They were originally gonna make TKOL cover art painted portraits of each band member but the designer (can't remember who it is that does all the covers) ended up just painting over it all.

Nice little tid bit right there, I can totally make out the face there, probably why he went with the the tape there to begin with, I enjoyed it better thinking it was just a mishaped nugget and felt it spoke to the aesthetic heights the album strived to.

I actually like this one, the colors on the cropped painting aren't very appealing.

Not as bad since the Flenser repress framed it in the same way as TUW, I like continuity. They are very black and white albums respectively so I'm glad they did that, they look good side by side
