Rascal Flatts - Unstoppable Analysis



This Rascal Flatts Album Unstoppable released in 2009. Rascal Flatts are an American Country pop rock, the intial look of the album cover shows the 3 band members sat in room that appears to look like the inside of a mannor or old building from the 18th century,  and the back ground shows picture/painitng frames with no images giving a very ambiguous/mysterious impression. The band members are dressed in smart yet casual clothes, a convention within country or folk music (Waistcoats, Ties and shirts with Denim jeans). There appears to be blurred outlines around the band members and where they are sat, this could be a reference to the time period represented on the album cover and the distortion of time combining the modern day fashion with a period setting. Then the font, it like the rest of the album cover looks to fit in with the period setting intertextualy referencing letters or lettering found at the time. The overall mood of the cover is shown to be quite a mysterious feel that you could interpretate in many ways based on the person's perception. It does however reflect the music to be quite calming and because of the period setting shown it may also be similar or reminscent.
