Cover art by Jenny Saville, the painter behind the pictures used for The Holy Bible. The Manics seem to be fans of her work. :)

Yeap I was just reading about this:
The album cover art uses an original painting, Stare (2005), by Jenny Saville, who also contributed artwork for The Holy Bible. The top four UK supermarkets stocked the CD in a plain slipcase, after the cover was deemed "inappropriate" due to the belief that the red on the boy's face was blood.[14] Bradfield said the decision was "utterly bizarre", and commented:[14]

You can have lovely shiny buttocks and guns everywhere in the supermarket on covers of magazines and CDs, but you show a piece of art and people just freak out.

The album cover art placed second in a 2009 poll for Best Art Vinyl.[15]

Jackie Collins Existential Question Time is fantastic song. Albini +Edwards magic :D Can't wait to listen to the album tomorrow (already midnight here)
 
Judas Priest - Future Of Mankind

A true masterpiece! Top 10 song. Never played live!!! Epic intro, pre-chorus, chorus and the verses are really fitting. Magical twin-lead guitar harmony and the solos are brutally good (both parts are very Maiden-esque). The spoken part is the only thing I don't like and I don't think it's necessary, only the riff would have been enough and a great way to transition to the fitting outro. The symphonic vibe of the song is also great. :rocker:
