Wow, how did she do that? In Photoshop? I wanna make one too We should all have one

I was just thinking about the strange line at the bottom of the cover. It's exactly the bottom part of the Mika-Picture, only a little bit smaller. So maybe it's really foldoutable. And if it is so, than there is probably the same picture of Mika beneath it. But as it must be smaller, than there is much more space above Mika. So MAYBE there is a picture under the one we see now where the artwork is exactly like he has described it in the Belgian interview (lot of things coming out of his head...)?

Just guessing - and hoping

My first impressions of the album cover was not the best, I like but does not convince me, I think That eventually I will come to love...and want to hear all the songs!!!!

I have a question, I want to buy one of the editions That Are sold in the store Mika but
I no have the credit card, there another option?

i'm not sure in your country, but in mine, we can buy prepaid credit cards (like a giftcard) for $25 / $50 / $100 ... maybe that's an option?

or perhaps someone you know (friend/sister/parent) can buy it for you and you pay them back?

Okay so this is the album cover. I guess I really like it, but not as a cover. I'm rather disappointed actually. And the back page would look much better with out Mika in gold "letters"
But we'll get the album soon so I can't be more happy about that, just that I wonder didn't Mika say it only would be 12 love songs, not that I complain.

And just one quick question, does anyone know how many album versions there will be, and what kind of poster it is you'll get and why it's more expensive than the the deluxe edition?


And why on earth is he releasing the album in the UK the 8 of October?

I`ve noticed "Heroes" in the track list.

I have heard nothing about this song in earlier articles and interviews so MB it`s a cover of David Bowie`s song ? I wonder....

It´s not a cover, it´s a song about soldier veterans and it´s really beautiful.
