Okay whether you have seen this album cover or not, or whether you are Tokio Hotel fan or not you will still have an opinion. Tokio Hotel is a band made up of four members Bill Kaulitz - Vocals, Bill Kaulitz - Lead Guitar, Georg Listing - Bass Guitar and Gustav Shafer - Drums. However the album cover for their latest album Humanoid only sports Bill, now not that this hasn't been done with other bands before because it has however usually it has a negative effect on the band in the long run.
I know that Bill is the front man and what have you but it still leaves the question why just him? The album cover itself though fits with the album and what Bill and Tom both explained to be the feel of it, it doesn't look very well made. The color scheme is probably the best part of this cover because it goes with the title Humanoid and the actual humanoid with Bill's face also fits in well even if it looks like it has been photo shopped for less than five minutes and it looks really cheap. I do believe that their choice to just have the lead singer on the cover will cause problems in the future because he already gets most of the limelight as it is.
It is my personal opinion that this is the worst album cover they have done the scream album which wasn't great is still better than this and in my opinion if I didn't know who they were and saw this album in the shop it would not draw me in to look at it never mind actually buy it. I think the boys have chosen very badly on this album and thankfully people don't just buy albums for their art work but the actual music.
