Album Review - 林宥嘉's 神秘嘉宾 - Part 2

This is the girl in the 神秘嘉宾 MV i was talking abt. isn't she so pretty?? i loved her dress in the MV, but looking at this photo, i realised it is actually not a dress, but a top and a long skirt.

i forced myself not to listen to the album for a day and then listen to it track by track again on the 3rd day of my purchase. i thot this wud allow me to be more sensitive to the sound, and of cuz, be less biased.

but like not working leh. haha. the more i listen the more i like! it has the same kind of effect as Tanya's albums.. it wears on you.. 让你陶醉在当中.. 真不愧是迷幻宥嘉!

on second listen, i liked the track 慢一点, it's very coldplay, brit alternative type.. the kind i kno i wud love cruising to in a long car ride..

心有林夕 is more of the melancholic type of tune.. actually reminded me a bit of eason's style.. nothing dramatic abt the track but still pleasant to listen to.. not the kind that wud make u wanna jump to the next track.

爱情是圆的 is a weird track. i dunno how to talk abt it cuz it is just so out of place in the album. it sounds like something harlem yu wud sing. the 随性 type. if there was an experimental track in every album, this wud b it. it's like as if they are throwing this one in just to make him look like he's very versatile in his song genres. ok, i do think he is. but perhaps i have nv heard him attempt such a number before so i am not very used to it. or maybe i prefer the alternative side of 宥嘉. :)

the last track on the album, 再别康桥.. probably has the least dramatic effect on me. (yea, that means it's boring.) but must say his high notes are perfect on this one.. and also is a good track for those acoustic performances. :)

so there, i have completed my review of 林宥嘉's 神秘嘉宾 album! i give it 4.5 stars out of 5!!!

now i can go back to my old listening habits of repeating the songs i like on the album, er.. repeatedly. :p

i'm gg to listen to 伯樂 100 times now. :))))
