the cover is gorgeous!

That cover is just BAD. From the picture down to the font.

No ma'am

everlastingRAINBOW · #**163** 27th May 2012, 04:51 PM

You all are crazy, the cover is stunning!

AyusakiFan · #**164** 27th May 2012, 04:52 PM

I hope that the special packaging they have for the album is illusionary like the first press packaging that they had for "NAKED/Fight Together/Tempest to play up the eclipse in the background.

Not a fan of the cover. I mean, shes gorgeous but...everything else just screams bad.

AyuGAME · #**166** 27th May 2012, 05:32 PM

hmmm..not sure about the cover...

MemorialAddress · #**167** 27th May 2012, 05:42 PM

I love the photo, but I don't like how the font color is so close to her hair color. You can hardly read the title

But overall I'm pleased

Except I guess I was hoping for a fierce ass photo, with a title like Uncontrolled :/

Rocky Raven · #**168** 27th May 2012, 06:12 PM

^ I honestly really don't care about the font color at all cuz after all it will still be gold-plated just like her other album cover =]

#**169** 27th May 2012, 06:21 PM

is this cover album?
The photo is OK. & it seems like she's not wearing anything...which is weird.

Guhhhhhhhhhh, mixed feels about this cover...

On one hand, I really like that they incorporated the eclipse in the background, and Namie looks cute. BUT, on the other hand, the font looks like Fiolex Girls which you can find on Microsoft Word and the color of the font is bad. Someone said it will be gold-plated in person and I sincerely hope that's true. Also, they could have chosen a better picture of Namie. She's absolutely stunning-- this photo does not do her justice.

According to this screencap from CDTV, the tracklist will be rearranged and the titles for "Go Round" and "YEAH-OH" will be changed as well. It is speculated that these two songs may differ from the single versions and will be album mixes (like how Violet Sauce (Spicy) differs from the single version).

AyuHamasaki01 · #**172** 27th May 2012, 08:00 PM

^Oh that would be awesome!

Kouyou · #**173** 27th May 2012, 08:12 PM

That's interesting... but, I love the single mixes of Go Round and YEAH-OH.

These new mixes will have to be pretty amazing to top the originals!

everlastingRAINBOW · #**174** 27th May 2012, 08:35 PM

The font won't be that bad once it is printed, my first thought was "gold plated". You can't judge the quality of the font based on the photoshopped version! And I *really* hope there are new mixes! How cool would that be!! And anyone *****ing about loving the originals: download them or buy the single.

Not Fade Away · #**175** 27th May 2012, 09:02 PM

I'm actually loving the cover pic more and more. It's so simple and intimate, and I think that's what she was trying to go for for her 20th anniversary. It kind of sends a message like "I want to be close to my fans" while at the same it kind of shows how much power she has by using it in conjunction with the eclipse.

Overall, it makes her look powerful. I just wish the font would dissappear and then I'd be happy.

AyusakiFan · #**176** 27th May 2012, 09:45 PM

Although I do enjoy the single mixes of "Go Round" and "YEAH-OH", I would be super excited if they did revamp them for album mixes as I do think that they have the potential to go even harder. Maybe they will make Go Round sound like one song instead of two sings mixed together (lol) even though it has grown on me the way that it is. I LOVE the current version of "YEAH-OH" but I wouldn't mind a harder beat that could take the song to a whole different level. As I stated before, these songs being changed to album mixes are only speculations but I don't see why they'd need to change the name of the song if they didn't tweak them. Plus, CDTV tends to be correct as far as tracklisting information so I will be accepting this as the final tracklist until it's officially announced.

Ohhhh, I didn't think of that. You're probably right =) Yay, I'm glad!

AyusakiFan · #**178** 27th May 2012, 10:15 PM

I think I'm going to hold off from critiquing the cover any further until I physically have the album in hand. The first press special packaging may further enhance the beauty of the cover such as the "NAKED packaging" did for NAKED/Fight Together/Tempest. I'm sure Namie has something up her sleeve to make this cover even more special (like the gold plated lettering as someone mentioned before).

Lady~Deviance · #**179** 27th May 2012, 10:29 PM

I do hope her management decides to put "album mixes" of a few songs on the album. To me that would make loading all of her singles onto the release more worthwhile and less redundant.

I'm curious to see the overall sales of this album. I wonder if it will outsell "Past<Future" in the long run.

**Calico** · #**180** 27th May 2012, 10:53 PM

I have mixed feelings about that cover. I like the idea of it, but not the execution.

I hope they don't change too many of the songs' sounds. I know lots of people have bought the singles but I personally haven't bought any and was looking forward to having them all on this release. But if they're BETTER then heeeey.
