Sunshine made a typo, haha.

Anywayz, I can safely say that (m)u didn't generate as much hate as compared to rite now for sure. Most people do hate the monkey smile (which I dun think it's that bad), and some were kinda disappointed that the covers were taken during B&D pv shots. Overall the comments were not that negative. At least we can say the love-hate ratio is about 50:50.
Safely say? Are you sure? Then again, people weren't as scarily rabid as they are now, haha. Trust me, it was bad. I remember the promo photo came out on the Onimusha site and people were like "Is that the cover? PLEASE DON'T BE THE COVER." and.. it was the cover.

So yeah.

It was probably even worse than now because that was an ALBUM, and I remember some kind of similar outrage at the really bad booklet as well, haha. (m)u was amazing and.. RUINED BY THE BOOKLET/COVER. Or something.

Also: I feel as though people remember the past and are like "Nah, things were okay back then.." but... yeah.. NOT REALLY. However, I will agree that since 2006 [Secret was the last really good cover imo.] her covers have SUCKED compared to her older stuff.
