Reminds me of the days of the past when you weren't working 26 hours a day and had downtime to kick it with us.
Things Fall Apart first stood out to me because of the iconic cover art, the photos and also the faux jazz type layout.
The previous album covers were more in line with straightahead hip-hop albums whereas TFA, and the following records, have a more visceral, emotive impact. Something like a magazine cover to The Atlantic or Time Magazine.
The choice to have more artistically sophisticated album art was obviously intentional, but was the drive simply to communicate that your albums are Art and so ought to use any and all opportunities to reflect the themes of the music? If the reason was something else, please feel free to touch on that if you find time.
