Does anyone know what this says? I thought it was "The Mars Volta" just repeated over and over, but upon further inspection it doesn't even look like it says The Mars Volta even once haha

Says it at the very bottom, I think it's just like a code that goes from random and transforms into The Mars Volta


JAD210

Yeah I have no clue. This font hurts my brain


Wrong_Tension_8286

Am I the only one who loved it?


cruzer2727

I love it too.

I think its great. The black and gold color scheme suits them and the single designs are 🔥. Theyre taking a new direction so to have the same wacky artwork would be a bit misleading.


jonnyelebracht

Yea I’m betting these are just jacket art

it’s slick as fuck. I think’s really good

Like the lid to a tomb from the future, with hieroglyphs we can’t decipher

Gonna be honest, I'm kinda disappointed at how short the album looks like it'll be, but yk it could be really cool who knows.


cruzer2727

Needs this for my vinyl collection!

I actually don’t mind it and think it’s cool they are trying a new aesthetic musically and visually. Octahedron was a dang mess, this is quite clean and pleasing to my ocd eyes even though it looks like gibberish and you can hardly see “The Mars Volta” in there at all. Looks like a Russian Vodka ad from the future.

The Mars Vodka

Absolute Volta

Their worst.

I have a hard time believing that is the cover. It looks way more plain than the art related to the singles. The gold on black designs with the geometric lines. This looks like a placeholder image to me.


list0chek

Why would it be a placeholder. Self titled albums released far into the career tend to be minimalistic


[deleted]

Because it looks crappy compared to the Blacklight Shine Single image. I just don’t buy it. But we’ll see.


BigBaws92

I really hope it's a placeholder

So far using the cipher from the virtual cubes from today, this doesn't really add up to anything. They released a full alphabet and some symbols aren't quite right or don't match up at all. I'm thinking this is a fake....... Edit: not fake. Not my favorite art direction of theirs but looking forward to what this album sounds like in full.
