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)

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.

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.
