A certain tension is created between the circle's smooth shape and the fairly chiselled of the square. Additionally this effect is strengthened, through the contrast of the square's unobtrusive, muddy colour against the bright and shiny of the circle's pictures. The main impact of the front cover is given by the extraordinary actualized painting of the eyes. One will doubtlessly feel observed while beholding this cover. That's one aspect, why it belongs to my personal 'All Time Greatest Covers' hall of fame.
