On the one hand you do have the deliberate cheapness and the crassness of the skull, which is entirely in keeping with the 80's horror soundtrack vibe of the music and there's some sort of narrative being set up - the skull isn't facing itself, it's freaking out at something unknown located outside of the shot (in the car? outside the car?). The different reflections in the mirror are puzzling cos it looks like the windows are reflecting back into it. You've got that white van and you're wondering what's in the back, or who just got out. And where does that path outside lead? And then you have the beauty of the raindrops on the windscreen, that lovely greenness of the garden, the way the sky is actually quite bright, but the blue sun strip thing is modulating the light.

I'm pretending also that it's Mike Watt freaking out five miles down the road from the Double Nickels shot as Donald Pleasence steps out of the van ahead.

Reading the praise for that Umberto cover is making me question my own reality and sense of order in the universe.

Nice. I think this might be one of my favorite Bobby P covers yet.

want to like the new dopesmoker cover, as i've been a roper fan for ages, but like i said on some sleep thread or another, this is the best part of the design, imo:

I thought the white van in the Unberto cover was a disco ball sitting in the back seat. Like, skeleton and his buddy disco ball driving around on a rainy night. And I loved it.
