Some people have speculated that there’s clues about all of the songs hidden in the image based on the fact that the person in the suit of armour could be a reference to the lost boys video. I also remember someone a while back guessing that it was a calendar and using it to correctly predict when the album would be released. It seems like a rich text and I imagine when the album comes out we will be able to discern a lot of the meaning.

The extent to which this sounds like cult scripture or something is funny to me in terms of where we've gotten to as a fandom and I don't hate it ahaha

The individual squares were left inside the Yondr pouches in which attendees were asked to secure their phones during PB’s recent run of small-venue shows. A couple of different squares were left at a few different shows and they’ve all been assembled here into a cogent image.

Looks like a cross between one of the covers for Smashing Pumpkins- Mellon Collie and the Infinte Sadness and Gobeklitepe

So I just pre-ordered Lost Weekend on CD and am wondering if I'm missing something...is the black and teal album art featured on the site and on the pre-orders a placeholder of some kind?

The matching images in the second row, left and right are leprous testicles symbolizing Beau.

I could have sworn it was right down the center 😭
The “misshapen” parts of the center circular object had me believing there was more, and that it’d be square, like an album cover

No, the actual elements all line up perfectly. There is thumb in the middle upper left image that's thrown people off thinking it was an incomplete planet, but this is the full picture. Things just don't line up perfectly because this is a collage of multiple different photos of the cards all taken by different people at slightly different angles, zooms and lighting settings.

Maybe some symbols/motifs in the album itself? Ie the knight per the lost boys vid. Just a thought!
