this album has a sense of different type of emotions such as happyness by the bright colours and people having fun and smiling and also a sense of confusion and also looks like a classic painting adding to its uniqueness and it comes from the picture Netherlandish Proverbs and is interesting because of the music will probebly involve proverbs itself (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlandish_Proverbs)

absurdity, wickedness and foolishness of mankind, and this painting is no exception from the artists

It's lyrically fairly meaningless. As an introduction to the record

The music video is called White Winter Hymnal, which is also the 2nd song on the album. The style of the video is very similar to the album artwork,it looks like it set in medevil uerope because of the style painting they use for the album cover so this would suggest country style music

this agian suits the album bcause they also look like it is set in the medevil uerope and also to note the wizard also to suggest superstition that is prominent in that era and that they all have beards
