Amphetamine Ballads the album

Amphetamine Ballads the album

“I genuinely don’t know where the music comes from, How I play music - live or in the studio - it is what it is and I struggle to know where it comes from. There's been a lot of things written about the band, people say we're angry and things like that - but to me it's just us. There's a hell of a lot of joy in the music.” DaleBarclay 

Amphetamine Ballads is the soundtrack to the dark corners of nightclubs and those dimly lit alleyways off the main drag. The smell of smoke and liquor pervades everything. Recorded at night time at The Green Door Studio in Glasgow, this is a subterranean record – an album that can show you round the parts of a city that come alive after dark.

This the album cover for the Amazing Snakeheads début album Amphetamine Ballads. 

Personally I find this album cover quite plain and boring, although I can not deny the fact it is straight to the point and clear what it is and whose album it is.

The band name album title and song titles are clearly stated in a black box so you can clearly see which album it is and whose album it is and what it entails.

There isnt much to discuss about this cover as it is rather plain and straight to the point, the snake skin background has clearly been chosen as the bands name is the amazing snakeheads. There isnt even a border on the whole image. All in all the cover is plain and simple yet effective.

Above is the bonus 7" inch Deluxe Vinyl version of the album. I love this edition of the album as I think you get alot more for your money and it is more pleasing to the eye.
