You know how it goes, you write/record and album, pick a cool cover image and fling it out to the masses, right? Well for Cymbals Eat Guitars’ latest album Lenses Alien, there was another step—reworking their cover art. Says the band via press release,  “Our original cover art for Lenses Alien was a collage that we did as an homage to an artist we admire. When we learned that this artist was not happy with how it turned out, we decided to change the design out of respect for their feelings. Plus, it wouldn’t be a Cymbals Eat Guitars album without a puzzling album-art change.”
