The artwork for Eez-eh is kinda weird to understand. But if you look at it from different angles, the words still look very clear I know but if you look back at the singles off West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum, you always want to spend some time to look at the covers and artworks cos they're beautiful.

There is an interview with Aitor in NME - page 1 and page 2 which is so pretetious and irritating. Does anybody like him? I don't like his 'Serge this' and 'Serge that' attitude, I find him a bit dismissive about the rest of the band. I think he's said it again somewhere else too that he's got 'particularly a lot' with Serge because of their 'Latin backgrounds'. Really? Because Serge's grandad is Italian and you're Argentinian it means you're so similar? I don't like his clothes, I don't think his covers are particularly amazing. They might be clever but they're nowhere near the Empire or West Ryder covers. The only thing he did I really liked was the SBS vid, but there was no need for him to stay for this album. I want WIZ back. I'm turning into one of those 'bring back Karloff' people. Thank you. I couldn't figure out what it was that bothered me about him, but you've hit the nail on the head for me. I really hope he realises that he's working with a BAND, and also that he needs them more than they need him, not the other way around. At the end of the day, if the band are happy with him them I am too, I actually love all the 48:13 artwork. But ugh, in the latest Test Transmission vid (which he directed) he keeps pausing Tom while Serge speaks! WTF! Let him be! He needs to appreciate and recognise the energy Tom brings to the band. Sorry, had to get this off my chest!

But if you look at it from different angles, the words still look very clear I'm hoping that when the vinyl comes out, it's a 3-D cover that justifies the hideous artwork. What baffles me most about Aitor's work, is that he gets paid for using MS paint... I'd do what he does for a fiver and a gig ticket!

He's their support team, he should be in the background and not going on that he came up with this and that all the time. I know what you mean about the new vid, I found the split screen irritating too, how can you even separate Tom and Serge when Tom is reaching out to put his arm around Serge.

Yes exactly! It's not just Tom's energy he needs to appreciate, it's the energy and (for want of a better word) magic BETWEEN them! If he "gets" them as much as he claims to he should recognise that.

Sorry, had to get this off my chest! To be fair, Serge is also paused for a bit, it's probably supposed to be some kind of fancy effect. But it's pretty pointless, just like the split screens. Him getting a special mention for "directing" that video suddenly made me think of all the little West Ryder behind the scenes videos, did they ever have any grand announcements "directed by Wiz" or "directed by Charlie Lightening"? I can't remember anything like that. They're just sitting on chairs, what is there to direct?

It's kinda supposed to add dimensions to the video. We get to see Serge talking as well as getting peaks on their work. TBH, direction is harder than sitting on chairs. That's the reason he is there and we're not. I hope you people understand.

I understand, and I've been thinking about this, I feel bad complaining, I love these Test Transmission vids, and I'm so excited for the album! I just don't like seeing band members being undervalued, I hope you understand that

It's still a split screen when they're next to each other, although they are sitting right next to each other. I didn't mean the bits where they show them in the studio next to their faces, that makes sense in a visual way, but they're literally, physically touching each other and they are on split screens and it ends up looking like Tom has a weird stumpy arm. I guess it's art or something.

Notice how Serge freezes while Tom talks. It almost makes you look like he's gonna move.

Nah, sorry, I don't like seeing either of them being freezed, just let them be! I love seeing clips of them in the studio though, I guess we all can agree on that!

I have a really bad feeling that it's all the same velociraptor visuals only in pink Does that really surprise anyone? Aitor seems to get paid for using MS Paint, he'll easily get away with recycled visuals.

That you hate the admins of this forum so much that you were demanding a death penalty on twitter the other day for 'fascist, Hitler-esque cunts' who dared to say that people were chatting during the playback, yet you're still posting here and talking to us.

Cool man. Nice to know you look at my Twitter. Seems like you check it and memorise it more than I do, as I didn't even remember posting that until now... The "fascist Hitler-esque cunts" bit probably wasn't aimed at you though, it was probably to do with people at my work because that's what some of them are... But if the shoe fits, please feel free to wear it. I don't have a problem with that. Always good to chat to a fan
