** I really like this whole album, well which is why it made my list :P. haha. BoA did such a good job here, her English sounds good, her dance moves are great, and her voice is sounding really strong here --- I find that some artists when they sing in other languages they can't seem to maintain the same sort of the strength throughout, but BoA certainly doesn't seem to have trouble doing it. I've bolded my top faves from this album, though, I think all the tracks are great and fun!

**alan is probably one of my all time favorite female singers, her voice is lovely and as she is from Sichuan, of Tibetan ancestry she also sings using what's called the Tibetan wail (very high pitched singing) most notable on her first single. I was enchanted the minute I heard it, I think unfortunately now the songs she is singing are not quite right for her voice. And she does not seem to use her wailing as often. But this album was great and the songs were well chosen.

**I think this album gets a lot of crap thrown at it, and as far as I'm concerned it doesn't deserve it. So the sound is different, so it's not their indies work, deal with it, it wasn't written to please you. As far as I'm concerned the albums these peeps put out reflect themselves and if you can't deal with it don't listen. And on another side note, I love this album, and I love their new one "SEVEN" too, so yeah!
