This is probably my least favorite album cover of the year. I was waiting until I could scan the back of it (and gave up on getting to it), because as you follow the umbilical cord around to the back, the "only child" of the EP's title is depicted as conjoined twins. It's got the mock seriousness of seventh grade profundity (is it one child? or two?), and just looks ridiculous. The front's no better, though, where the mother's end of the umbilical cord comes out of her belly button. Perhaps anatomical accuracy would have made for an inappropriate drawing, but this one just makes no sense. And not in a silly kind of way, but just in a "why does this exist" sort of way.
