#333 The Best Album of 1989, Round 2 Match #82: Ministry vs. Bonnie Raitt

Best Album Brackets Logo #2.jpg

Hey folks!

First pic: On a black background, an X-ray of a human skull. There appear to be metal bracers or attachments of some kind within the flesh of the head, two near the nasal area and one on the right side near where the ear would be.  Second pic: A photograph of Bonnie Raitt, a lean white woman with big curly reddish brown hair with a slight streak of white on the front. She's dressed in black, possibly leather, and the shirt underneath has a tiger pattern print. She's smiling. Slung around her shoulder is her guitar, but the guitar is on her hip and mostly cut out of the picture, so we only really see the strap, which looks vaguely like snake skin. One hand is on the guitar, and the other is on her giant metal circular belt buckle. The belt buckle has a red-brown circle in the middle, and she has her finger on it, like pressing a button.
