If it's something, then I'm ready. But, it's probably not legit. It actually looks like they may be in that photo somewhere. In fact, it reminds me of this promotional picture a little bit:

Notice how that picture was actually posted by "John Clements" onto BoC's profile

There's absolutely no reason to say it's either legitimate or illegitimate without some official confirmation, but if it's fake, it has been TREMENDOUSLY well faked. Beautiful album art.

Yeah, I'm very VERY skeptical of its authenticty, but still, I'll give credit where credit is due. Not a bad album art.

Wasn't this posted here a long time ago and somebody on Twoism admitted to making it?

Pretty sure I remember some fake album art that was yellow and similar to th is.

I think I know what you're talking about but I don't think they're the same picture.

I really feel sorry of people who thought this could be real cover :(
If you remember - title font always changes, has a different location and size...so...absolutely fan made...classic made :)

yes. I recognize the people from the fake album art that was posted here some time ago, without the mirror effects. I also don't think BoC would use artwork this formuliac.

Besides....black font on this picture? naaaaaaaaaaaah.

Then again... Campfire Headphase looked so similar to MHTRTC that I would have said that was a fake at the time! :D

Agreed. I can't place it, but this feels familiar. Actually, doesn't that in itself mean it has to be genuine?!?

No. Fake IMO :wink:

the only thing worse than people posting fakes are all the people who think they are font experts or think that they could accurately judge or predict what kind of artistic choices boc would or wouldn't make for their next cover art.

"remember guys, font always changes....." "black font? no way" seriously just shut up

On the bright side, though, this very convincing artwork and the radio announcement came on the same day. Fingers crossed :)
