I haven't listened to it yet. It only arrived yesterday.
From the three songs i heard before i bought it, it's a return to catchiness. The last album What About Now? wasn't that great in the hummable department, it's ballads standing out more.

For anyone interested, Poundland are currently selling 12.5 inch by 12.5 inch photo frames - or to put it another way, photo frames that are big enough for an LP record

Photo Frame Record

I currently have my signed Iron Maiden 'Powerslave' and King Diamond 'Conspiracy' albums in them, and will be going back to get two more - one each for my original cover Guns N' Roses 'Appetite For Destruction' LP and my original cover Uncle Sam 'Heaven Or Hollywood' (if Chloe lets me put it up!)

The frames are fine for single albums, but you might struggle to get a double album or something with a gatefold release in it

[Nosferatu@Cult Labs]

If you do have all four framed, it would be great to see photos of them. If not, photos of the two signed ones which you do have on the wall would be very welcome.

They would be great to house some picture discs. I think i'll spend a pound or two on them. I too have the original Appetite sleeve. Sadly not the Uncle Sam one though.

OK - this MIGHT work! Got a new camera which I am struggling with - it tends to turn itself off after a minute, stating it has 'low battery power', even tho the batteries are new. Will have to take to back to Argos and get a refund I think

Anyway...

1) Iron Maiden. Ignore the name the signatures are dedicated to. It was a long time ago! Starting from the top, and moving clockwise, we have Adrian Smith, Steve Harris, Dave Murray, Nicko and Bruce D. This was after a show they played at the Southampton Gaumont on the World Slavery Tour, 7th October 1984

2) King Diamond. The messages are 'Stay Heavy', '9' and 'I Hate Dr. Landau', while the signatures are King Diamond and (I think) guitarist Andy LaRocque. Again, it was a long time ago. It was at an 'in-store signing' at a heavy metal shop in London in 1989. I forget the name of the shop, but it was off Wardour Street, and you had to go downstairs to get to it!

3) Uncle Sam. The original cover for the 'Heaven Or Hollywood' LP, before it was censored by having the girl wearing underwear

4) Guns N' Roses. The original 'rapist robot' cover which was withdrawn and replaced with the cross cover

5) Kate Bush. This is a Canadian import from 1983. Hey, if you have a picture of Kate Bush in lingerie, you HAVE to frame it, don't ya!

That would be Shades. I actually got my Uncle Sam album from there.
