I dont think the album version is real at all. Sometimes they just put pics up so they can have at least something for the people preordering. I think that is actually the Single cover and its ridiculously stupid.
It may be real, I don't see what's so bad/wrong about it. Yeah, an actual image of Beyonce would've been nice, but this is something different/unusual. I don't remember seeing many covers like this, do you?
