The shading on John Schlitt's face is somewhat messed up, but one only thinks about that if they've seen the first picture.

It still looks like a bad Photoshop job even without the context of the first picture.

Way different than I was expecting. I thought it hokey at first, but once they got to the instrumental bridge, it grew on me. Pretty solid stuff by the end.

That album is also called the "Weed" record.

I believe the "Weed" record you're referring to is Revival (aka "Petra Praise 3") not Vertical Expressions (aka "Petra Praise 4") by II Guys from Petra.

The dandelion on the album cover is a pesky weed. Not really the best symbol for a Christian record given the biblical references.
