On the flip side, all of the song titles on Mike Watt's "hyphenated-man" are based on illustrations, specifically the creatures in Heironymous Bosch paintings, like "Arrow-Pierced-Egg-Man" and "Head-And-Feet-Only-Man."

The Madness by The Madness #onethread
The album's sleeve was designed by Dave Gibbons and Rian Hughes.[10] On the back-sleeve each song listed was accompanied with a small drawing in similar style to the album's cover – resembling a face.[11]

niiice. that one's a legend in other threads for the title; had no idea the insides delivered as well. the "It's All Right" one has a hilarious desperation about it.

ELP's Tarkus has this in the gatefold, seven drawings which correspond to the different sections of the title track, although the lyrics don't really match the drawings. though they do match the titles of the section. it's kinda weird, I suspect there's no overarching concept just the band doing two things at once
