will never not make me insane how mania broke the mold for fob albums in so many ways but most prominently perhaps is how it broke the mold color wise, and the symbolism of that. it took the red/blue alternating color palette and combined it to make purple, it took everything fob was and in doing so went in a full different direction- something that was so clearly fob and so clearly new all at once, at least to those that were truly listening. and then, so much (for) stardust is just black and white. devoid of all true color- the light/dark dichotomy of the album is obvious from that alone. its take what every fob album did before color-wise but stripping it down- wholly new again, nowhere near the red/blue from before, but purely fob, not dressed up, its all out there in your face, black and white. the symbolism of colors here feels so so intentional and important and is forever so insanely clever of them

#and this doesnt even go into the actual red/blue color symbolism im just rambling here fjdndk #i think abt this all the time like color is everything when making. Anything. that people can look at #the album cover is the first thing you see it sets the mood for the whole entire album it is so so important and they KNOW THATTTT #like theyre telling u where theyre at before u even start the album. smfs is just Blatant and to me Free Because they didnt stick to any #resemblance of the red/blue. like mania was so important because its Both and smfs is so important bc its Neither do u get me. am i making #sense. makes me crazy nfkrnfkrm #txt
