Is that what you wanted? Or do you want it without the font too?

I can't @ this re-release. Hope we'll have some more tracks like Video Games or Blue Jeans

I wanted the Paradise edition. The EP album art but without the parental sticker. Without the Born To Die.

I've just realized that this is release the same day as 1D new album. 
I hope she can be #1 in the U.S and surprise us all.

It's obvious. Critics/reviewers are still fuming over her success in the last 8 months despite the harsh criticism they gave her and try to bring her down at the beginning of the year.

She wasn't going #1 in first place sadly. Taylor will be selling six figures a week, 1D, etc.. hopefully it will return to the top five, though. The goal is to hit Gold and up this Holiday.

Taylor's album is out in Oct.
I am sure she can hit #1 WW if not in the U.S.

No, you have to read very well that article to understand what he's trying to say. He did exaggerate in some things, but he has few very good points there. And he gave her album positive review 7/10 http://thequietus.com/articles/07839...-to-die-review

It's out October 22nd and is already predicted to do 900k-1 million. By November 13th, she'll still be selling at least 150-200k, which Lana will not make. Worldwide is out of the question either, again with Taylor and then of course One Direction debuting. The album will have a nice boost, though so that's the good thing.

For starters, there are no drums – substituted for a piano on rhythm duties. Along with lending extra menace, on Born To Die the drums modernised the songs, offering either Bjork-ian industrial percussion or slow-jam r'n'b rhythms: sorely absent here at least where the good time revellers are concerned. To make matters worse, there's an extended section featuring just Lana and the piano, stripping 'Million Dollar Man' of its pendulum-assed strut, while the (let's face it) Shakespeare Sister-esque 'Radio', Born To Die's most bewitching track, loses its hip hop beat and fatalistic synths. And with just the ivories as accompaniment, 'Video Games' is suddenly upon us and suddenly over. It's a non-starter when it should have been a blockbuster. There's no peaks, no downs, no arc here; no signposts and markers to orientate the crowd around the set; just a listless and twitching plateau.

And then there's Lizzie herself. Reaching out from behind dramamine eyes is a frail, dazed and, yes, industry-coerced person, entirely ill-suited to the world of corporatised entertainment, with its expensive sets and Howitzer-like TV cameras; with people everywhere, sitting around the floor, swarming the sound desk and leaning from between rigging, or else watching live from home on the Tunes livecast. She creeps on stage, as if there's a chance we won't notice.  So that she can feel comfortable in herself, you sense, she's dressed down in a white sweatshirt and blue jeans, with long curly black hair everywhere. She looks like my sister's mates did in 1992: mooching and insecure, listening to 'Under The Bridge' on repeat and wishing they were Julia Roberts in Dying Young. She moves poorly around the stage, awkward with tension, from one predetermined stage position to the next, and holds her mic close to her chest and under her lowered chin, like a 12-year-old. She switches hands on her mic stand several times in the space of seconds, and occasionally hunches over it, grappling for support. She puts one hand in a hip pocket, removes it, and mutters unintelligible stage patter between mic sounds of snuffled, breathy tittering. The front rows scream regardless, but she's lost the outlying crowds already. Throughout the second half of 'Video Games' she climbs carefully up to the crowd and, unsure of what to do next, stands there like a marionette, making twinkly stars out of her hands as girls paw at her hair. She's s******ing awkwardly again, through the chorus now, as she poses for camera phones - brow to brow with sweaty teenagers, still singing, always smiling. This is the real Lana Del Rey, how I remember her, and the person who Lizzie Grant is as yet unable to relight in pop angles - to make transform. She is struggling, dark-headed, always smiling.

Lana has a good chance here in Germany though
Taylor is not really popular here and OD isn't that big either

I also read the review. He says some things, but ultimately they are true. I agreed about the songs being completely stripped down and not having the drums, etc.

I think the reviewer tries too hard to sound smart, and ultimately puts out something quite unintelligible. I agree however about her flawed live performances. I responded however as I felt that he was unfairly bringing up the old accusations about her being manufactured by others, which is total nonsense.

Agree. And he should've got over "label creation" nonsense long time ago, it's a pure ********, and that was established months and months ago.
