Just out of curiosity. I know it's designed by Stanley Donwood. It looks like Futura with the M reaching slightly below the baseline.

If you are speaking about the cover attached below (for other's reference), yes, this is Futura.

The middle angle of M always slightly falls under the baseline in any version of Futura. Here, this effect is emphasized with addition of double outer stroke which falls under the baseline even further.

    Also note that in most typefaces, many of the characters extend slightly below or above the baseline. It's a subtle thing to optically adjust the characters to they 'look' equal in height (even if they are technically not).
