Love/Hate Relationship





I have a love/hate relationship with Trapped Under Ice and their cover art. I love TUI's music, but I really can't stand most of their cover art. To me, their 2007 demo pictured above is just atrocious. Why do they have their shirts off? When I first seen it I really thought it must be a joke or something, but then I opened it and said "Oh fuck....... Pitbulls......" and I just knew they were dead fucking serious. It's silly, but I'm over it. I love these recordings. Now on the other hand...




This is, in my opinion, TUI's best lay out on any of their releases (excluding test pressings). I really love this lay out, maybe its because I'm a sucker for Spoiler art? I love how that smoke or whatever is coming out of the eyes and mouth, the city scape that has a mouth under it, the red eye in the bottom corner, the knife, trashcan, random detective with the gun... it's just all together awesome. Plus a great color scheme. Please TUI just have Spoiler do your next release, I am really sick of all the emo artsy covers lately.
