Mobile is one of my faves from LG.
Btw, what do you guys think of the new photo's where she stands in front of a wall? Those are nice for cover anc back of AL7. But I guess those aren't for that purpose.

My guess is that those pictures are from the music video (?) She only had the black extensions for the music video so far or that we're aware of. The wall does seem similar to somewhere near where modsun posted that video. Maybe they just did some pictures bc why not? xD
I hope we'll get something more elaborated than those pics or pool pics for the album, even tho i loved them. But they doesn't seem to have a purpose or theme or anything. I want a cohesive album and theme and color palette, everything should just fit. I love the pics but they aren't cover art material, at least for my taste ://
GL was a great photoshoot album, she just chose the worst photo as the cover....🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️

I truly like how cohesive HAW photoshoots were: plain sweaters and dresses. I'm enjoying the shoots she's been uploading so far, I always thought black fitted her perfectly

I'm hoping she'll maybe again do some photoshoots with a "uniformish" attire too, she looked very badass and confident in the antique jacket/coat thing below, and I suppose one could count the odd shirt with red X from UMS also as sort of a uniform, and that one was pretty cool looking, too ;-).

My thought was the most recent pics she uploaded with the black extensions were from on set of the music video for Flames, not AL7.

Remastered tracks are really done more for albums that were released before digital recording was a thing. I’m not sure if an album from 2002 would really benefit that much from remastering but maybe they could try it I guess. Well there's the whole loudness war thing influencing the actual dynamics of tracks from back then. Though depending on their listening setup, ears, etc that might or might not matter to people. IMO Let Go didn't really suffer at all from the loudness war in its mixing but some might disagree. So there's something to be said for remastering early 2000s music. I think the pictures are just ones they took while shooting the music video that they're using for promo purposes because well why not? Same as the pool ones that were shot on the same day as they were shooting pictures for the Flames cover. I'd be surprised if one of these actually gets used as the cover for AL7 because they're already showing them and they're being shot while working on Mod Sun's music. Though I guess that might be efficient? I'm hoping she'll maybe again do some photoshoots with a "uniformish" attire too, she looked very badass and confident in the antique jacket/coat thing below, and I suppose one could count the odd shirt with red X from UMS also as sort of a uniform, and that one was pretty cool looking, too ;-). Love this! It's very Hendrix.

To be honest...they were VERY lame with the HAW booklet. They added the worst pictures and only the underwater photoshoot which was basically ALL blurred and messy....but oh well....that was her aesthetic from 2016-2019 i guess... There were some photoshoots that weren't added like the one with white background and stripped blouse or whatever that was, then the Devil photoshoot which they obviously had more shots not just one, but they only used one picture...and then the ones with the crown in her backyard....like seriously, all of those photsoots were FAR better than the crappy booklet they gave us... and i don't even want to talk about the cover art again....
SO....i hope this time they will put some work on it. Thinking the theme, more than just one photoshoot... and IDK, good quality pictures would be a good starting point (call me crazy) 🤦♂️🤦♂️
oh..i almost forgot about the warrior photoshoot....that was competing for the worst photoshoot award right against the album cover art and lead single cover. She seriously needs to get a good retoucher this era 'cause HAW just wasn't it......
this guy that works with modsun seems OK, at least in terms of photoshop. I'm not the biggest fan of this type of photos where it's lit with onyl a big flash and makes everything look plain. BUT oh well....it's definitely better than what we got last era. I wouldn't mind him making the AL7 art style, but i do have to see the booklet for MGK's album to see a better and bigger picture of his work.

I love all of her album covers except AL5. Still furious she decided to go with that option. Yep, GL shoot was one of the best.

I don’t like AL5 cover at all too and to be honest I don’t like AL6 cover as well.. I never really understood the poetry behind seeing her naked and a guitar (I read the meaning but still find it meh) and also I find it too dark in color..it’s too dark imo so at this point I hope for some bright colour like TBDT for AL7 at least in the album cover

Look at the forums here, the color of Avril is way better than the real album cover. I don't like covers from 5 and 6. GL indeed the best as in cover and booklet and TBDT has very pretty photos in the booklet too!

I wonder if HAW was another AL5 situation where the cover art was chosen long before the track list was finalized. I think they could have chosen a better photo, maybe one of the ones where she is actually underwater or something. Her sitting on top of the water doesn’t really make any sense. And the charcoal color grading is.... bleh. I don’t know why they couldn’t have left it as full color, it probably would have looked better. Maybe the photo is so dark to represent the dark times she went through.

I don't like the HAW album cover art either. I agree, the colours are too dark, but personally, I don't mind them that much. What bothers me the most is Avril's expression and the whole imagery. Avril looks so uncomfortable, so tense. It's almost as though someone told her "we're taking the photo now, so stay in this uncomfortable position, but don't move, don't blink, don't breathe, just stay completely still!" And the imagery... In the beginning, I tried to explain it away as her being naked representing vulnerability, the guitar representing the music that saved her. But this kind of thing has simply been done so many times already. Also, why does it seem that being naked is the only way to show vulnerability? Now, don't get me wrong, I don't mind nudity, but in the case of this HAW cover, it just feels so forced and uninspired. Lastly, the photo seems strangely edited. Is Avril "floating" on the water? Or is the water simply very shallow? And what's up with the reflection?
