Album cover
The cover art was done by Turner Williams Jr., who plays shahi baaja on the record. It is said to depict a dream that drummer Greg Fox had. Portions of the cover are reflected in a poem included in the albums packaging, in which he hands a copy of the album to God and finds out he is an alien.
