Now the next big question is: Is sirens the soundcheck song?

And the other question is: when are we going to found that out?
And another question is: will Sirens have any musical similarities to Prince's cover of 'Even Flow'?
or is just a Prince cover?

no
It would be pretty good if you're right. The soundcheck song sounds awesome, and Sirens has been described as the best track on the album. So we could potentially still be getting 2 top notch songs, amongst the rabble.

his artwork has me really excited. For how calculated this type of working is not one of the images is symmetrical. Doubled and reversed gives an illusion of motion or vibration
Image
Looks like a skull.
Image
some symmetry some not. Third eye


I layered some together to show some of the connections. This would be the illusion if the paper was transparent

Image
The figures end up holding the guns and utensils. Thirdeye/gunshot wound

Image
The guns and sat dishes start to make a 3d arrow.

Image
Lightning through the eyes, heart, and cross.



These may or may not be ANYTHING and order and the remaining images will change a lot but I really hope the packaging is as interesting as it can be.
There's the dog. You can't fake that stuff. Confess with your mouth.

Is this album secretly about dogs?

I vote that theJambi should be considered to do the artwork for album 11.

It's got to be something. I like the art on its own well enough but there has to be some form of layering. The repetition of forms throughout each image and the placement of such forms, the slight asymmetry only in certain sections , the images being released in pieces, and the silhouettes in the MYM video. It will be a huge missed opportunity if all these things were happenstance and mathematical accidents.
