This is Koyote's most forgotten album. By me, that is. Nowadays, however, I already remember that this is always better than I expect.

#1 Party Party 7

... but this isn't. I might be forgiving this time and award the third star but no more. This could well be Koyote's worst upbeat track. Def.not the way to begin an album.

#2 Touch Me 9

It's Modern Talking time! I remember this being one of the first songs I ever heard from Koyote, along with Sirjôn and Pharan.

#3 Sirjôn

There seems to be only one five-stars song on this album. Maybe there should be more. This, for example, is a strong candidate. I've found that a 9½ or above in this grading system usually translates into *****.

#4 Mirjôn 10

For a long time I was able to somehow avoid realising how brilliant this is, but thanks to AL, finally I did. Funny how these songs with similar titles are not only adjacent but also the two feature tracks. However, the names do have a different syllabic structure: mi-rjôn vs. sil-jôn.

#5 Ka

Worse of the two Koyote songs called Ka but not bad.

#6 Kkythôpsnyn Sarang

With Koyote it's always the longest titles that belong to ballads.

#7 Jêssarang

Two in a row? Please no. Help!

#8 Patayi Phume

This has recently become a small hit. Or has it? No, it hasn't, it was a different one. But it might.

#9 Cinema 9

I gladly receive two happy songs as reparations for the two ballads. That brings this album's total up to three, which might be more than on the others?

#10 Juhok

Juhoks apparently aren't as pathetic as Jaksoks, as this one is quite decent.

#11 Hêzin I Kôri 7

And the third and final ballad. Almost beautiful.

#12 Party Party (Instrumental)

Why on Earth an instrumental of this and not of (S|M)irjôn?
