This is the album advert for The Maccabees Wall Of Arms. It uses the same artwork as what is on its album so that the album can be recognised in shops or in magazines. There is no reviews or comments made by Music Critics to give ratings or information on the album. There is however a larger space at the bottom of the image which is taken up by smudges and paint dripping coming from the members of the bands.

The band members are dressed in bright and vibrant colours which gives a up-tempo approach to the theme there are presenting, they are also quite status like, like mannequins shop windows advertising new merchandise that has just arrived in stores.

This space could have been used to provide extra information on the bands forthcoming album or positive reviews which could have been used to market, advertise and entice audiences. This is a good example of an album advert that lacks information and bad marketing and advertising strategies to pull in potential cliental, the advert only shows the name of the band and the album title, and that it out now.

The image is eye-catching and shows that the band has develop a unique and individuality crafted, which goes with the albums marketing strategies. One most eye-catching element of the advert is the that text is ‘acclaimed’ twice on the advert, each time in different colours in order to make it stand out and grab the attention of the audience.
