Little late to the party, but... wow at Ghost 2's artwork. Completely the opposite of what I was expecting (probably because I wasn't sure what to expect, really) but the more I look at it, the more it just seems to... fit, strangely. I won't ask about the dream that inspired it, but I'm glad Dev had it so he could come up with such a cool idea for a cover, haha. And, the perfectionist in me is really happy to see a variation of Ghost's logo on it as well - makes it feel continuous with the first album, but like it's a different entity as well. It's got that 'dark-er' vibe to it as well, which goes great with the songs I've heard so far... Drench especially. Can't wait to see the rest of the layout, if you ever get a chance/are cleared to post it!
Bit bummed about the download only release, but hey - Dev, you've done a ridiculous amount for us lately, so it doesn't bother me. Maybe when you put it up, you could do an 'In Rainbows' type thing, and put it up for free, but allow people to donate whatever amount of money they want when they download it. You're not taking anyone's cash, or ripping anyone off... if people pay, it's their choice to support you. If not, they download it for free. I'd like that, anyways, because I'd like to give you at least something for it, and I'm sure many others would as well (NOT volunteering other people's money!)... but whatever works. Just glad to see it'll actually be released!
