Extra: I finally decided to take a photoset of the contents
here.
Now, I am NOT a hardcore fangirl of Big Bang so don't be uber offended by anything I say.
Little background. At Fanime 2011, Jpop vs Kpop Battle Royale panel, there was a Lucifer dance off between me and some other guy. I won (and looked stupid) and got a Big Bang special edition album. To be honest, the album wasn't that "special" to me, but the glory of winning and the potential that I may gain some attention was tempting. Now, don't get me wrong-- I personally REALLY loved the song, music video, and live performance of Big Bang's "Love Song". The live dance wasn't amazing, but their ninja dancing was eeepic. And the vocals were AWESOME.
Now the actual review.
I listened to ONLY the CD in my CD player. I did NOT look at English translations and did NOT bother with looking up who sang which parts or figuring out what the song meant. I ONLY focused on what I could hear out of my CD player.
Songs-
"Love Song": as I've said, this is a glorious, glorious kpop song. wonderful music. great even without the music video.
"Stupid Liar": hate to say it, and hate to use a lame pun, but this song was not only titled "stupid", it also sounded "stupid". the chorus was nasally and and every time they sang "stupid", it was accented(?) in a which that seemed retarded.
"Tonight": another beautiful song. (the music video for this one also happened to be shown at the jpop vs kpop panel) however, the chorus had too much autotune. and this sounds weird since i'm not a hardcore big bang fan... but TOP's voice was... interestingly distinct, very smooth, nice, and... seductive...
