Like their other records all have imagery that could suck someone into buying it w/out knowing what sonic youth sound like. This one's just like "Oh yeah, a SONIC YOUTH RECORD! BUY IT!!! SONIC YOUTH!!!" I mean I myself don't believe this but there is a certain weirdness when a record cover is like a brand name or logo. Seems kind of out of place with what we expect from sonic youth. Then again, I think I'm getting off on some of the textures... plus imagine if the LP was silkscreened... then we'd all be stroking ourselves
