This album artwork is a brilliant representation of the feel to this particular album by Jimmy Eat World. Black takes over the majority of the cover, already showing the songs are going to be dark. the simplistic capital titles stay insignificant so the viewer focuses of the photography. The choice of monochrome shows this isn't going to be a happy album. The young man to the right hand side of the out of order phone box hangs his head although he's depressed, sad or lonely. I think what he is trying to say is that he's finding it hard to reach out to people, he feels low but want to feel happier. This is shown by the use of lighting, as he stand in rays of light coming from the phone box which isn't working. The audience will know this rock artist had produced a pessimistic themed album that is one to listen to on a rainy day.
