This is the second Blackout album I have analysed and it is very different to the first album I looked at. This digipak has eight pains, which although is a lot they are not used like I have seen on other digipaks, the only thing included in the digipak is a CD.
Although this digipak has more colour on it the colour's are still made to look dark, the images on the front of the case almost look like a painting that continues onto each pain. The image is of a town, with a man on top of a hill with a beam of light shining on him and I believe this is meant to represent the title "The Best In Town". What is clever is that the light separates the writing. The track listing is on a separate pain, the image also continues onto that pain and acts almost like a story board. Although the visual is darker, I think it is like that so the writing is bolder and easier to read.
On the inside pains the bizarre visuals continue but don't seem to link with the album and the meaning. Unlike the previous digipak The Blackout did, there is no information inside the pack. On the pains of the case some of the lyrics from the songs on the album are written but that is the extent of the visuals and writting on the digipak.
The font used on the digipak suits the images, it has that strange, creepy effect that the whole design has. However it isn't very practical, I think the font used has to be bigger and fill the space.
