Album art: The Script's "Freedom Child" & "No Sound Without Silence"

The Script has been one of my favorite bands since elementary school.  What drew me in at first was their lyrics.  I sang my heart out to their songs because of how relatable they were.  But, as I learn more about them and heard more of their music, I fell in love with their artistic vision--both in the musical realm and the visual art realm.

Though all of The Script's album presents an artwork that captures the essence of the tracks and common themes in the album, "Freedom Child" and "No Sound Without Silence" stood out to me the most.  These two stood out to me not only because of the style of the art (as you can tell from my own artworks, I have a thing for dark backgrounds) but also because of the social commentary they seem to be making.

Whether it is the wings made out of neon lights or the digital lines that create the two faces, both cover arts capture the irony of the digital age--how a person can be surrounded by people and resources yet still feel alone, or how a person can seem to be close with someone online yet, in "real life", reality says otherwise.  As a young adult navigating the landscape of making human connections in the digital age, I resonated with these two album arts and what they represent, which, I guess, is also why I love these two album arts so much.

What are some album covers where the artists decided to put an artwork instead of photos of themselves?  Did they catch your eye?  Did they inspire you to think deeper about the songs and the album?
