Influences we looked at- Fall Out Boy


Fall Out Boy created this album based on a collection of songs most liked and most bought by their fans. The cover is quite Gothic as it is a dark coloured cover and suggests death by the two skeletons in the center. I thought the way they contrasted the Gothic with the ordinary was good as it felt misleading. The ordinariness of the guitar and shoes and other everyday objects suggested that they belong to the skeletons in the center. There is also a sort of romantic image in this album as the two skeletons in the center are laying together facing each other. This seemed fitting with the idea of our song where the girl doesn't have the man she wants whereas on this cover even in death they are together in an embrace.
