It is the fucking cover. I don't get you people sometimes. You want Tech to be huge/mainstream, think he should be platinum, etc, then expect him to have Friday the 13th on the cover. The music on this album is not that dark. It's not that sinister. But it kicks your fucking ass just the same. Everyone on here is a fucking critic. If you don't like it, make your own fucking cover (I've seen like 20 on this board) and insert it inside YOUR CD. Good day....
hahah pure comedy... i bet some kids are gonna make their own covers and post it.... like "wouldnt this have been much cooler"
but having said that,
there are some things that i'd like to say
Alice Cooper - Platinum (in the 70's, the most controversial image of the time and that was the time the alice cooper band sold the most (shitloads) of records.)
Slayer - not platinum but #5 on billboard 200 (There's an amputated Christ standing in a pool of shit on the cover)
etc...
Tech has always said he's not gonna make a compromise and bow down to what anyone has to say. so my naive self might believe that this "new image" is his decision and not the result of out side pressure...?
edit: i might add that i like that cover. it's way better than cheesy gore/horror shit. (not saying all gore shit is cheezy or funny) it's more universal. and as long as the music's hard , i don't give fuck.
