The Smiths- Meat Is Murder Textual Analysis.


I like this album cover, I think it would be nice to use ideas from it for our digipack, I admire the way the bands name is written down the side. I appreciate the album cover image, with the soldier which has a grey scale effect is also good as it gives a vintage feel. On the soldiers helmet it states meat is murder, which is the name of the album, believe it is hinting a message of anti war, as meat maybe a metaphor for people which could mean the band believe that War is murder, which I believe the band are sending a message of.

I have also noticed the cover does not have an image of the band, this could be due to their large popularity also they might not like being featured on the front cover. The image is simple and effective the main focus is on the image of the soldier. We have an idea for our front cover, which has been influenced from this. We are not putting our band on the front cover, instead we are using an image previously taken by a member of our group. I believe the image we have chosen will intrigue the audience and keep them guessing.
