They are definately unique.  The one I enjoy the most is the cover for Trepanation.  Deb's
menacing look defines the heavy style of the tunes on the album.  Then you've got the Medusa
imagery representing the song and merging well with the "heavy music inside" idea.
The best part though is that it includes all members of the band, showing that tBS aren't just
Deb and Al anymore, but a solid group.

It's taken me a while to get used to the cover of Box of Hammers.  I don't know if I'll ever really
like it, but I get the idea behind it.

The "Eponomous" is just funny.  It goes right along with the tone of the whole album and
although that's not the best picture of Al and Deb on the back cover, I think it's cool.  And
clever- especially for a hard rock album.

And they're all better than the cover of the Mirrors album, and about 90% of Hawkwind's covers!
