Album cover

The CD album cover is similar to the cover of Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer. The cover of the vinyl release is a parody of The Who's Odds & Sods album. Rather than the band's helmets reading "R O C K," they spelled out "F U C K"; this did not stop the album cover from being advertised on billboards in Japan.{{Cite web|url=http://adult.engrish.com/1998/02/11/chicken-zombies/|title=Chicken Zombies | Adult Engrish|date=April 14, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100414121022/http://adult.engrish.com/1998/02/11/chicken-zombies/|archive-date=2010-04-14}}
