Dig Out Your Soul Album Cover Analysis

Dig Out Your Soul is the final Oasis Album. The sound of the band has changed dramatically for this album. The front cover is very bizarre, featuring complexions of bright orange which is very effective in attracting the attention of the audience. There is a lot going on in the album cover. The two cradling hands connote care and delicacy which contrasts the volcanic explosions it holds. This contrast promotes the madness and exteriority the music of this album obtains, which is a really big change in Oasis's sound. The lyrics "come in come out" is a repeated lyric featured in the first single released for the album "Shock Of The Lighting", implying the strength of meaning portrayed through the song. The tsunami behind reinforces chaos and exteriority as the randomly placed items such as an upside down butterfly.  The back cover features a very bizarre hand painted font for the track list. This gives a very naturalistic feel to the track names reinforcing originality and gives a loose as well as a sparse feel. One thing to take into consideration is that no synergy is created as the oasis logo is not featured anywhere on the album, the first time in Oasis' history that they have released an album without their logo on it.
