T-ara's New Album "And & End": I Wasted A Good Worry

My T-ara "And & End" Album and Poster arrives!!!

 Though it may not look like it with all the new releases I’ve been getting I’ve actually been trying to cut back on my K-pop purchases ever since that Hyosung fiasco with KpopMart. I had such a headache with it that I vowed that unless I really wanted it, I was going to hold off buying any more K-pop stuff “just because”. So when the new T-ara album was announced, I initially decided to wait for awhile…that is, until I HEARD the song! The girls new single “Sugar-Free” was such a Club-Thumping burner, I HAD to have it, and not only ordered the album “And & End”, but the bonus poster besides!
  After I made my purchase order, two days later, forums began uploading images of what appeared to be the cover of the album, and I was taken back because what I saw had to be the most boring freaking K-pop Album Cover of ALL TIME:

  I was to later learn that it was paying homage (or outright ripping-off, depending on whose blog you read) of some Electronic Dance Music artist,(and perhaps in THAT category the minimalistic cover fits), but SERIOUSLY? 6 beautiful girls in T-ara and THIS was the cover? And GADS, I’d even ordered a POSTER of this? I prayed, “PLEASE don’t let THIS be the COVER!”
  My only glimmer of hope was the fact that some forums referred to the cover as the “Dance Edit” single, and in fact, it even said EDM on the cover. Not only that, the album title “And & End” was nowhere to be found on the cover. I know that the cover SAID "Dance Version", but K-pop covers regularly use nonsensical english "catch phrases"to jazz up the design, so it was of little reassurance. I could only cross my fingers and wait.
   Well, today my package FINALLY came in, and as you can see by the top picture, both the album AND the poster were as beautiful as befitting a T-ARA release!

Jumping Jesus HALLELUJAH, was I RELIEVED! I Guess that original cover WAS an EDM version only, because THIS beautiful cover features those pretty T-ara girls in all their Gorgeous Glory! WHEW!
