Background

The correct title is simply Jurassic 5, although in some listings it is referred to wrongly as the Jurassic 5 LP, as "LP" confusingly appears on the album sleeve (including the CD version) artwork, which was used to distinguish it from the Jurassic 5 EP.

The Jurassic 5 logos on both the album and the EP were designed by Chali 2na.

gollark: Maybe it's some philosophical thing on the purpose and effect of punishment.
gollark: Or he's just talking about a slightly different thing. Hopefully?
gollark: ... punishing someone who killed someone is *bad*?
