i've got this book with the 100 best album covers. its got a shit-load of info about each one. its from a designers point of view.. insight into how they did it, what computer (if any) programs they used, and just in general why it is so good. awesome book. you should be able to find it in most book stores.

I don't have a flick of it, but there was one album cover by a band called Brijeria, a mexican themed death metal band. On the cover was a picture of a severed head being held up by a hand. On the inside cover, you can see that it was a person decapitated by a train. It also shows the rest of his body, that had been dragged underneath the train, complete with pants pulled down, shit skids in the underwear and all. I think they were probably FBI crime photos, or some shit.

Hell yeah....I never thought I would hear someone bring that album up. Their lyrics are actually very dissapointing once translated.
