Oh no it's horrendous :lol:

 

It isn't my imagination is it? I'm not being my usual (Capricornian) miserable self am I? It is just truly atrocious!

 

Thank you!

No you're not! The colour is vomitous and there's something a bit disturbing about it! When it comes to TT I'm not adverse to a bit of nakedness but they just look freaky :lol:

The odd thing is ... that with Gary being crouched towards the left of the image ... I'm assuming they're saying he is the least evolved! :lol: And ... it's probably true!

What an absolutely horrible cover :mellow: up there with Amy MacDonald's 'I've put ten times too much makeup on today, so lets have an extreme close up picture' recent disaster as my least favourite album cover of the year. The image/concept is bad enough, but the yellow/orange background is vile!

I honestly think it is awful. I'm hoping that it means the content will be fabulous though (haven't there been other vile album covers ... where the album itself was brilliant?) I just cannot get over the reaction to it on the official site - most of the (say) they adore it. Those that don't are mostly non-commital.

I have to admit, I wasn't expecting much but I really like this! :o It sounds really 'classic', a great build up and fantastic chorus.

 

This is at least 200 times better than 'Greatest Day', and miles better than anything I heard from their last album too.

 

Welcome back guys, properly this time.

I agree about the album cover its horrible and the yellow just reminds me of glee album covers aswell.

I actually quite like the cover! It's not the best I've ever seen but it's different and it'll stand out. They could've gone for something dull and boring like most album covers these days but instead they've taken a risk and created something that people will instantly be drawn to and will recognise as a TT album. Good on them.

I agree, it's a great track. It should hopefully do well singles wise, and sell comfortably up to Christmas.

European iTunes (The Flood)

 

Germany - 8

Austria - 16

Italy - 23

Switzerland - 15

Sweden - 20

Denmark - 1

 

It's managing to hold on to number 8 in Germany but its dropping in the others. I'm not sure if they're going to be doing any European promo so it ain't bad going considering.

Oh no I missed that! Am curious now - will I find it elsewhere ;)

Somewhere on FB - but not sure if it's true ... my niece emailed me it thinking I'd be interested. If it was true ... its good news ... Mark gets most of the leads (which hopefully will shut the Gary and Rob fans up!) Apart from The Flood (again ... if true ... Gary only gets to sing one song). Again ... good ... I hope its true.

Interesting - fingers crossed. I hear tickets may be going on sale next Friday. Don't think I'll make it over to UK this year (presuming I could get tickets!). Really enjoyed the shows / shopping trips on the last two tours but times are hard!! Am hoping that they will do Croke Park again though :dance: .

Absolutely LOVE this! :o

By far the best song since their comeback, if not ever.

I agree ... apart from Rule The World, Patience, Shine and Up All Night.

I think its funny ... especially the Gary bit. Of course there are murmers of 'outrage' on official forums! :heehee:
