I think it's better if she's not dirty. Not everyone bound by rope has to have been tied up, dragged through the mud, and thrown in a hole to rot. Though I guess that's also biased because my general exposure to imagery with rope these days tends to be very clean. So the feeling of being bound is still there without the other stuff.
It's clean and focuses on the symbolism the rope holds while her facial expresses the emotion on an album cover probably since A Best and before that A song for xx. Typically she's more vacant. But here you can tell she is feeling different things. Mostly negative but possibly with some will to go on.

I'm curious to see if she uses the rope in the rest of the album shoot. This cover just really gives me such a different vibe from usual.
