Hey, cool that they’ve put the album versions of the songs on the album (Vulnerable, Salvation, Queen Of Rain) instead of the single edits. There aren’t any cheers at the beginning of QOR, are there? (*looking hopeful*)

try with an helvetica 45 and with a helv. 65.. i’m sure are that...
joyrider said on October 24, 2002 15:13:
yeah, could be ... helvetica is a kind of arial-style ... very simple. i think this font style is maybe too simple for an album-cover-artist.

I’m sorry, but is that the best they could have done with the back cover?
DTR24 said on October 24, 2002 22:31:
You don’t like it. I think it the best they could have done. Because everything is Simple. rasberries on milk ... very loftish ... and now what do you imagine on the back ? Milk with choclate arial written on it ?
Oh no Please !!
It’s simple and just Balladish !

It’s Helios Light and Helios Bold (sligthly condensed)
Helvetica has wrong “a” letter.

Wow. Great pics! I love it. It’s so simple.
Note about the versions that are being included. Apparently, we get the “Swedish Single Edit” of “Listen To Your Heart” according to the 5:14 time length. Another interesting note is that it looks like we get the “Single Edit” of “Crash! Boom! Bang!” at 4:25. HMMM. It would be nice to have the album version of course, since they didn’t include the edit of “Vulnerable.” I wonder why? But it’s EMI....excuse me, Capitol. Go figure! :p

Let me put it this way: “I could have thought of something like the back cover because it is milk and typing and I’m not a graphic designer! maybe at least 2 or three lost floating rasberries floating representing that they are not with someone because they are not on the front cover with the other berries in the heart, most of the songs are not LOVE songs it is HEART BREAKING songs, so it could have been appropriate?

Erwee, dont break ur head on this issue - Jonas is a BAD designer - awesome photographer absolutely amazing director, but a BAD DESIGNER. Take it from some1 who knows. After everyone dissed Roxette for using Karl-Magnus to design all the HAND stuff, they had to go back to their conservative roots.

So I guess my hopes that the US mix of LTYH might have its chance this time are to be gone... Oh well...

Tell us if the booklet with the lyrics (I suppose) says “repent”, “reaping”, “reapwork” or whatever else in A Thing About You...
Tell us if Breathe is a power ballad, if it sounds like Little Girl, if it’s sung by Marie, Per or both, which instruments are mainly used, if it’s reminds you of any other song in melody, in rhythm, in harmony, if you hear any Rickenbacker guitars... or just rip it and send to me by e-mail... :)
PLEASE!!!!!! :DDD
