for straight ugly, not much is fuckin' with a dramatic experience:
I believe the album is about the evils of drugs (correct if wrong...) but, still...that is one ugly cover.
I think that was the point, wasn't it? This was indeed an anti-drug concept album, and think it was originally supposed to be called The Devil Is Dope, which explains why they'd put this Satanic monster on the cover.

That's why i mentioned it- the cover fits the overall theme that the album is going for. doesn't mean it still isn't superfugly. just because that was there goal doesn't mean it isn't repulsive.
Is it the red squirrel that is eating Tina's ankle?
I think it's them damn crash-test dummies all over the place that are creeping me out. They reappear on the back as well. Looks like they're in a morgue or something.
Man, I will be fine if I NEVER see that record again. That shit is just as ubiquitous as Firestone, Whipped Cream, etc.
I love that Johnny Harris cover though. People are always like "wtf is that?" when they see it. I need to track down Fragments of Fear. I know he has some other songs ("Footprints on the Moon" maybe?) related to that movie that didn't make it on Movements.

The Warner CD that's out in the UK has the mono mix of "Footprints On The Moon", and "Lulu's Theme", which was the B-side to that.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
This is a great cover.
don't get me wrong. i own it and appreciate/respect van vliet's music, but it's really one of my least favorite covers ever. sorry.

No wrong-getting here.
I love the cover for itself.
Wonderfully demented.
I especially like the double use of the hand that's holding the fishhead. One of the creepiest "helllooo" waves ever.
not a fan of the giant hand and the cartoony ringwraiths(?) in the sky

What don't you like about that one?

average record. non-front-on-able cover though. plus mine is signed!

In the last few years, when I look at this cover it reminds me of someone taking a picture of a cover, for an album they want to sell on eBay.
