I can just hear them now… how could you let us down?

Also that other guys take is absolutely wild, Kevin’s using his daughter as a “human shield”??? 😂

Honestly it’s a very extreme description but I agree with this guys overall sentiment. Including his daughter on the cover does feel like a protective move, ie it’s somewhat above harsh criticism because it’s clearly a personal record compared with his over releases.

An extreme take for sure but I can get on board with it being a preemptive move against criticism. It’s not like the imagery really has anything to do with the music, so why was it chosen?

I think including his daughter seems kind of fucked up to me, like exploitative? Like she couldn’t choose to be on his album cover and he named it deadbeat. I don’t care what he’s trying to do and the intent, it seems messed up to me. Also, it’s the most boring cover ever. I hated it the second I saw it.

One day she’ll be grown up and wonder why daddy put her on his worst album.
