That's not what my strokes cover looks like!
The corpses all hang headless and limp bodies with no surprises and the blood drains down like devil's rain we'll bathe tonight I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls Demon I am and face I peel to see your skin turned inside out, 'cause gotta have you on my wall gotta have you on my wall, 'cause I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls collect the heads of little girls and put 'em on my wall hack the heads off little girls and put 'em on my wall I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls

I don't think that version was released in the US and Canada. I think that is the Australian album cover.
At wave level, everything exists as a contradiction. Everything is existing in more than one stage/place at any given moment. Everything must move/vibrate and constantly change to exist. Everything, including buildings, mountains, oceans and thoughts.

It's the english cover and got a lot of heat over there.  So their mangement had them change the cover for the u.s.  You can buy it from such sources as cdnow.com.

Why should a cover like that get any heat? It's showing no more than a woman in short shorts would.

Oh, did anybody know that CDnow got bought out by amazon? I used to go there to listen to audio clips from cd's because amazon only lets you hear samples from the first 5 tracks, so that sucks.

I refused to buy Is This It in the American version; that cover was so lame. Luckily, Best Buy is pretty good about carrying imports these days, so I just picked it up there for a few dollars more.

SHAFTR

I have both versions...
the UK version has New York City Cops on it.

These next one are from a great norwegian band called Kaizers Orchestra:







I like to think of them as the Criterion of album covers :P  Clean, simple, and to the point.
