Not gonna lie it kind of looks like a mixtape. A far cry from the detailed cover art of good kid and TPAB.
Have you noticed Kendrick has a thing with punctuation? Every album title has been stylized in a very specific and strange way except for TPAB.
It's not "Good Kid, Mad City" or even "Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City" ... it's good kid, m.A.A.d city ... this leaves several questions, but the one that really gets to me is, why is there no period after the "d" in m.A.A.d?
It's not "Section 80" ... it's Section.80
It's not "Untitled, Unmastered" ... it's untitled unmastered.
It's not "Damn" ... it's DAMN.
That kind of stuff makes me think the font and typeface were chosen deliberately, and for a reason.

Yeah, I always liked the punctuation on his album titles. Not sure why but they just fit the whole aesthetic.
Guess "DAMN." will make more sense soon. Kendrick's expression does make it seem like he just realized that he missed his opportunity of ending up in Heaven.
