This album
cover is both relevant, and effective. The album is called, ‘Awake’, and so,
the image on the cover is that of a person, whom we assume to be male, whose
head is wrapped up as though he has just had surgery performed on his head, or
as though he has been wrapped up as an Egyptian Mummy would be -- this
interpretation in itself is relevant as one of the songs on this album is
called, ‘Monster’, and an Egyptian Mummy is often portrayed as being a monster
in horror genres of media. The man’s entire head is wrapped up, except his left
eye, which has purposefully been left unwrapped so that one can see his eye as
it is wide open, thus referring to the album title, ‘Awake’.
Overall, it
is perhaps implied that the man was thought to be dead, and has made somewhat
of a miraculous recovery.
