OK now I must admit
The Boys (song) give the exact feeling to me as Sixth Sense (song) did, those were not hook song but it's growing on me so bad right now!

Girls' Generation and Brown Eyed Girls had exceeded typical market hook songs and so far it's a great move indeed pulling something not everyone could do imo

"The Boys" (Korean Ver.) & (English Ver.) - this song had the potential to be an outstanding track but the girls' vocal arrangements ruined the song. The chorus is terrible and the chanting/rap section was unnecessary and discombobulated. The best part of the song is the intro and the bridge.

"Telepathy" and "TRICK" are good standout tracks in my humble opinion.

~Overall in regard to their 2011 releases, I preferred their Japanese debut album over their 3rd Korean comeback album. It's still a solid release nevertheless.

Oh man. "The Boys"...........Oh man........

All I can say is that it lived down to its PV Teaser. Both 1 & 2.

As I suspected. Just a brief intro of gloriousness could-a-would-a-beens and the rest thereafter, trash. TRASH.

The intro is so irrelevant to the rest of the song though. Why did they stick it in there? So that they could use it in the teaser and trick us? It's so arbitrary.

Michael Jackson.......still committing crimes in death.

I like the song, I just feel like it just goes nowhere. Knowing me, I'll start loving it after a few listens, like Gee and Hoot.

The rest of the album is kinda dull, besides Trick, Telepathy, Oscar, and the Korean version of Mr. Taxi.

And also, was I the only one hearing spanking instead of spade king on Trick?

^ Haha I heard spanking too! I had to stop everything and rewind to see if they really did say spanking lol

But this album was disappointing for me X_X The Boys isn't that catchy, but at least they look beautiful in the MV, but that's it...
I prefer the album tracks like TRICK and OSCAR, but such a weak release imo.

Seriously. Oh! was such a let down. Even the title track didn't quite cut it for me. I was very disappointed with that since it was a full and not a mini album.

The Boys is 74 on iTunes! Woohoo! Come on guys, buy a copy and help them out. :-D

^ anything is better than that album tbh
not many people would agree, but I think this album is a LOT stronger than their Japanese one. but I'm always one to prefer albums with a lot of variety.

Don't worry, it's a good album. It's definitely much better than this one.

I'm hearing some throwbacks to their old songs in the new album Just small note sequences here and there that sound like they came from older albums, which is pretty cool <3

I think the dance is pretty strong and the production value is awesome...the song's already grown on me since it was released! Actually, when it leaked I jumped straight onto JPS....a few seconds after it started downloading and we had a small earthquake (3.4) xDD Kind of like the album sending literal shockwaves out hahaha

I think I like the English version of The Boys best and the Japanese version of Mr TAXI over the other versions. It's pretty obvious The Boys was written for the English version - I'm not a huge fan of the covers anymore, although I don't hate any of them. It's on the front page of Australian iTunes too which is really cool to see down here!!
