don't judge a book by it's cover :-)
Warpaint, Rhodesongs, Building the Colossus, The Keep and even Rearmament 
have covers that are based on photos of Happy, so that's the ones to
choose from if you don't want monsters.
That leaves Rhodes I and Rhodes II with the lurking demons, Ecto with a 
blurred painting of a long-haired alien, and equipoise with the cover 
you're probably referring to. (though I think that's not drool on the 
alien's teeth, that's plaque :-)
I have the latter two and IMHO the covers reflect the lyrics quite well, 
regarding gothic tales like "Off from out from under me", "Ecto" and 
"Cohabitants". But if you expect it to sound like Iron Maiden just because 
the monsters on the cover, you might be disappointed. 
Btw, i had a quite good experience with mail order from Aural Gratification.

bye,
Rolf
