Third Album

I'm not a big fan of the Korean custom of naming albums only by numbers. Isn't coming up with the title the best part of the album-creation process? Oh well. I bought this CD because I thought it would contain Triple. Well, it did, but the Triple it has isn't the song I had learnt to know by the name. However, I'm not completely disappointed with this even though it's not very good overall.

#1 Crazy Love 9½

This is good. Not spectacular but good anyway. This could make a good dance song for a beginners' course.

#2 Miro 6

The instrumental in this reminds me of Spice Girls' Mama. In other ways as well this is very reminiscent of SG.

#3 Cure 5

Not much better than the previous one, worse, in fact.

#4 Triple 9½

Very different from the non-Triple Triple I used to know but not much worse. Very Korean.

#5 Sok 7

Very BoAesque, this one. Not very bad either.

#6 Tongkam 8

One of the best tracks on the album, which is not saying much.

#7 One and One 8½

This is better than I remembered. Lots of rap.

#8 It's Love 6

Completely characterless. I can't understand that this kind of things are here and the much better "fillers" piled at the end.

#9 Nôryl Ponêmjô 8½

Is this the headache song? No, maybe not but at least it's the "Never say puppy love" one. I've got to read the lyrics for this, they sound quite interesting. From what I hear, the chorus begins: "To make it so / To make it sell love you more / I wanna sell love you sarang".

#10 Juhok 7

Wonder how many songs called Juhok there are... Probably just as many as there are Jêkams, Jaksoks, Anjas and the likes. Quite oriental and reminding of something classic western at points. Oh, it's Modern Talking's Cheri Cheri Lady!

#11 Sykhêntyl 8½

And finally we get to the strange ending of this album. There are three traditional dance pieces tucked up here for no apparent reason. From my point of view, they considerably improve the overall rating of the album, at least. And this, then, is a copy of E-Type's Angels Crying. None of these three would stand out on any Koyote album, which is mostly a good thing for them.

#12 Be Alright 8½

To this apply all the general comments for the previous one. This might even be better than it. Why didn't they make a whole album of this stuff? It would've been a lot better.

#13 Sirjôn 8½

This even has a title in common with a track of Koyote's. And a lot of other things as well.
