Artwork The artwork was created by James R. Eads. Speaking about creating the artwork, Eads stated, "He gave me a lot of freedom which is always a great thing to have because I think sometimes too much direction can weigh me down. He appreciated my style and trusted that I would create something that would fit the mood correctly." Critical reception
