It’s been too long since a bad album cover worthy of commentary has caught my eye, but this winner was too good to pass up. To begin with, Slim Goodbody has ALWAYS creeped me out. He has the hunted look of a Turkish prison survivor just out after a stretch for trying to smuggle some of the Taliban’s finest heroin into Vatican City.
And more importantly, the thing that makes this record truly creepy besides the come hither look (who’s he trying to woo in a getup like this, one of Pinhead’s flesh-rendering pals from Hellraiser?) and the faux-mime gesturing? Well, take a damn good look at ol’ Slim Goodbody here. What’s missing?
Eunuch Goodbody is more like it.
