Mass Romantic
''Mass Romantic'' is the debut studio album by Canadian indie rock supergroup The New Pornographers. Produced by David Carswell and band bassist John Collins, it was released on Mint Records on November 28, 2000. The album was three years in the making, with musicians A.C.

KKKill The Fetus
''KKKill the Fetus'' is the third studio album by Esham. Released in 1993, the album's lyrics focus on subjects such as abortion and murder. The album, which has been cited as an iconic horrorcore album, has been praised for its genre-defining production and lyrics. It is considered to be Esham's critical breakthrough, compared to lackluster reviews of his previous albums. The single "Sunshine" received very heavy radio play nationally. The music video for "Hellterskkkelter" was featured on an episode of ''Yo! MTV Raps'' in 1994, and was given out at an autograph signing at Rock of Ages in rare VHS form during the promotional launch. Lyrics and music The album's title track encourages drug-addicted pregnant women to have an abortion rather than give birth to their children to be raised improperly. The album's cover depicts a fetus simulating fellatio and thus would be born not only a dope fiend, but also a sex fiend which is why abortion is stressed in the album's title track. Many ...

The Lion And The Cobra
''The Lion and the Cobra'' is the debut album by Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor, released on 4 November 1987 by Ensign and Chrysalis Records. O'Connor recorded the album while in the later stages of pregnancy with her first child. The title of the album is from "you will tread upon the lion and cobra", and the track "Never Get Old" opens with an Irish language recital of Psalm 91 by singer Enya. The photograph of O'Connor on the album cover was taken by Haysi Fantayzee member Kate Garner. The covers of the United States and Canada issues differed from the European release, as it was decided a more subdued pose would present a "softer" image of the star. The first single, "Troy", peaked at number eight in the Netherlands and number 12 in Belgium. It was not a hit in Britain when it was released there in 1987. The second single – " Mandinka" – was a mainstream pop hit in the UK, peaking at number 17 in the singles chart in February 1988, and at number six in her native Irel ...
