well I liked the other one, but this is grebt too

it screams 80s 12" single sleeve to me actually

Yes! It's the font I think. I'm thinking Journeys To Glory era Spandau, or Ultravox's "Hymn"

and i think some new order stuff (but i might be imagining it)

Spandau was exactly who I was thinking of

It *is*, isn't it? Though GA's attire (while correctly androgynous) is a little too spartan for the era. Still, magnificent.

LOVE the color-coding via eyeshadow thing.

Not 100% sure about Sarah's choice of eyeshadow there but yes, definite improvement :)

Only because the baseline was set so low! I think this looks really cheap, just not quite as nondescript as the mass market version.

I think it would totally miss the point for a Girls Aloud album to look 'expensive'? I would like to argue about this!

OK, a certain accessibility is part of their charm. But there's a world of difference between not looking unattainable, and looking cheap and trashy in a bad way.

i quite like it, although jeff is right about 12" single sleeve

Nicola doesn't seem to be quite so 'tangled up' on that cover...

it's the Bondage, Up Yours version of late-90s George Michael artwork...
