Ancillary Text Research And Analysis - Album Cover (2)



Another classic album cover is that of 'Fat of the land' by the Prodigy.
The photograph is a comical one, showing a crab almost 'raving' as a follower of this genre of music may do stereotypically.
Moreover the blurring used on the photograph may connote either the fast tempo of the tracks or the drug use associated with the artist and its genre.
In addition the photograph seems to be on a beach, in a warm destiniation - possibly Ibiza - a well known location for lvie performances in this genre of music.
Of course the bands name at the top of the cover is featured and their signature symbol to represent their band - a tarantula(which is also the name of one of their more famous songs) so this will encourage audience recognition. The album title then follows in smaller font underneath 'The fat of the land' generically.
