^^ It's a weird cover for a Sarah album, but I'm sure it'll grow on me eventually. I agree with You Oz, it also reminds me a lot of Smashing Pumpkin's Mellon Collie. ;)

Nice! It fits the album title perfectly. It's definately not a "typical " Sarah cover comparing it to her other album covers, but then why should it?! The first new single is a-typical too - can't wait to hear the rest of the album! Only 5 more weeks to go :D

One other thing about the cover. I think it is good and refreshing and a good step up but I am having trouble with Sarah's face on that cover. Don't get me wrong, I love her so much but the face looks odd. I feel that when I look at her, I don't see Sarah. She looks forced,tired. I don't know, maybe I'm the one who is tired. Anyways, just wanted to say that. :oops:

Yes, I agree, there is something odd about her expression. I can't put my finger on it as to whether she looks tired, forced or something else, but it's not her prettiest picture as far as her face is concerned.

I like the cover: it's true that there's an important theatrical aspect about it. It's not only a picture of Sarah, it's Sarah in a beautiful "mise en scène".

I'm really impatient to hear the other songs!!

i like the concept of the cover, very theatrical. like a few others, i'm having a minor issue with her face... it doesn't seem natural to me, reminds me of a mannequin. the other promo shots that were released look amazing.

It doesn't look natural to me as well. I'm not really crazy about the album cover, and right now I'm more interested in finding out whether or not the tracks on the album is worth the very loooooong wait.

I couldn't agree more Jessel! Enough talk about the outside, it's the inside that counts! ;)

Thank you all for seeing what I see. I thought maybe you all would jump on me for finding something different or difficult in the album cover. As a whole, I like it. It is new and refreshing like I said and it has been seven years. I guess we were not expecting the FTE era. Just the face looks plastic like if you know what I mean. :o
