Jordan always looks confused in these pictures. It's as if he stumbled into the wrong photo shoot or something.

Yeah, I'm definitely noticing a certain weight loss on JP's part. Maybe he atomized the last gym on Earth with his power and hasn't worked out ever since  ???

Has anyone realized there's an arm on the left upper corner?
How on earth did they miss that?  :rollin

I don't get why [rock] bands never smile in photos.

Or when they scowl as if they hate life or even flip the middle fingers.

It just looks so fake and forced and lame.

Depends on what fits the band. A lot of band photos would just look stupid if they were grinning. A promo image should fit the image of the band, there's no one choice that fits every band from every genre.

In the case of DT, it does look forced, because we know they're light hearted fun guys. I'd love to see a promo photo where they're looking happy and informal, because they don't suit the neutral look. In the case of many other bands, a photo like that would be perfectly fine.

I preferred the band shot that was released at the same time as the album cover. I really felt there was no arm in it  :biggrin:

Anyway - i don't expect bands to be like "  :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: : in photos - just doing that " not smiling or frowning " look where it's just a relaxed face  :azn: < like this :P

Family photos kinda neutral. Just that " i'm not smiling or frowning - lets just get this over with " :lol

I can't imagine that being the real promo pic. There's no way they would have missed that arm.

I don't think I'll ever understand the whole image thing. I could totally wear all black when playing funk or something crazy colorful when playing metal, with or without a smile. Not that I smile much, but that has little to do with genres or image. I dig Henrik Linder from Dirty Loops, he looks kinda punk-ish but is smiling a lot and is playing funky fusion-pop. Totally wrong to most people, but I think that's just right. I don't like all these boxes that you should fit into if you do this or that. I'm all for personal choice and style, dress codes and other unwritten rules seem so illogical and unreasonable to my brain.

At least it's just an arm... I would be more concerned if there was the killing hand.

No the details on the songs themselves haven't been officially revealed, so we can only speculate. But I'm sure there's at least one.
