^^That video was the bane of my existence 2 years ago when I first got into these girls and was deciphering whether they were all the same person or not. I remember getting pissed off at After School, my introduction into all things Korean. Had they not prepared me with their group numbers, I would not have lasted with Girls' Generation. Seems like it took me forever to rearrange these chicks into comprehensible order.

As for their Album. I thought "Express 999" was something different, retro and special when I first heard it. The magic faded away after the 3rd listen. It's still okay and unique but it's not as mysterious anymore.

I LOVE "Talk Talk" so much more than "Boom Boom". It's like it was mixed better, they utilized their voices better. They played around and didn't just do it to check it off the list of songs needed to be done like "Boom Boom" feels. And the way "Boom Boom" was revealed was just so sloppy and a disappointment, and that has always affected how I have perceived the song.

I need to listen to "XYZ" more. And pay more attention when I'm listening to it to really decide whether I like it or not. Same goes for "Look AT Me".

As for the rest. Lay it to waste.

And as for "Dancing Queen". I only listened to that once when the video was released and that was enough. I already know it is trash. Refuse to even look at the live performances.

Question. After looking at the video with SOME of the backtracking vocals smoothed out of the live performance, I wonder if they are all linked to the same sound output in their ears and can hear each other...........BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE MAD EMBARRASSING. Lulz.
