Sounds like it's going to be great.

i for one am relieved that Radial highway didnt make the cut, obviously ive not heard the finished version, but i had imagined that it would 'jar' when listened in relation to the other numbers. on Ki ive always struggled with 'train fire' except of course for that wonderful coda. And i wondered if 'radial highway' would have the same effect.

I was thinking this. Although for me it's more "Quiet Riot" that jars the quiet listen on Ki. I usually listen to my own custom playlist for Ki more than I do the full album, which consists solely of the quieter tracks and starts with "Coast" because I can't listen to "A Monday" ... unless it's a monday . The other tracks are great in their own way too but I think I prefer the quieter ones and other tracks like the "Ki" title track for example is just too epic for a normal listen.

Non-sense! Anyone that doesn't deem all of your releases a worthy purchase is clearly not worthy of life.

Amen.

But.. Papyrus.

Yeah, Papyrus font is so over-used, it comes off as a bit cheesy. I think those are beautiful images, but just a tad too over-dramatic, IMO. I think in this case, simpler would be better.

Interesting as fan art, it has that going for it.

I think it is great artwork, but the way that Dev has described Ghost and his feelings about it, I think it is just a bit much. Kind of reminds me of some of the stuff Hugh Symes does.

Everytime I see Papyrus, I think of browncoats and Nathan Fillion.

I like it though. It has that New-Age/earthly feel that Dev is gunning for.

It does...but still...papyrus
There are a billion and one fonts out there and there's no real reason why you can't design your own typography if you needed to. It would come off a bit unprofessional to use something we've seen before and have become accustomed to in a way.

Besides the font though, I love those covers. I prefer the one on the right, the left one has a bit too much negative space for me..plus the asymmetrical shadows are a nice touch. A lot of the proposed art for Ghost kinda seems very stock photo-ish and generic, but this one really gives off a nice vibe.

Wow that´s very very cool... well done I like the one in the right better

From the music I have heard and from what Dev has said, Ghost will have a more floaty, airy, spacey, folksy feel. I think an image more natural and less processed would suit the cover better.

I think those two designs we are discussing would be awesome album covers, but they just don't seem right here. They would make a great Rush album cover. Maybe even work for the Dark Ghost EP.

Just my opinion, of course. I sure as hell am not Devin. Those may be just what Devin wants, for all I know. lol

This, but with witty cruelty, because I'm too lazy to think for myself.

And don't forget epic on a huge scale.

Very good work, but not sure I would chose it as is exactly. Forgetting the font, if the right one had a VAST backdrop scene (like my avatar for example), simple and huge simaltaneously sounds good. I think it would suit the ghost sound better. Stones... on the top of mount everest

The Sunset Diaries? The Sun Also Sets? Dr Devin and Mr Townsend?
