at all?

Cheers.

I'd love to hear an explanation for that! Decent photo, but awful album cover. The one on the back would have been better. The whole booklet was badly put together in my opinion, even worse than the one for ATYCLB.
 
I reckon it was something like this

"Hey Anton, take the photos from far away and make it grainy so we look young and cool"

HTDAAB is definitely the worst cover! There is a similar but much better photo right inside that booklet!

I kinda like October's cover actually. Forget the crazy hair but they're at least all looking in different directions and not all facing the camera like on a typical boy band album cover! :yuck: Besides, the Hanouver Quay backdrop looks cool.
 
"Hey, we want to show everyone we're ready to ROCK OUT again with killer cuts like Vertigo and All Because of You!"

"Yeah, but we're all tired so maybe we should just sit down for the cover."

"Someone should cross their legs too, even more hardcore!"
