The album cover shows a man sitting with his head in his hands. He has a painted puzzle on his body with a missing piece, representing the recent passing of his mother, who had a close relationship with him. In the background are two people by a bright door, possibly representing the afterlife. While the genre is not entirely clear from the cover, the dark colors and deeper meaning suggest an indie rock album relating to the performer's personal problems and depression over his mother's death.

4. What Does the Cover Show?
 It shows a man sat on a stool with his head in his
hands.
 The man has a painted puzzle on him which could
have a deeper meaning and causes the audience to
think about the bigger picture.
 In the back ground there is two people next to a door
with a bright light coming through. This could also have
a deeper meaning

5.  On his body there is a black space which is where a
piece of the puzzle has fallen out.
 You can see this missing piece on the floor beside him.

6.  If you look into the background information about Biffy
Clyro you would know that a majority of his songs are
to do with his personal problems.
 You can also find out that he had a very close
relationship with his mother, who had recently passed
away.
 His mother could represent the missing puzzle piece on
his body

7.  This could explain the door with the bright light at the
back of the photo. It could represent the after life.

8. What Genre is it?
 You cannot clearly tell what genre this album is. The
album cover does not give a lot away.
 We have already found out that this has a darker
meaning than we first thought but it doesn’t give away
any sort of hints at what it could be.
 However I feel it is the artwork gives of the sense that it
is part of the indie rock genre.

9. The Colour Scheme
 The colours used in the cover are quite dark and
depressing, it gives off the sense that there is a deeper
meaning. Now we know that there is in fact a deeper
meaning.
 I think the colours also show that the main performer is
clearly upset and there is a sense of depression. There
is a lot of dark, black colours around the cover.
