So many outfits they pulled there, the there are no excuses to say they all look the same statement has never been so relevant.

Excellent.

I like the Engrish version more than the Korean.

You can preview the rest of the album on Melon. I like 'Top Secret', 'Lazy Girl', and the Vita500 song lol

Yeah I'm warming to the Engrish version too.

They all look so good as well ^_^

Especially Hyoyeon, of course, goes without saying.

THIS.

Sunny's bizarre baby/american accent doesn't help.

I'm not particularly fond of the "Tell all your friend's because we get it in" either lol

Song is undeniable. Album is all over the place like their previous KR albums, so I'll stick with the JP as representative of the year.

There's the boys and there's the rest. No other song in the album sounds remotely similar. It almost seems out of place...
Only the boys comes close to The Great Escape.

Pretty much expected considering their track record. Hell, they usually can't even manage to give the girls a whole mini album of good songs let alone a full length. Let down still though tbh, considering how hyped this was.

Secret's album is better quality all around than this - at least it's more coherent.

There are some good tracks on the album. Trick could've fit in on the JP one, Telepathy is catchy, Sunflower is a good ballad, Oscar is fairly typical Kenzie - but yes - it lacks stylistic coherency, opposite of the JP one in that regard. Predictable but also hard to understand why they keep doing that. As I said the western maxi-single will probably be better.


... and back to single.

Not bad. I need to listen to it a few more times to see if I actually like it. But damn, errbody looking ridiculously good in the MV.

What is the GG thing people keep referring to?

e.via review via twitter: 'Soshi's new track is cool. The rapping is good but don't do it so fast - I have to make a living as well'

I thin everything except the part that was in the teaser and the part that bridges to the ending is alright. But the teaser and other thing though is terrible still.

When I heard GG I was like LOL nerd reference? Then I realized it just stood for Girls Generation :lol

Korean version: The chorus needs to not suck, the rest is good enough.

English version: TROLOLO FAIL.

Don't really like the choreo which emphasizes their lankiness from obscene dieting. Obviously because of this, short Sunny is the only one who survives. It's impossible for me to see them as fierce.

They've been fierce from the first single, cute was just a misguided misstep.

[[ 'My J' is indeed shit-.. whoever Hwang Sungje is needs to be fired.

From the album? No way... The Boys is easily the most solid track on there from what I've listened to so far.

Actually only two of them. Telepathy and Trick. Telepathy sounds like a song straight out of DJ Max :lol

I can't believe this is the song that they're using to "launch" them worldwide. It's really dated.

It sounds like a mix between a Britney and Gwen song from 05.

Can anyone please tell me what song i'm hearing during the first 15 second or so? I've listened to it maybe 10 times now and can't figure it out. The part they sing before the 'bring the boys out' line(bridge?) is also familiar. This is going to drive me crazy every time i listen to this song now.

Top Secret will become Hyolovers favorite song, she has a solo/rap in it which ruins the song for me. *insert netizenVelma pic*

Tiffany's credited on the English version of The Boys, which explains the somewhat less refined lyrics than in the Korean one lol

Listened to Top Secret and Telepathy (or 'Telepassy', as it's pronounced)

Shit.

Japanese album was better than this.

Not a big fan of the song but it is growing on me as others have said. They all look stunning in the mv though.

I had to play it back a couple of times to make sure I heard it right.

Telepathy and Trick are definitely the better songs of the album.

So who's going to do worst in the US: SNSD or Wonder Girls? :lol
