Octopus has an awesome cover, and I dunno why but I like that weird giant they have for a mascot too.

But then there's this.

WTF

Kickass album though.

At least it has a point! (although so did Octopus)

It has taken every shred of our combined musical and technical knowledge to achieve this. From the outset we have abandoned all preconceived thoughts on blatant commercialism. Instead we hope to give you something far more substantial and fulfilling. All you need to do is sit back, and acquire the taste."

And so we begin with a pretentious proclamation and a giant tongue salivating, along with the music industry's ginormous ass sticking up towards the tongue.

I actually like the cover a lot

It's noticeable and memorable.

Yes usually have great album covers and Hipgnosis usually make great album covers.

But...

Well at least it fits with the music.

I like how the guy who is dressed the least awful is sitting down, presumably because he doesn't want to associate himself with the others.

Jesus. They maybe (and that's a big maybe) could've made that illustration work if handled the right way, but slapping that ugly gradient behind it was not the way to go at all.

I dunno I think it personifies the title of the album perfectly. The best part is that I see this on a regular basis just living in Nevada, it's hilariously depressing.

The real horror is the back cover , not the front.
