Why wouldn't anyone at Strange (or anyone who does graphics for Strange) not be able to "swallow their pride"?? It's not as if they're going to say "Well I fuckin' hate that new Tech graphic, but I don't have the balls to tell the people on the siccness."
And I seriously doubt that when I play a CD for someone, no matter the artist or the album cover, they're going to tell me.. "Well the music is fuckin' fire, but the album cover is so lame that I refuse to listen to it..."
That's something that I would say, but I'm a dick, so I'd do that just to piss someone off.
