01. 주문(MIROTIC)
This song sounded weird to me when I first heard it on YouTube. Nevertheless… I still danced to it :P After hearing the actual track on mp3, I realized the beat was so different. Wonder why =.= I would’ve interpreted the song differently in the dance had I heard this version first. The main thing about this song is that it grows on you. First listen… hmmm… 2nd listen… still hmm… 3rd listen… mmm hmmm… 4th listen… oooh… 5th listen… I’m hooked.
02. Wrong Number
This song is heavy. I caught a few words singing about nagging and the woman being bothersome. So basically they don’t want a this nagging woman to call anymore ^_^ The singing is okay in this song.
03. 노을...바라보다 (Picture of You)
This is their specialty… the soft lilting melody of a traditional ballad. Sadly… their harmonization don’t give a fresh take to the song. It sounds like every ballad they’ve ever sung. Don’t get me wrong… it’s a nice song… but it leaves me wanting to hear something different… other than their usual staple of traditional or R&B-ish ballads.
04. CRAZY LOVE
Oooh… this song I am crazy about. Mostly cos Electronic is in these days, and I love Electronic. The song is light and fluffy… makes you feel high and ready to dance. So you’d have guessed… I danced to this one :P It’s a bit old school and disco-ish. I can listen to it all day. Puts me in a good mood.
05. HEY!(Don't bring me down)
This song means business. Starts off with beat box sounds (wonder if they did it themselves). It’s a rockin’ song… good for power walking. Hehe! But at the same times… makes you wanna krump to it too… kekeke! Don’t be surprised if I decide to dance this one too :P
06. 넌 나의 노래
This I can translate the title… ‘You’re my song (or melody)’. Also cos they keep singing this line in the song. Another slow song… but this isn’t like the earlier. Sounds like an English song I know… can’t put my finger on it. This one might make it onto an OST for some serial drama.
07. 무지개 (Rainbow)
Hmm… starts of with an old school beat, very 80s. I actually like this one. Very danceable too. It’s light and sweet too, but not as good as Crazy Love :)
08. 낙원 (Paradise)
I hear the sitar playing. I just realized there are so many American R&B inspired tunes here. I could totally see this song in an R Kelly album. Are they straying too far from their Korean roots?
09. 악녀(Are You a Good Girl?)
I am guessing this is naughty song; another dance track. And I think the title in Korean looks more like ‘devil girl’ or ‘bad girl’ to me… hehe! My Korean is still crappy… I could be wrong. Doesn’t stir much in me, this song…
10. Flower Lady
Lalala… another sweet ballad… the title is odd. I call songs like that ‘album fillers’.
11. 잊혀진계절
This is supposed to be a special track in Version A of the album. Another traditional Korean ballad. I just found out that it means 'Forgotten Season', courtesy of Wikipedia. A Jae Joong solo... It sounds like gospel music to me =.= Sorry Jae... But it's a remake of a classic... so... :P
12. love in the Ice
This is the Korean version of one of their Japanese singles. Yes… it’s a ballad. I used to like this song… but you’ll grow tired of it. Then again… Jae Joong and Jun Su’s voices were very prominent here… so that’s one reason for me to love it.
Now that I have went through every single song… I can actually count the number of songs I actually like. About 6-7… which makes it half the album. I guess this is what always happens when you buy an album. You may only like 2 out of the 10-14 songs. You can really tell which song makes an impression on me from the length and description I can provide in it, eh? ^_^
The new album’s concept is really to show that they’ve become MEN. Hence the sexy lyrics & tunes and sexified new image (utilizing lots of chest exposure). The dancing is still the same style for me. And yes, I am biased… but I do think Yoo Chun totally missed the boat when it came to the new look. Can’t blame him though. It’s his stylists’ fault. What’s up with the hair??? It’s so unbecoming…
As usual… Jae’s hair is the best. He totally personifies the concept of the new album. Though I'm still hankering for him to put on a bit more weight so that his muscles will look more defined *drools* I’m gonna get his haircut ASAP. It kinda reminds me of my old hair. Let’s see what my stylist says. I’m beginning to get bored of my current cut… makes me look matured. I wanna be edged out… not just cos I adore Jae’s hair… I think watching ANTM is brainwashing me again. Hehe!
Please buy the album if you care about them. Proceeds will go to feeding them more rice and kimch'i so that they'll put on more weight... T_T
Btw... here's a vid of their live performance of MIROTIC...

i agree with u on Yoo Chun's.. erm, hairstyle, it's so not practical. then again he's a celeb, he'll hv all the hair n make up ppl following him around everywhere. jz cannot imagine wat he would look like at the end of the day when all those ppl leave n he goes to bed.
Jae's hair looks.. okay only actually. i thk it's pretty simple to keep, but the side sweep is a bit heavy, don't u thk? it makes u tilt ur head all the time.. n don't forget it's easier to get zits from those styles.. jz my 2 cents.. =)
I've always had hair like that... so the zit thing... so over that :P
Yea... a bit heavy... but I think I used to have hair like that anyway... just that his is shorter at the back. It's not phenomenal... but it makes it look hot... *drools*
I miss my old short hair... this one makes me look matured (I just realised)... so... :D snip snip...
