I still dislike the Covers. The idea might be okay (she isn't know for over-the-top creative concepts anyways) but the execution is really lackluster. As I said yesterday, the effect they put on the pictures just pulled apart the wires and her body and she looks totally photoshopped into it. The shots are not cohesive at all.
Other than that, the contents of the whole albums are lackluster. Releasing 9 out of 13 songs prior might not be the best idea, then again, I did listen to them much cause I knew it would happen (still i hoped for additional songs last minute).
I actually enjoy the concept song-wise tho. I assumed quite a while ago that she will revisit her career somehow. We have a throwback to her summer songs (literally called summer time - so far the weakest trackk and more b-side material tho), we have her ero-kakoii image (STRIP, GET NAKED - putting everything quite literally), we have her cellphone ballads (with the title "again" being very ironic), her recent urban sound (DO ME and also GET NAKED), her usually cheerful crowd song (Put Your hands Up!), a throwback to her covers (GOLDFINGER), her urban collabos (SEAN PAUL), the japanese-western sound (again the feature, having GOLDFINGER in both languages) and what seems to be a more cutesy song (k,).
