The Script 'Science and Faith'

The beige background creates an archaic feel which could symbolize the album is about subjects that everyone can relate to, such as love. This neutral colour also helps the cover image to stand out and become the focus of the listeners attention, this emphasizes the importance and significance of the grasped hands. The cover image could have been used as a symbol to represent the close bond between 'science and faith'. The grasped hands could also connote violence, as this is the usual position of arm wrestling, this could represent a disagreement or two ideas colliding towards each other (these colliding ideas could be 'science and faith'). This image is also a representation of the scripts inspirational and motivational lyrics about holding on through hard times and heart break.
The albums theme is based around the current economic and social climate that surrounds them, this could suggest that the cover image is about making peace or pacts in order to benefit and cooperate with other countries.
The album title portrays quite a controversial image as science is about facts, and faith is about self belief. This could highlight the idea that their lyrics could be contradictory but also full of wisdom and heart. The album title 'science and faith' shows the primacy of love in the universal equation. This suggests how love cannot be broken down into a science, it is an ineffable emotion and unlike anything else in this world it cannot be made into an equation.
Their album title and cover is very simplistic, “We're dealing with complex emotions in the simplest of ways, that's what we battle with in these songs.” This suggests that the Script wanted their cover to reflect their songs, lyrics and overall image but to also have an irrevocable impact on their listeners.
