Well of course you'd say that, you're trying to convince people that the Dead Ringer album cover is a parody of Raft Of The Medusa, when clearly most people don't see it. I understand how you might have jumped to that conclusion.

I could probably argue that it's a parody of Rembrandts - The Storm or some other painting of a sea-going vessel in rough weather. Or perhaps it's just a nice album cover and not a parody of anything.
