The Official t.A.T.u Thread

[spookshow]

*sigh* sadly I've got to agree... I expected more... but I feared we'd get something like this. It's still a good album, but I expected more from t.A.T.u.

The shop sent out my order today!

In other news, I was going to wait until I had the CD in my hands to listen to the songs, but in the end I couldn't resist and spoiled myself with the leak. I'm very pleased that my prediction that this would be their best album came true (at least for me). Their style has gone even further into the dark synthpop territory they explored on "Lyudi Invalidy," and that makes me very happy! They actually sound a lot like Ladytron on a few tracks, and the interlude in the middle reminds me of the instrumental tracks on Depeche Mode albums. My only complaint is that it's only about 40 minutes long, but I guess I'd much rather have quality over quantity.

Unfortunately, as much as I want to, I'm not allowing myself to listen to the album again until my copy arrives. I feel a little bad for ruining the surprise, and I want to make sure that the day it comes stays special.

i love the album soo much~
its just that, compare to the wait..it's really not a big surprise~
but..it is still very good...

i mean the "verse-chorus-verse-chorus-END-next song", i just feel that it is the typical tatu songs and it happens a lot of time in their songs...imo

I actually really enjoyed the album. the songs do seem short sometimes but thats not so bad. The synthpop sound they went for is awesome, cause that's the kind of music I try and make. I absolutely LOVE "Fly On The Wall". It's an amazing song with an awesome hook. Overall the album is fantastic.

I'm not going to DL it, I'm just going to wait until my copy arrives

[p3ayu]

My copy finally shipped out. Now I'm just waiting for that and my copy of Lady Gaga's The Fame to come

[PoetGirl]

its an amazing album, i love every track on it

[MemorialAddress]

My signed copy of Happy Smiles FINALLY arrived today!
I'm so happy

My mother was like "Why did you order something from Russia???"

[milky_way]

Mine came in early November. I was surprised it didn't take long especially since I read that it might take a couple of months. I wonder why it's different for a lot of people

[MemorialAddress]

Oh wow, that's weird.
Mine took FOREVER!
It was worth the wait though
You're lucky you got yours so soon lol

Nothing much really going at all professionally with t.A.T.u. The girls did a small question and answer thing around December 2008 where they were asked info on the release date of the album and they said that they weren't sure and weren't going to say anything so that they don't go through that hell they did with the Russian album's release date. But Yulia does have a new face!

[Fitst]

NO!!!! She looks so bad. lol. It looks like she just had the work done when that picture was taken, and it was just her cheeks and lips (which will go down), but still, WTF?

Atleast they won a VMA for best video (220).

[bernardation]

oh......
is that really her??

[spookshow]

Yulia's lips sure look puffy... but i'm hoping the rest is just poor lighting/angles/makeup that is making the rest of her face look a tad wrong.

There's lots of pics from that premiere though where she looks basically like that. She's definitely been doing her lips, she admitted that... but a lot of people are screaming botox due to her face being a bit stiff and immobile. I'm not so sure about that, but her face does look a bit odd when she smiles now.

I just find it a bit sad that she feels to need to work with her face so much at the age of 23.

[bernardation]

lena is looking GREAT in this second picture.
yulia's face in comparison is embarrassing... she's looking 20 years older, how ironic

[JaysenRyan]

OMG she used to be SOOO beautiful, she's ruined herself! WTF is wrong with her??
