It's a downright disturbing self-portrait that I'm sure had all his fans wondering "What was he thinking?!!" Despite the horrifying cover, the album contained some of his best solo material ever. So, while it's fun to speculate & over-analyze every little tidbit that comes along, even a simple picture, just remember it's THE MUSIC that matters!

But Michel Gondry (music video director, filmmaker) buys albums for the cover art. He says (and I paraphrase): "If you love the cover and you look at it while you listen, it will make you love the music."
I love this cover for GOS.

Fleetwood Mac helped me through a time of heartbreak. 12 years later, they broke my heart.
