True to the album title “Fantastic Spikes Through Balloon,” we photographed all the balloon-like objects we could think of (sausage, whoopee cushion, blowfish, etc.) and punched a lot of holes through them. Since the band did not want their audience to read the lyrics while listening to the music (“This is not a poetry affair”), the words to the songs are printed flipped so they are only readable when seen reflected in the mirror of the CD.
