I feel that only the first 3 tracks are worth listening. The rest are just listen-and-forget tunes. Track 4 is especially awful. Where is the Jay Chou I know?
I feel that the last 2 albums (November Chopin and Still Fantasy) are still good, with lots of memorable and pleasing tracks with only a 1 or 2 forgettable songs. But now - the cover says it all - he's damn busy (wo hen mang) and has no time to compose proper songs. Most of the tracks are too similar and the tunes suck - they make no lasting impression.
Jay Chou is descending into the depths of singers like ... ... I don't want to name them. But David Tao and Lee Hom have gotten real bad, especially the former. JJ Lin is the only one with the highest standards. I seriously hope he improves in his next album. For me, this is Jay Chou's first awful album.
But if you want to know the really good songs, I must say Niu Ren Hen Mang (1st track) is the best song, followed by Cai Hong (2nd track). Yes, I am a fan of Jay Chou and I AM DAMN D.ISAPPOINTED BY HIM! THE BIG EXCUSE IS THE NAME OF HIS ALBUM - Wo Hen Mang. How ridiculous! Busy doesn't equal no quality.
Anyway, non pre-orders were also given the free calender. I never pre-order things, and this is no exception, and I still got the calender.
Jay Chou - if you're reading this, please concentrate more on the music than on your filming. PLEASE!
In my opinion JJ Lin cannot be compared to the likes of Jay Chou, David Tao and Alexander Wang. JJ Lin's latest album is much more worse than Jay's attempt. At least in Wo Hen Mang, there's still some sincerity there in songs like Qing Hua, but for JJ Lin, he sounds like he's producing an album for the sake of it. There's no passion in it at all.
David Tao's Beautiful was aweful, that I agree. But Wang Lee Hom's the one who has been in the industry for like 10 years and he's the one who's become more and more serious, though I cringed at his 'chink-out' music.
November's Chopin and Still Fantasy was bad bad bad. Hei Se Mao Yi, Feng, Shan Hu Hai were so plain and generic, while Tui Hou, Xin Yu, and Bai Se Feng Che are so interchangeable. His last good album was only Qi Li Xiang, and if I may, this is the album that he should have only released for the past 3 years:
01 Ye Qu
02 Piao Yi
03 Lang Man Shou Ji
04 Niu Zai Hen Mang
05 Yang Guang Zai Nan
06 Qing Hua Ci
07 Yi Lu Xiang Bei
08 Mi Die Xiang
09 Ju Hua Tai
10 Bu Neng Shuo De Mi Mi
