(miss)understood cover

[hpg23]

I don´t own (miss)understood album, but every picture I find of the cover has the same "grainy" effect to it, and I´m not sure if the actual cover has it or its just that the scanned pictures of it are low quality? It seems weird to me that they added that grainy effect to it (well for artistic reasons?) because I´ve never seen that in any other album yet. Just wondering ^^ I love the cover anyway (ugh except the one with the HUGE smile xD)
