> I reiterate: half this stuff is amazing
It's such a fine line between "knowingly using the latest tools" and "throwing shit together". The Chicago one holds together both as the kitsch of a moment in time and continuing the band's general cover art vibe. The Echo and the Bunnyman does not. Yet I wouldn't be surprised if the same effort went into both.
