The specialty of that LP is, that the name Hawkwind isn't mentioned anywhere on the cover. They did it after their self destroying US tour and had a quarrel on the rights of the bands' name .The style of music I would describe as very early New Wave.

Right, they wanted to call it 25 Years On, but decided to name it only Hawklords. So an extra pint to the Sunday roast for you! Before you drink it, we like you to start the next round!

I shouldn't have poked my nose in, really. I'm a big Hawkwind fan though and I couldn't resist.
OK, I'll give you as much as I can all in one go.
Eighties.
Symphonic Prog (but I hate labels)
The sleeve is quartered and each quarter is a dystopian scene.
The title of the album and the name of the band is repeated in each quadrant.
The band's logo is in the centre of the cover.
The title is a book, a film, and a Shakespeare quote.
Easy-peasy.

80s was a suck time for prog.
I'm taking a wild stab: Marillion?

Funnily enough, I got the remastered version of this only a couple of months ago - followed them around on the tour for this album as well.
The Enid - 'Something Wicked This Way Comes.'

Next mystery album is a result of the 2 musicians walking out of a band, leaving the singer and visual effects guy to do a scheduled tour and album contract.

A lot of the vocals for this album were recorded in the studio toilets.

Hawkwind plays the hits of ABBA?
No, but as you suggested, Metallica did! That was what I couldn't believe (without being a fan of Metallica)!
