I don’t wanna feel Blue anymore...
My diary is seriously turning into a JYJ blog...
So about the album. It's... alright, I guess. There are only 7 songs which is kinda outrageous, but I'm still too lazy to do track-by-track.)
I'm not especially impressed, but I only listened to it for a couple of times and I know it will grow on me just lke it always does. My standards have seriously lowered in the last couple of years. Basically so far all songs are ok except Be The One, I'm not sure I want to like it.
It's kinda strange, but I'm sure the upbeat song that can be heard in all the news broadcasts is not on the album.
Be My Girl is not bad, but how overused can "baby" be? Oh well, I'm sure Junsu's hips at lives can amend it))
One thing I'm not satisfied with is the fact that the arrangemt is too synthetic. I mean, it's ok for average US singers who don't have much voice to boast, but JYJ could do so much better. I wish there was at least one song to properly make use of their voices. Even so it was interesting: maybe it's the language, but I often have a hard time trying to understand who sings this or that line.
The accent is the biggest issue, but frankly it's not as bad as I thought. I quite like all three songs composed by the boys. I can Soar could become a classic. But of course I'm I Love You biased) I really wish there were more solo songs for Yoochun. I love his voice so much and it had so many colours and shades, many of which remain unrevealed.
Overall verdict: nice, but too boy-bandish. I was really hoping for a more mature kind of music.
This seems like the final retribution for bashing Backstreet Boys.
On a side note I will be praying that Seoul District Courts will decide in their favour. I'm tired of even thinking about it all.
