The cover of an album has various squares, each with a band members' face in them. Most commonly done with four squares, one in each corner, though variations with more or less are still fairly common. Similar shapes (rectangles, parallelograms, etc.) still count, and the squares may be slightly offset. Commonly used on singles, EPs, and Greatest Hits Albums. The four-square variation is frequently a Stock Shout-Out to either The Beatles' album Let It Be or Andy Warhol's Shot Marilyns, five portraits of Marilyn Monroe painted in a riot of different colors, usually displayed in a grid of four.note The name comes from each canvas having been shot between the eyes by performance artist Dorothy Podber. A Sub-Trope of Face on the Cover. |

Undermind by Phish, which adds a purple tint and a grainy effect to the pictures. The cover was an intentional call-back to Let It Be because it was intended as Phish's last album, but the band wound up reuniting five years later. | |
