But the worst, IMHO, is the font. Not that it's ugly, but it's about as clichéd as it gets (as it was on The Ragpicker's Dream). Why use a fake typewriter font? We know for a fact that Mark is NOT writing his songs on a typewriter, but on a MacBook.
This is actually the same font as Privateering cover.
Not a bad cover, but everybody, including my 13 old son, can make such a cover in less than one hour.
Just search for "road" in google image and you have hundreds of DTRW-like covers ...
Sorry to be nitpicking, but no, it isn't the Privateering font. Much closer to The Ragpicker's Dream. It has these little "typewriter" deficiencies – things that would happen if you hit a letter harder or softer on a typewriter - but of course it's not really done with a typewriter, it's a digital fake. IF they were going for a retro feel, they could at least have used a real typewriter. That, however, might not have been a very good idea, either, because the music of the album won't be retro, as far as we can tell by now.
The whole cover is pretty well executed;, but the ideas for the picture and font look like something a non-designer would come up with, someone who's not visually creative. Which probably was the case.
