Peace

Yee-haw! I'm back in the reviewing business, only after a - let's see... almost two years' break. Well, better etc. The reason I picked this to resume with was that I promised to review potential Korean CDs and this, according to my recollection, should be one of LJH's overall best works.

#1 Intro-Message I

A lot less significant than her other introes.

#2 Phjônghwa 8

Welcome to Michael Jackson. I must've heard this enough to begin liking it, even though the best thing still is that this was her first chance to demonstrate her ability to change, as it was something completely different from the first album.

#3 Feel Me! 7½

In my memories, LJH's albums have long been vague wholenesses, but now that I'm listening to this in order, I'm already finding a theme, atmosphere.

#4 Nô (Original) 9

And then Wind von Ägypten. I always forget how this version is different as the techno one is much more famous, even though they aren't so different after all.

#5 Zullê 7½

I think I've even grown to like the crazy Barbie song.

#6 Tta 6½

More atmospheric themes. Too sleepy, though. Fortunately Kkum is coming up.

#7 Kkum 9½

Oh, this is so good. Already the beginning is so uplifting. I can't help but wonder how different indeed this album is from the first one. And from the other three as well. Seeing the whole picture of Lee Jung Hyun is not as easy as it might seem.

#8 Zalmôkko Zal Sarara 8

Speaking of which... This is so mad it can't be anything but good. But to grade this, hmm...

#9 Anja 8½

I didn't remember this at all, but that's inevitable at some point. Quite good, in fact.

#10 Kkythnassô 9

This is another forgotten one. And a good one, too? Oh yes. The tracks 9-11 remind the most of the first album, as well as already hint towards the fourth one.

#11 Tozôn 9

I keep forgetting which album this is on, even though I remember the track itself. Hopefully from now on, I won't.

#12 Piô 6½

Dragging. But a good example of the dangers of American romanisation. "Pee Uh", nuff said.

#13 Love Is a Secret 7

I can't anymore hear this without remembering i's idea of an anime music video for this song. Oh oh, the anemic rap! It itself is worth a whole extra grade, even though they mispronounce her name.

#14 Nô (Techno Version) 9

Yes, this is the better version.

#15 Outro-Message II

More scifi themes.
