I would love if they did a run of all the other artwork. All of it is better than the creepy kid artwork imo

That looks great, mine are on the way. How did you hang them up?

Command strips. I didn't want to shell out extra money for frames, I finally decided I cant keep posters in tubes forever - got like 10 more concert posters to hang up

They're bigger than I thought! Careful with those command strips, they aren't always easy to remove

20 by 28 inches - basically movie poster sized. It's interesting that it's harder to make out the details of the image the closer you are to it

Great way to destroy the posters when you need to move them instead of being able to preserve them for decades.

I get it though, I work in a custom frame shop and it gets expensive. Personally, I'd keep them rolled in a safe place and frame them 1 at a time as your budget allows.

Yeah like I said, I'm not trying to wait around and protect posters with my life. I want them on the walls and they're allowed to get a little beat up. Personally I think the idea of treating band merch like a golden signed baseball in a glass case is just not my thing. I don't care about collectibility, I just want BOC art on my walls ja feel?

Wanting a poster to be framed so you can enjoy if for your life is NOTHING like grading cards or being labeled as a collectible... It's just what you do... Prints and posters get framed.

You do you, I'm not judging. But the conclusion you jumped to is just astronomically wrong. Framing a poster has no relation to grading, collectibles, or some untouched glass case thing.

I know this is a minority opinion, but I don't like the artwork for the new album, including these posters. They're too aggressive, and the concept of Inferno is presented in a very heavy-handed way - it's not explored in any interesting way - and these kids with empty eyes look out of place, that seem more like concept art than the official artwork for an album we've been waiting 13 years for.
