Its a review of Jay's album by Next Mag.......

Get a copy if you want (7th Aug issue)

全 男 班 競 技

All Male Contest

同 一 時 間 , 四 位 公 認 有 實 力 的 男 歌 手 , 同 期 出 新 碟 。
終 於 , 可 以 唔 使 鬥 邊 位 fans 多 或 件 衫 靚 或 後 生 或 唱 片 盒 巨 型 或 送 禮 物 多 。
真 係 可 以 鬥 鬥 邊 位 唱 得 好 , 邊 隻 唱 片 聽 !

At the same time, 4 male singers released their new albums

Since, they are so talented, and not relying on their looks (like F4?)
there is no need to compete for album cover [thou, i realli love this one :love: ] and how many presents/gifts given away with the album [the "special" edition just had that cardboard stuff]

We can actually critique on who actually sings better..better songs....which one to listen to etc......


穩 守 突 擊   周 杰 倫

Waiting to Strike Jay Chou

轉 了 新 唱 片 公 司 的 周 杰 倫 , 依 然 是 周 杰 倫 。

Although having changed companies, Jay is still Jay [of course...still diao :yeah: as ever]

新 唱 片 《 葉 惠 美 》 起 用 了 老 媽 子 真 名 做 碟 名 , 簡 單 地 強 化 孝 順 乖 仔 形 象 。 計 歌 曲 , 十 一 首 新 歌 全 部 自 己 創 作 , 算 是 能 夠 在 成 功 的 方 程 式 上 繼 續 運 作 , 希 望 先 保 持 不 敗 , 再 說 求 突 破 。

New album "Ye Hui Mei" uses the Jay's mum name.......easily, strengthening Jay's "good boy image" [thou, everybody already knows he loves his mom eg. Volvo incident]

Counting songs, there are 11 brand new songs, all composed by Jay.....which will successfully remain the same and maybe achieve new heights


主 打 歌 《 以 父 之 名 》 電 影 感 一 流 , 一 路 聽 , 腦 海 一 直 有 畫 面 。 《 懦 夫 》 的 女 聲 是 跟 蔡 依 琳 的 《 布 拉 格 廣 場 》 互 相 輝 映 ?

The 1st single "In The Name of The Father" ....has really good movie feel.....when you listen, you can picture an image in your mind....

"Coward/Fool" has a girl's voice similar to Jolin "Square of Prague"

徐 若 瑄 在 上 一 次 的 《 八 度 空 間 》 失 了 , 今 次 操 刀 填 了 一 首 《 愛 情 懸 崖 》 ,


總 覺 得 徐 氏 的 簡 單 易 懂 , 在 周 杰 倫 、 方 文 山 一 系 列 複 雜 歌 詞 中 , 可 以 起 一 個 調 劑 作 用 。

Last time, Vivian in 8D did not write any songs :-x ..this time round has lyricised "Love's Cliff" :thumbsup:.......which is easy but meaningful

Jay and Vincent have again striked a balance.........to create good songs


對 於 普 羅 聽 眾 來 說 , 《 葉 惠 美 》 最 美 中 不 足 的 , 是 缺 少 了 《 黑 色 幽 默 》 、 《 開 不 了 口 》 、 甚 至 《 分 裂 》 般 一 聽 上 心 的 情 歌 。
順 帶 一 提 , 隨 碟 附 送 的 VCD , 十 分 精 彩 。 《 以 父 之 名 》 和 《 雙 刀 》 的 歐 洲 外 景 電 影 化 MV 固 然 掂 , 更 掂 的 , 是 長 到 飛 起 的 Making of , 有 錢 真 係 好 。

But for the ordinary, "Ye Hui Mei" is missing songs like "Black Humour" "Can't Open The Mouth" and even "Split".........songs which go to the heart [yes.......why didn't Jay write songs like those???....I miss them already :cry: ]

Worth a mention is the VCD which came with the CD......is very good as well...

"In The Name of The Father" and "Double Blades" has European influences...and the MVs are definitely more like movies than MVs..........but even better is the "Making of" which is really long.......


《 葉 惠 美 》 **** (four stars) SONY MUSIC


推 介 歌 曲 :

Suggested songs


《 以 父 之 名 》 : 尤 其 看 完 MV 以 後 。

"In The Name of The Father" - especially, after watching the MV

《 三 年 二 班 》 : 繼 續 佩 服 方 文 山 的 想 像 力 。

"Third Year Class Two" - praises to Vincent's imagination

《 東 風 坡 》 : 可 能 是 全 碟 最 佳 K 歌 。

"East Wind Break" - maybe the whole CD best karaoke song

《 梯 田 》 : 第 一 句 歌 詞 — — 「 文 山 啊 , 等 你 寫 完 歌 , 我 都 出 下 一 張 專 輯 。 」 咁 都 得 ?

"Rice Fields" - the first line in the song "Wen Shan.....to wait for you to finish completing my songs, I will have already released my new album" [I think lost of ppl have already commented on this before]

《 雙 刀 》 : 喜 歡 雙 截 棍 、 龍 拳 的 , 一 定 要 聽 。

"Double Blades" - if you like "Nun-Chuks", "Dragon Punch" then it
is a must to listen


The article also reviews Eason's new album........here is a snapshot


時 間 太 少   陳 奕 Ű


05;

Too Little Time Eason Chan


聽 完 《 Live For Today 》 , 我 推 斷 陳 奕 迅 應 該 好 羨 慕 周 杰 倫 。
雖 然 未 致 於 一 年 出 五 張 唱 片 , 但 距 離 去 年 年 底 的 新 曲 加 精 選 和 今 年 年 中 的 國 語 專 輯 , 時 間 還 是 太 短 。 於 是 , 十 一 首 歌 , 感 覺 上 有 些 似 勉 強 拼 湊 而 成 。

After listening to "Live For Today"...... I would think that Eason Chan would be jealous of Jay [of course....... :laughing: ]

Well, at least not releasing 5 albums per year.......but only last year's new songs and classics compilation....the time is too short.........that's why in the 11 songs many seemed forced

《 Live For Today 》 *** (3 stars)


[i]Apparently, HK music stores are "sold out" [mai toun si] of Jay's new album.........because of too much demand

well.....hmmn....so , i suppose we all feel real proud of jay's achievement this time......its like so in demand, so popular. its sold like free copies. anyway, with this kind of sales volume i believe jay will see the encouragement we are all giving him, and hopefully he will always come up with good works, whatever it is, i dont know why, but, jay really seem to be a very influential to me, i dont know whether it is to u all, i listened to his album every day, and just cant go to bed without listening for one last time, and if u all listen carefully, the way he sang love cliff is very filled with emotinal......and with all the 11 songs self composed and out in a year.....and all the dedication he had in his own creations......his album is definitely worth buying.
