Never in my life have I based my attraction to a band on their visual identity. Yeah, album art was cool and could influence a purchase back when we used to buy physical albums, but today it's nearly pointless.
Most people today find out about music by hearing it, either from a friend's playlist, on the radio, in a store, and then downloading the appropriate track or album. A visual identity gives the impression of trying to hard, and it won't necessarily be seen; it's a waste of time.
