Cute Is What We Aim For - The Same Old Blood Rush with a New Touch

This album cover is exciting to me, so much so that I almost want to buy it just for the artwork. The seemingly artificial watercolour effect adds a nice level of texture. I also really like the rendering of the girl – provocative though it may be – in contrast to the faceless rendering of the significantly smaller male figures most probably the band). The mixture of pink, green and yellow is also particularly effective though they are not vivid but almost pastel colours. The movement of the paint conveys freedom as are very washy but also contrasts to the splatters which gives the album a movement and a more animated background to the static and almost monochrome figures.
