I really don't think so, the picture of a band in the cover is just so
cheeeeeseee (and a completely lack of inventive). What keep it not so dull
is Jaz with that "hands in the face" position... it may speak of something
disturbing. And still, what about the new-romantic-style-guys at the
background just staring at the poor guy?... sorry i don't like it very
much.. 

Firedances is by far a more conceptual and artistic cover. 

The best for me are: 

Killing Joke (1980) 
What's This For 
Extremities 
Pandemonium

I'd say that the cover of NIGHTTIME is miles better than FIRE DANCES. I'll
take a shot of the band over a shot of a pyromaniacal mime any day of the
week.
