So it seems those 2 recently revealed songs are legit. At least it's not speculation now. I can accept them now.

And here is the best Promo Picture Yet. Watch out people. You just may go blind. Especially considering the Cover Frenzy going around here. Ready?

I'm so disappointed I'm not even looking forward to the album right now

hope I'll get over it...

There's still a glimmer of hope the US cover will be different? Or maybe the Japanese version I'm getting has a cool cardboard sleeve? I need to have SOMETHING to get excited about! (and the track titles are definitely not doing that)

I know I'll still love it though

hikki always amazes me

KarenPang · #**165** 19th February 2009, 01:47 PM

^ I sure hope that wouldn't be the official cover for the album

even if it's , then I can't do anything about it . Regardless of which , I will get it still

Beauty4123 · #**166** 19th February 2009, 01:58 PM

that new pic is cool

i like her sneakers, lol.

Meat Pao · #**167** 19th February 2009, 02:08 PM

._.

And so the 2 bonus tracks are really remixes. Argh. Not so excited for the album now, too.

I don't know why the bad covers have put me off the album. O__O I don't want it anymore, and I'm not really looking forward to it's release. I hope the Japanese version gets another cover, or like Exodus, another cover for the European release.

prussian blue · #**169** 19th February 2009, 02:53 PM

i dont know if this is posted before, its the tracklist of japanese version of this is the one. its from wikipedia by the way

Spoiler:

The covers put me off too... When it came out as the single cover and everyone hated it, everyone else was like, "Well no one is gonna see the single cover anyways!"

Well now that it's the album cover, everyone IS going to see it... :< And it's NOT pretty. If I saw that cover in a store I would likely not buy it... @_@ And not give her much other thought.

Like someone else said before, they must not be taking her American music very seriously if this is the kind of crap they're gonna put out as the cover. >> You can't tell me there was SERIOUSLY nothing else they could have used other than recycling the (alreadyhorribleenough) single cover?

KarenPang · #**171** 19th February 2009, 03:45 PM

^ you're right , they're not putting sufficient effort to promote her US career at this rate

they can't even come up with a decent cover for the album , oh god T_T

hpg23 · #**172** 19th February 2009, 04:21 PM

Please don´t let it be the American cover!! :|

If they really want to recycle, then use something from her Japanese career!! ¬¬

Exodus covers were much, much better.... argh

Sundae · #**173** 19th February 2009, 04:21 PM

That's the official site. I think we can consider this the real one. A online store might use a placeholder ,but I don't think that the offical website would use a placeholder. A little disappointed, but what can you do? That profile pic is great, but her face is in the same expression.

I find it a bit funny that BoA's management is so sensitive to the reaction of her fans, but Utada's isn't. BoA's scraps entire music videos but that won't happen to Utada. Gotta give kudos to that.

Andrenekoi · #**174** 19th February 2009, 04:40 PM

I'm the only person in the world that don't buy a album because of its cover, but because of its music? xD

Luv ~Venus~ · #**175** 19th February 2009, 05:03 PM

^Trust me. You're not the only one. :bored Yes, the cover is etty but I don't care. I'm buying the album because I know it's going to be good. Automatic Part II and Poppin' plz.

Besides, it's only $10 and its not like ur gonna stare at it 24/7. So plz get over ur obsessed habit of wanting to buy cds because of the covers. </3

Yeah, I'm glad those extras won't be on the American Version. That would mess it up for me. Just let it be the 1 through 10 complete Album and I'm good. A proper beginning and end.

Although, I don't like the placement of "Come Back To Me". I wanted that earlier in the Album to get it out of the way for nonstop new songs. Now that'll be lingering throughout my entire Album experience until I get to it. Annoying.

Maemi · #**177** 19th February 2009, 05:23 PM

=( It's so sad.... Well I have hopes for some great music ._.

No, I'm still buying the album.

I just meant, if I had kind of heard of her, and just supposed I liked "Come Back To Me", but I wasn't actually a FAN of her... I would probably not buy it because the cover is just... tacky. Whereas if I only knew CBTM, wasn't a huge fan, and the cover was omgamazing, I would definitely buy it without a second thought~.

I know covers really have no impact on the music inside but... if something is pretty, it's just so much more appealing to buy. And if it's ugly, it's not appealing.

I think after EXODUS, she just may not care.

Versus BoA, this is her first attempt. I'm sure she wants to make the best impression possible.
