The document analyzes the album artwork for Biffy Clyro's fifth studio album "Only Revolutions". The front cover depicts a man and woman facing each other in a field with different colored flags tied around their mouths and hands. The flags represent the two sexes and symbolize revolution. The artist also created the cover for Pink Floyd's "High Hopes", which influenced Biffy Clyro's cover. The choice of songs fits the theme of revolution and war conveyed by the artwork. The inside fold displays the individual flags and repeats the cover image. The back lists the track titles and shows part of the field from the front cover.

1. Only Revolutions Digipak Analysis
Only Revolutions is the fifth studio album by
the Scottish rock band ‘Biffy Clyro’. The
album artwork shows a man and a woman
facing each other In the middle of a field, both
have a different colour flag. At first glance it
looks like they are holding the flags but after
a good look we see that these big sheets are
actually tied around their mouths and it also
looks like their hands are tied behind their
backs.
The two colours represent the different sexes and the
revolution is symbolised by these two people. The artist
who made this cover was also the creator of Pink Floyd’s
album artwork for the album ‘High Hopes’, by looking at this
artwork we can see that the use of a big flag is in play as
well as this album. Which is where Biffy Clyro probably got
their inspiration.
I think that the choice of songs for this album is clever as they fit with the cover.
For example the first song is ‘The Captain’ which starts with the sound of
footsteps. This concept has connotations of war, as do other songs such as ‘Born
on a Horse ‘ and ‘Booooom, Blast & Ruin’.
As you can see from the photo above, the inside cover includes pictures of the
different colour flags on each side of the fold out. This again reinforces the
revolution of the two sexes. Then there is also a repeat of the front cover image
inside.

2. The back of the CD as we can see above, includes all of the track numbers and
their names, so that the listener can look at the back of the album if they want to
listen to a certain track. The back also includes part of the field where the front
artwork has been taken.
