Album Cover - Fall Out Boy - From Under the Cork Tree

This album was released in May 2005 by 'Fall Out Boy', a four man band from Chicago, Illinois, which was their third album. Before they recorded this album, while touring, they crashed the bus they were travelling in, in the middle of winter. So the photo of a minivan half covered by snow relates back to this incident which shook up the band members and ad worried fans. I feel this made the cover quite popular because it related back to something important and meaningful for the band and fans, giving the album a homely feel. Moving onto the curtains and audience I think this is a reference to the record company 'Fuelled By Ramen' as at this particular time other that was their image, a dramatic theatre style which fellow friends and band 'Panic! At The Disco' were also playing around with.
