Album art for 1-2-3-4 by The Gobs. A bright green and black illustration depicting a band, presumably The Gobs, performing on stage. The drumset says "I want to believe." The audience is in front, turned away from the stage and towards the viewer. One person is vomiting up the numbers "1-2-3-4!!" While a man with flames coming from his eyes and mouth drinks booze. Behind him on the right, someone strangles another person. In general they all look afraid. The reason for this is because two immense aliens at the top of the image are using magnifying glasses to set the stage on fire.
