AHAHAHAHA! I don't care what you guys say, that artwork is stupid. It's probably some of the worst artwork I've ever seen.
I liked the sample though.

/\ I kinda personally prefer Thorgerson's work to Jordan's....it looks kinda cool but a bit cliched. It's not confirmed as the album's official cover though

The artwork is better than Amputechture's.  The music sounds like a mess of dissonant, meaningless screeches of various instruments.

Even though Amputechture's was bad, I think this is definately worse because the colors are so freaking oversaturated it hurts my eyes besides being a completely asinine concept.
Why do you say "dissonant, meaningless screeches" as if it were a bad thing?

Man, I want to like this band. I have Deloused, Frances, and Amputechture.... And every time I listen to it, my ears begin to hurt. There is this weird high-pitched noise that is almost constant throughout all of their albums that I just can't get past.....

That pretty much describes my reaction too.

PHP, can you not mention leaks and such here? That's a pretty touchy subject.
Thanks!

Because "meaningless" is a bad quality and adding dissonance to meaninglessness is adding insult to injury.

not sure this is actually it but this came up on the Comatorium  the actual alleged cover...I kinda like it more because it's not as contrasting/ridiculous. However, I'm feeling they should lose the desert theme after this album : /

Volta are actually highly, HIGHLY canorous compared to bands like Time of Orchids and Upsilon Acrux...just to throw some names out there that to ME at least are quintessentially dissonant and meaninglessness...more so the former.
But yeah, back on subject, the artwork's alright if that's real, I actually think the turban butterfly/moth/flower hybrid is more daring w/r/t Jeff Jordan's work, but meh...
