== Overview == |
|||
=== Music style === |
|||
Compared to the band's earlier albums, the style of ''Toys Up'' is unexpected. Not following the feeling and [[pop rock]] sound of their debut ''[[Cheap As Art]]'', ''Toys Up'' introduces another side of the band. More solid, determined and conclusively whole, darker and more rough around the edges, this [[visceral]] new attitude has infiltrated the seemingly bright songs of the album and has inevitably embraced the deep, intensely clouded lyrics, a change that is obviously portrayed through the songs in ''Toys Up''. |
|||
=== Album artwork === |
|||
The original album collage was done by Emanuale Balzani, who said that he took the inspiration from the paper collages that [[Henri Matisse]] made when he was infected by [[cancer]] in the period before his death. It is in essence an ode to the great painter for his work. |
