Dance With Hyun Jung

This might well be the best album ever published. In less than an hour, we'll know the truth. The current top of the list (excluding compilations) consists of three Da Buzz albums and KHJ's own Fun Town 20. Although it must be admitted that she's cheated a bit by including a bunch of old tracks as well... :O Quotes, where appropriate, from the source albums.

#1 Reverse

Most introes are useless but this is fun, "You want some more? / I want some hoes!" :D

#2 Tô Zalhêpwa 10

And the biggest hit right in the beginning. The background is a bit thin but still this goes among her best works like Tankhal, Kkythiramjôn and Aphajo.

#3 Kutseôra Hjônzônga 9½

She hasn't done any exceptional happy songs since the Diet album and Nappynsarang. In that category, this is definitely one of her best.

#4 Paro Kynjô (Nanta Version) 9

If I decided to award this and its other version another ½, it'd raise this album's number of five-star tracks to nine, which would be overwhelming. But even without that, seven remains a record. The Korean Tourism Office informs me that "Nanta is a non-verbal performance of reckless rhythms that dramatize customary Korean percussion in a strikingly comedic stage show." It also apparently has a connection to samulnori, which teacher Kim described as "just some noise". Just how this version relates to that remains unclear.

#5 Sangsanghêpwa 9½

More great raps in this upbeat song, including "It's a fucking sunny day / You know what I'm saying?"

#6 Khisyryl Homzhjôpomjô 10

This has come right out of the blue to become my second favourite, having initially been overshadowed by the likes of #3, #5 and #8. Probably the most traditional track on the album.

#7 Ipjôryl Pêwo 8

The first non-playlist track.

#8 Thyzip 9½

KHJ at what she's best known for.

#9 7njônkanyi Sarang 9½

And here begins the recycling. This comes from Fun Town 20, as well as #11 and #12, #10 from Hit for 6ix and #13 from her debut Kynjôwayi Ipjôl. "This should be the third best track, let's see if it is. Oh yes."

#10 Mos 10

Good choice. But why not Ôzzômjôn as well? It would've been brilliant here. "A very good way to begin an album, just like Line on Koyote's 6th. In fact, I didn't remeber I liked this this much, wow."

#11 Only You 8½

"'Baby, my lop, so sweet!' What else can I say than 'so sweet'? :]
Cheerful song, though less dancey."

#12 Pônnwë 8

But why this? It was a feature track on the previous album and all. Not to say how much better Aphajo would've been... "So this was the Russian song. Couldn't really tell it apart from the Korean and Japanese ones..."

#13 Zinsilkwa Thekynik 9

This is the most interesting choice. "An old favourite that somehow makes me think of football. Also famous for the confusion with track #3's title."

#14 Paro Kynjô (Folk Version) 9

I really can't tell where's the folk element in this. First it seems there's no beat at all, just some guitaring, but somewhere halfway through it then begins and goes on until the end. I don't even know which version I like better. Maybe the first one.

#15 Tô Zalhêpwa (Underground Mix) 6

Totally horrible remix. Why do they have to 1) do something like this in the first place and 2) put it onto an album?
