Artwork
The same day the band released the date the album would be out, they released the album artwork, it is currently unknown who did the artwork.
In the past the band have expressed that the number 152 always appears on the covers of their albums. On the "Tell All Your Friends" artwork it is simple written in the corner next to the albums title. The next album, "Where You Want To Be" the number is on the sign next to the naked baby, saying "next exit 152 miles. On the Louder Now artwork, the numbers hidden in the price on the theaters sign, "$1.52", and on the "New Again" artwork, it has been hidden to a further extent. The fluffy dice hanging from the rear view mirror has three dice on it, each one showing the numbers 1, 5 and 2 in said order.
