This digipack is more advanced than most, containing a number of books and sections. The logo (and digipack cover art) can also be found on lots of merchandise that came out prior to the release of the album which makes it easily recognisable as muse's album. The cover is more art than advertisement as it does not contain any reference to the band or album apart from the names in the corners of the cover. despite this, the album cover is now well known and easily identifiable so the marketing of the logo must have worked. The bright colours of the album on a white background make it stand out and very attractive, The resistance is one of my favourite album covers and i like the simple yet attractive design.
The shadows and silhouettes relate to the title of the album "monster", in films and on tv we often see shadows of monsters instead of clear views of them. it also makes the album cover make more sence, it is normal to have the band on the cover but it would not fit with the title if they were sat nicely in normal light.
The band have lost a few members since their last album so it is also understandable that the members are on the cover of this album, showing that there are now only 3 of them.
