The image is from some artists photography series and the statement was there was no theme or message whatsoever across the images in his series.

Theres nothing to get, or its entirely up to you and no interpretation is wrong

It's several phallic objects descending from something.

Also, the Coil "star" is actually an asshole.

it's a drawing by kyle field from some sort of freestyle drawing competition
not that it explains much about it but since it was improvised i don't really think much thought was put into it having any substantial meaning

that's actually quite interesting, do you happen to know the name of the series or the photographer?

69 Love Songs

So it's the juxtaposition of the profane and the sentimental, the low and the high, the base instincts that drive us sexually and the noble impulses that drive us to try to be better.

It's immature and also earnest. It's puerile but also corny. It's dirty but it's also got a warm heart.

It looks like the kind of color scheme/aesthetic that was popular with snowboarders at the time.

It suggests sportiness (always an attractive quality in young men) and also exhibits a slick, clean, and slightly edgy aesthetic that was pretty trendy at the time.

Also it features pictures of each of the band members, whose appearances were part of the appeal of the band.

Is this an ape on the cover? And why does it look like that?
>>
>>61117573
it's fitting with the music, which is enough for it to make sense as a cover. look at it holistically instead of asking yourself why there's sheep there.

>>61124218
It's a lower part of a man's body. The legs are placed together.

The "head" is actually the ballsack and the "hole" is a chopped-off penis.

The Japanese thing fits with Across The Sea (which is about a Japanese girl). It's also just a postcard that Rivers found somewhere.

This in combination of Spirit of Eden always seemed so enigmatic to me, obviously it's some kind of genesis/destruction thing but I feel like I'm missing something

>>61124423
yeah it was taken in a local quarry. they grew up together and that was a spot they liked hanging out at even though they werent allowed to be there. they thought it would be a good place to use for their album cover
>>
>>61126214

The birds are resting in leaves that look like the continents. There's no deeper meaning behind the cover; the art was made before the album was made. Talk Talk just had a long partnership with the artist.

The lyrics, however, seem like incomprehensible nonsense.
