itt we unfairly judge albums we haven't heard on the basis of their cover alone

Presumably Gershwin face is on the right and Debussy face is on the left, but how are these quasi identical dour expressions even remotely representative of the stylistic differences between the two composers? And is it just me or is he going for the Steven Segal-as-naturalized-Russian-citizen look? And what's up with that blurry third silhouette in the background, which only encroaches on the Gershwin face? Decent head of hair and I'd rock that blue suit if afforded the chance, but hard pass nonetheless.

Is that a superfluous billy goat in the lower left corner? Why are there no less than four flying saucers and could they have not been spread out more harmoniously, as befits an advanced alien race capable of space travel across unfathomable distances? Is the mob boss supposed to be a kind of stand-in for the city in its entirety and if so, how is that not a boring af portrayal of Chicago? Isn't 'Illinoise' the laziest possible pun one could come up with in this context? Nor am I impressed with the unnaturalistic grid-like skyscrapers. Meh, this looks like a 4/10 album at best.

Would the composition be improved I wonder if the balloons were replaced with I dunno, a shit rendering of Superman or something.

Now that you mention it…

I think I actually prefer that cover to the record it houses tbh.
