album 55

Whit's wiping down the counter, Connie's mopping the floor, and the kids are sipping on their milkshakes. If you want to talk about Adventures in Odyssey the radio drama, this is the spot to do just that!

hmmm it seems that Cbriggs45 was last logged in 1 minute after they posted that message, I suspect that they came back in time was working on leaving us a message but before they could finish telling us all about 55 the time machine started to malfunction and they only had seconds to get in and get back to their real time before the machine destroyed itself. This explains the unclear message and their disappearance.

as A side note the merging of two posts by the same person right after one another is nice, but I think there should be some sort of time limit on it, I'm getting the feeling no one is reading this

I just saw the cover art on the offical website. I was very disappointed. It looked much too fake.

Oooh, I'm not solving the puzzle because I have it xD

But yeah, is that for real? Will we really have an episode with that?

I don't know. I think it would be an interesting one. The moral could be all about pool safety.

I think an episode setting in a pool is a different idea. It wouldn't even have to be the whole episode, it could be a single scene. I could see it working.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!

That picture must never be posted on this forum. I cannot believe they're promoting images of shirtless guys.

I'm sorry, but this statement made me laugh. The picture just doesn't look right, I mean, they look too dry and ot just doesn't look right.

For some reason, I thought that Whit was still in his brown sweater vest he's been wearing as of late, then realized you can't see it, but you can sense he's wearing it in the pool!

I think it looks weird. I was expecting something with Jason or Sgt. York, Not a pool party. I was really disappointed.

Can we have an alternate album with an alternate cover? Please! :D

Yeah, I was rather disappointed. With all the hype about this album, with the historical eps and the action with Jason, and a great title, I was expected, I don't know, a cover with more excitement?

I'll do my best when I find the time ;) I have a pretty good idea of what it would look like so far, but what my head thinks will look nothing like the final product ;)

Yay, Graces!

This cover, frankly, was just. . .blech. I saw it before it was released and I didn't even know that it was the cover. . .I mean, seriously?

Am I the only one who realized that they're all in "the deep end" of the pool? I doubt it has anything to do with a scene/episode about a pool party; it's probably metaphorical. But still, they could have done waaay better.

I just went and looked at the art, It's lame. They could do so much better than that.

Yeah, I noticed. I knew that's what the pictures about, I just think that the title could be for a much cooler picture.

The art quality has gone down significantly over the past years. I'm not really fond of the caricature-esque drawings. I mean, look at the old "Darkness Before Dawn" cover.
Image
Now look at the new one.
Image
Now back at the old one. Now back at the new one. (jk) But in all seriousness, the old one just has something about it that the new one doesn't. Maybe it's the mysteriousness of Blaggard's cape flowing in the old one. Or maybe it's his cool cane in the old one vs. his royal scepter in the new one. It could also be Blaggard's greying hair in the old one vs. the skunk-like on in the new one. And yet, maybe it's how he doesn't have a pouty lip in the old one. All silliness aside, I really think the old one has something special about it. I also love it how they try to keep Blaggard's face from being seen in the first one. I think it adds to the mysteriousness of the saga.

I actually really like the artwork for album 55. IF you look at it closely you can even see water droplets on Whit's face. The water sparkles like real water does in the sunlight. And did you guys notice the tulips on either side. If you look at it closeup in high res - the detail is incredible! A LOT of work went into this picture and if you take a few minutes, you can really see that. Even the kid doing a cannonball into the pool looks very much like the kid who plays Matthew Parker. In fact, if you look closely, you can see hints of all the actors in their character's faces. I honestly thing this is one of the best covers yet. It may not fit the album perfectly (that is yet to be determined) but the amount of detail went into this, and just how much this pops is incredible! This pictures stands out, it is bright and cheery and exciting and full of excellent details.

Quit complaining ;)

Also, they are fully clothed from what I can see. Anybody else laugh at Wooton's nose guard and floaties?

Whit's End is a Victorian manor!!! *Dies of shock.* I always imagined it more castle like. How did I not realise this earlier?

I agree that it does look like there was a lot of work put into the artwork, but I think I'm a bigger fan of some of the more simple art work. I think it may just be the style because I liked the artwork before 51 a lot more than the stuff after 50. I feel like the new art work is slightly trendy and sort of annoying, but that is just me and it is okay to disagree with me. Maybe it's the head proportions? :-k
