Fire All Your Guns at Once
A photograph of the band is inserted in the middle of the album cover. From left to right: guitarist Ruthie Morris poses with her hand to her chin, bassist Shannon Mulvaney stands to her left, vocalist Linda Hopper stands to his left smiling, and drummer David McNair is at the extreme left covering his face with his left hand. A white border surrounds the photo with "magnapop" written in black at the top and "FIRE ALL YOUR GUNS AT ONCE" written in red at the bottom; "FIRE" is larger than the rest of the title.
