Yeah...I was wondering who designed it as well.

I like that the eye is pink. It shows that J. Smith is kind of disturbed and probably doesn’t get much sleep. The design of the eye is really simple, but if you sit there and stare at it, it’s actually pretty expressive. Like Kayte said, a window to his soul. Hm...I probably would have liked the band to be on the cover more, but I'm starting to understand this more now and I dig it. :)

and it probably wouldnt have made sense to have a pic of the band when the album is J Smith...one individual person.

I like... a lot! I love the colours, the shape of the eye, it's fascinating and hipnotizing, it looks at me and I can't stop looking at it. Yeah, yeah, it's a bit strange and different not having them on the cover, but it is a good change it goes with the Fran's idea of contrasting the old stuff with all the new things they've got now, and in the end it's a nice artwork.

Well, it's the band's Ode TO that person...but yeah, I get what you're saying. It's really cool. I am super excited to see the "Something Anything" video now!!!

Said it before, say it again, I love it! Love the new font, love the artwork (both the album and single), love Something Anything. It's truly brilliant. Well done to Fran, Dougie, Neil and Andy and everyone involved. Great, great start to the 'new' Travis! :)

yes i guess it would make sense if they WERE there bc it is there Ode, but...ya, im done, lol.
Can't wait for the video either Nikki!

Think of how confusing this would be to non Travis fans who if the cover had them on it. "Which one is named Travis? Which one is J Smith? Who are the other 2? Im confused."
Poor poor non Travis fans in the world i have just created for them.

I can see that totally happen in Mexico xD. They would be like "I didn't know that Travis and J Smith had recorded a new album together, must be a nice duet" teehee xDD

Isn't 'J. Smith' just a metaphor for society since John Smith is the most popular name?

Or did we abandon that concept album idea?
