CD Cover Analysis 2: Muse - Absolution


This album cover shows a man looking up to the sky. It appears he is looking at floating people in the sky but we cannot be sure as we can only see the shadows of these floating people which creates an element of mystry. This may make people want to buy the album because they might find out what is floating in the sky. The man is holding something in his hand but we cannot make out what it is. I think that it may be a camera and this man has been taking picure of this bizzare scene. The bands name is in the top left corner and its in the same writing the band allway have their name in which has created a band logo. This very good for making the band known because as soon as somebody sees that logo they know its from Muse and may want to buy it. This strange image relates to the music inside because Muse are well know for creating strange sounds and texture on their albums.

  1. Some good denotative analysis, but could be a bit more indepth. Connect the visual elements of the cover with the genre of music Muse play. Is there a connection do you think?

    Again check spelling and grammar before uploading.

  2. Just come across this and thought I'd point out that the thing he's holding is a gas mask (which you can tell from the shadow it casts).
    Ta!
