For all the art they put out it seems they have some of the worst taste in both album cover design and poster design. Their cover for Metal Gear Solid recently was horrendous.I actually really liked the cover art for the MGS album, the inside art not so much. I've been seeing a lot of hate on it though.

I really dislike the snakes around Snake's head, I'm not a fan of how Ortiz drew Snake (he looks mean and evil, especially the eyes). I don't mind the green and glitch effect as it's obviously a nod to the codec video but why did he put it on a white background? If you are doing the codec it should have been a black background as the bare minimum and been dressed up a little more to look like the codec screen. As it is, it's a weird glitched floating head with the most literal addition to the character head I've ever seen. That's just my take on it, I would have instantly bought it if it was a white cover with the red Metal Gear Solid logo on it.inksb wrote: ↑Mon Sep 09, 2019 11:47 pm Oof.

That being said, the movie actually isn't one of my favorite anyway, I like it a lot, but I don't LOVE it the way a lot of people do. (come at me). But I quite like the rejected Alex North score, and as already mentioned, both volumes of the original soundtrack are EASILY available in original pressings.

Just stupid.I was talking to @dollarhyde about this earlier, almost all of those can be bought from Japan for a few dollars each. You could buy a majority of them w/shipping and it would be less than one of the reissues. $60 is absurd.
