Trivia

 * The poses being performed by the members of the band on the cover art mimic that of the Beatles on the cover of their sixth album, Help!. The arm positions spell out the word "HELP" in flag semaphore; a form of hand signals used to convey messages across long distances (especially during emergencies). In the context of the both Every Planet We Reach is Dead and Help!, the artists are both calling out to someone/anyone to rescue them from a seemingly hopeless scenario which for the Gorillaz, involves being stranded on a distant planet far away from home.


 * At first glance, the red/orange planet depicted on the cover could be mistaken as Mars but, judging by its adjacency to Earth (in the background), the setting of the cover art may actually be the Moon during a lunar eclipse.
