Muse- Absolution cover
shadows off bodies, on the floor, repeated in a pattern. a man stood, casting his own shadow in a different direction, looking up
connoting being different, being free? not being a part of the 'pattern'
The title of the album helps to anchor the meaning of the album cover:
'Absolution is a traditional theological term for the forgiveness experienced in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. This concept is found in the Roman Catholic Church, as well as the Eastern Orthodox churches, the Anglican churches, and most Lutheran churches.' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolution)
The man may be asking for forgiveness, that is why he has his head tilted to the sky.
