Uh... I don't think that's what he had in mind *laughing* And I tend to
agree with him...

Hmmm... well, I dunno. Honestly, if it weren't BOC, I probably wouldn't buy
an album with a cover like that. I mean, I find it more repulsive then
anything else... :-(

Yeah, me too. Both the title & cover would have been much better :-o

You've got a good point... My personal favorite was the cover for FoUO. I
also liked the covers of "Imaginos" and CE.
