And Ms. Mollies hand behind her???

Edited September 5, 201311 yr by holler

Did they just photoshop Frankie's bump??? :o

 

Her face looks way too skinny on that cover for her to be pregnant on it. I remember I spotted her pregnancy right away in February/March because I thought it was obvious with her weight gain. She's too skinny on that cover to actually had a baby bump.

 

Rochelle already had back hair in November when she was about 3 months pregnant, so I suppose she's the one that got her bump cut out.

The cover is nice but it doesnt match the title.

Their performance on Alan Carr gave it away for me. There were a few close-ups of Frankie and her face definitely looked a bit chubbier. :lol:

TL;DR coming up. ;)

 

I really don't like the cover at all. Leww's version improves it by getting rid of the horrid looking logo, mind you! Though I'm not keen on the picture of them tbh. Mollie's left arm extending towards Frankie looks weirdly long (I half suspect that they edited out Frankie's bump and extended Mollie's arm to compensate for it), and her right arm seems to fade weirdly into nothingness behind Vanessa's hand. Therefore her arms make her look really odd to me. I suppose it wouldn't be a Saturdays cover without their designers messing with their bodies somehow. :drama: (Hello to Vanessa's huge head on 'Gentleman').

 

The title & that image of them are a total mismatch. Like Casey said, it doesn't look like they're living for the weekend whatsoever! They look more like they're posing for a Desperate Housewives DVD cover, or a fashion shoot. Sure, they look nice/pretty, but it's so uninspired for an album cover. Their team really needs to look back to 'Headlines!' or 'Chasing Lights' and remind themselves what a good pop album cover should look like.

 

Moving onto the track list - tbh I have no complaints about the standard track listing. I actually wanted '30 Days' to be included, as I'm not keen on non-album singles. The deluxe is pretty disappointing though. A deluxe is meant to have some incentives to make people want to spend the extra money on it, surely. Including a B Side is lame, and including remixes that are previously available is so lazy & boring. All in all there will be one unheard remix as the sole "new" bonus, which is poor. I could take or leave the "signed" poster.

 

Kind of funny that the 'What About Us' track tagged as "(Album Version)" won't actually be on the main version of the album... :D Technically the Sean Paul version is the album version. :drama:

 

It's also a shame that the 'All Fired Up' tour recording seems destined to remain in the vaults. It's been almost 2 years now, and I think packaging it with this album was really the last time they could appropriately put it out there.

 

I'm looking forward to the new tracks... and that's the main thing. Overall though, it's disappointing. Definitely won't be buying both versions in the first week - will wait for the other version to be slashed in price before I add it to my collection.

 

So a few weeks after the release then? :P

 

 

I'm coming across as a massive hater, but I actually love them! They've just not had a good album campaign since their debut. The 'What About Us' artwork would be more fitting than the one they're using for this whole 'Living For The Weekend' shite. I still absolutely HATE the name. I wish they'd stop trying to look glamorous all the time and let their hair down a little bit and actually show some of that personality they obviously have.

Not that they look like they're any more 'living for the weekend' in this, but I'm going to use it because I like the picture more :lol:

I can't believe this shoot was for a CALENDAR and they throw sh!te like that out for the album cover! Oh well.

That is glorious! Sometimes artwork designers have no clue.

The artwork for this was shot at the same shoot for What About Us.

I've preordered Stanard and Deluxe for me and two Standard as xmas gifts :)

 

Wonder why they havnt put up an iTunes pre-order yet :S

because they would need to put the clips of the tracks? I am not sure haha

Was releasing album tracks now part of the plan, or were they forced to release, coz of fake tracks getting circulated.

They don't need to do that, they could easily put it up with no clips. It's odd how they've not put it up :unsure:

I was expecting them to leave '30 Days' off the album to be honest. Glad they haven't though as it's a great song and it continues the pattern of under-performing lead single and big selling second single! :D

I'm guessing they want as many people as possible to order through Universal directly first as there's probably a higher profit margin and I'm guessing they want to shift as many of the deluxe version with the poster as these have obviously been printed or perhaps they are judging how many will need to be signed??

 

 

I guess physical albums still have the majority in the market - or am I really wrong lol

MAYBE THERE'S SOME ITUNES BONUSTRACKS? :w00t:

 

*go cancel her Universal preorder :basil: *

 

(Nah, just kidding. :lol: I did pre-order the Standard Edition, though. But that's it. I couldn't care less about these cheap remixes and Wildfire that I already have. I won't even talk about signed posters.

 

Although, knowing them, they will most likely give the videoclips away with the album on iTunes. But probably no bonustracks. <_< )

The fact that there is a Not Giving Up remix gives an indication that it will be a single, don't think anyone has mentioned this yet.

It could just mean that it was planned to be a single so remixes were commissioned but then they changed their minds.

'On Your Radar' had so many fantastic songs that were passed up.. I wouldn't get your hopes up :(

or they just had an album track remixed, it's not that unusual

Oh I guess that's true, let's also flashback to the "Starsmith" *cough* SINGLE MIX!! Of One Shot which was included on Headlines! But we all have our fingers crossed, but saying that we could all hear the full version of NGU and be unamused... unlikely, but could happen, miss the days when fan demand saw a song get released... Ego... Work, but then I don't know about Work, If I remember, it was supposed to be third single, but then got pushed back, then 4th single then got pushed back again... anyway!! I just miss the days of post-album singles.

12 tracks is the standard for any pop album. And you can tell me it isn't 'good enough' when you've heard the damn thing!

 

 

I'm actually disappointed with the tracklist as well. I agree 12 tracks is the standard but they have already released four singles from the album and it also includes a couple of b sides already available....
