The typography of this album name is the same as the artists name, implying it is unlikely that a mainstream audience would recognise them from just a simple logo. This brands the demographic as alternative, which I can agree to. The font itself is reminiscent of that of a type writer, hinting at the simplistic style of the album. It is also in black, which both matches the colour scheme of the album cover and stands out. Of the three, I'd say this is my favourite.
This obviously more mainstream than the Nick Cave album. We have Eminem's logo placed conspicuously in the middle of the cover, in the same place as is Push The Sky Away, but this is a lot larger and easily recognisable. The album's name is in a smaller underneath it in the same font. It is also written in white, a bright colour which stands out.
This is the stranger of the three covers in my opinion - it just feels like the font is inappropriate for the style of the art on the album. The album cover's picture looks drawn, and the typography is obviously printed.
Noteworthy - font
