Random thought: Some bands create far better graphic design/style/photos than they do music. And vice versa, other bands make superb sounds, but have such terrible overall aesthetic. Is it rhetorical to ask which is worse?

is it too much to ask that the two types find each other and help a buddy out? I’ll tune your guitar if you uninstall COmic Sans from my comp
antibromide answered:
It’s worse to have bad aesthetic - people will judge that first and not give the music a fair chance.
smarterthanyouraverageblair answered:
No, sir. In your definitions, they seem different. Plus, you have to account for poor management vs. artist aesthetic.
o-song answered:
Bands mostly don’t create artwork. Bad artwork usually means they don’t know graphic designers, and don’t have the money to hire one.

i’ve always wanted to be in a band for the aesthetic side

This is the same to me as saying is a person’s personality or looks better. Of course personality is more important, but looks sure do help.

sound > look

It’s all about the product. As a consumer I value the music more. A label may not care what’s being sold so long as it’s selling.
saladfork answered:
I don’t care what the album cover looks like if they have a good sound. ‘dont judge a book by its cover’

Some bands create terrible graphic design/style etc. AND make play terrible music at the same time.

Pre-internet, sounding great and not having a great image was a major issue, but now, I think that it’s reversed…
