Today I just get a hold of a copy of Jay Chou’s newest album, Capricorn. It has eleven tracks and a very “unusual” cover. Maybe it’s influenced by his recently magic lesson.
Surprisingly the first track (魔杰座) is quite normal compared to 2 previous albums and I like it a lot. On track three (東方之殿), egyptian like rap song really don’t suite my taste.
東方之殿 is the third track. Not a song that can be enjoyed for me.
Despite of the fourth track position, 紅樓夢中 is a very nice love song like other Jay Chou’s hit.
Track five, “失戀的青蛙” is the icon of the album. Started with dialog and opened with a cowboy style like previous album. The song is an uptempo and have an ambient like a high school performance style with clapping sound. Unique and entertaining.
The best song is track number 6 (失落非主流), really touchy and shiver me when I first hear it.
從新愛, track 7, started with an Er Hu as opening and flowing as background accompaniment with some rap at the interlude. Great song, very suitable for a kung-fu themed movie.
Harmonica dominate the start of track 8 (大灌藍), a duet song. “Bad boy” style. Not very good, just acceptable.
Track 9, 達芬奇的畫布, a med tempo lovely song. Like it.
小丑, track 10, a rap style song with joker’s laugh at the background. Pretty plain and boring.
The last but not the least, 稻香 (Fragrant Rice). It suppose to be the icon of the album. Just OK lah for this track.
Personally, after reviewing these song, 4 out of 5 for this album. Guess If you are a Jay Chou’s fan, you’ll get the album despite of my review.
