Digipak analysis
Digipak analysis: AC/DC Let there be Rock
The front cover is basic with a simple band shot of them playing with a clear bold title and band logo. It gets across who it is and what it is. Different in that most albums tend to have cover art instead of photography. The back has another photo along with the track list and copyright information in a simple font along the side. Again clear and to the point. The inside front cover has more photography instead of any album art carrying on the trend of simplicity and clarity. The inside back cover has close up photo of the guitarist playing again a simple piece. It shows who they are and what they do. The cd has the same print on it as the front cover.

A Tout Le Monde
Megadeth
Genre Characteristics: Standard thrash sound. Distorted guitars and fast pace. Megadeth change the formula with a slightly slower pace than say Metallica or Anthrax but has a more technical sound and longer solos. The lyrics are meaningful which isn't rare but this song is widely regarded simply for it's meaning. The fact that it sounds awesome is just a bonus.
What is the relationship between lyrics and visuals:
The name of the song is to my friends in French. It’s about leaving and the visuals have have a woman running and finding others in a post-apocalyptic world.
What is the relationship between music and visuals?
It’s performance based when there is a solo.
Are there close-ups of the artist and star image motifs?
Yes there is both close ups of both Dave Mustaine and Christina Scabbia who both perform vocals in this video. A star image is the screens in the background and the “emergency broadcast”.
Is there references to notion of looking?
A few verses have the musician looking towards the camera.
Are there intertextual references?
Not really.
Is it performance-based, narrative-based or concept-based? How much of each?
It’s a half and half performance and narrative based.
