ST’s font and colour look carefully chosen.
The font is called Knockout and if from Hoefler & Co., a very renowned and respected typeface foundry, and the price of it starts at $169.00 at the lowest (it could go up to over $1000.00 if licensed for 3 computers). It is not some dafont looking free typeface.
The colour is pink, but it’s not quite standard pink, there is a dustiness to it, and almost a touch of purple giving it an almost lavender feeling. It’s by no means a standard swatch pink that takes no consideration.
Perhaps you don’t do this for a living, and perhaps you’ve never seen the full Vinyl design for ST where the simplicity and beauty of the design really comes through, but regardless, it’s okay to dislike it, its not going to be to everyone’s tastes, but it’s by no means a tragic cover to be listed in a grouping of poor album covers. You can quote this all you want but it won't change the above facts.
Glory isn’t terrible, but its not good at all.
