First of all, i wanna say that m.i.l.k's new song on this took me by surprise, it sounds like they have gotten much better since their last album,They have nailed the english lyrics and everything! which makes me even more anxious to get m.i.l.k 2nd whenever they decide to release it. Of course shinhwa offers the ever so great "Even though were a bunch of pretty boys we can still rock the house" feeling. Thumbs up to shinhwa on this cd. Boa's song on this cd really SHOULD HAVE BEEN on her 2nd album realesed ever so shortly ago. Itz just up to quality with all the other songs on her 2nd album, nothing to drool over but of course good quality. NOW BLACKBEAT!!! WOOO! Ok so get this, for some super odd reason my kpop store never got a copy of blackbeats first album so this was my first time hearing them. I Immeadiately noticed that they sound NOTHING like shinhwa....they sound....JAPANESE!!! or at least the song does thats for sure!! The song rules pretty much 2! Shinvi did great, Cute lil Dana did wonderful, and hee jun did ok. But what gets me is...kangta wont rip away from his friggin jazz club songs!!! Kangta has SO much talent and potential but he wont let go of his jazz club soundin songs! That dissapointed me....probably the only thing that did through the whole amazing cd....did i forget something??....OH YEAH!! S.E.S's song was great also!! Go get the cd now, great, simply great.

BOA vol.2 - No.1

(127)Our Price: US$13.99List: US$18.99Save: US$5.00 (26%)Usually ships within 21 daysRelated promotions:April 21, 2002 Anthony's ReportFirst I want to comend Boa on the whole Japan cross over mission. Now just come over here to the states and your on your way to being a International star! Anyways on with the reiview. There is much improvement here compared to her last album. Her voice is somewhat more smoother. Which enables her to sing those ballad songs us young guys hold so dear to female pop artsit. I didnt really think she could pull it off but she did! She has about 3 ballad songs on here and they are really good actually. The inside booklet features some really nice pictures of Boa. She defenitly has it goin on if ya knoe what i mean. The only thing she REALLY needs to do is catch up on her english. Now i mentioned her ballads were good earlier but her STRONG STRONG!! korean accent eatz up her ballad songs when she tries to sing in english. The same with her other songs. Shes not at fault though. I know she must get really busy and doesnt get time to sit down and master those english pronounciations. I know how hard it is to learn a new language. But her manager and producers should find time to get her a tutor. If she can master that she can be one of the biggest korean pop stars around. Her faster songs are trademark BoA and sound pretty good. This cd is worth buying and you should go ahead and pick up the poster while your at it. The trademark SM Town computer extra pack is of course included with this cd. I'm using the wallpaper right now actually. In Closing this is a great cd and is a nice cd to hold in your kpop collection. YAHTAZE"

April 18, 2002 All because of her.
It's all because of Utada. All because of her i came into asian music. All because of her. I have TREMENDOUS love for Utada. I feel as though she has in much of a way made me the way i am. You can say im obsessed but im dead serious. She's opened all these doors to the way of Diversity. Before i just liked japanese anime and all. Once i heard Utada it just all...i cant explain it. Her music got me into korean music and japanese music. Utada means so much to me. I'm a Huge fan of hers if u havent already seen. Her voice is....uncompared....unsurpassed. Her face is just....There isnt a word. She is so beautiful.Shes just the most beautiful girl ive ever seen in my life.Ever. She's taught me so much. I've been a fan for a while but i've never gotten to express it on yesasia so i am now. I love Utada as i love for life".

Shinhwa vol.5 - Perfect Man
Shinhwa vol.5 - Perfect Man
(77)Our Price: US$13.99List: US$18.99Save: US$5.00 (26%)Related promotions:April 14, 2002 Anthony's ReportSimply Outstanding. This is a Non-skip cd. Which means you will never press the skip button through the whole cd because each song is GREAT. Not good, not nice, but GREAT. Its amazing how min woo, ju jin and hye sung can hold those notes for so long. They couldnt do that last album. Which means there is improvement. I didnt think there was shinhwa could get any better but..i was wrong. DEAD WRONG. You can tell the difference when Andy is here and when he isn't. Last Album you could tell there was a little something missing. Not to say shinhwa 4th was Outstanding either. The main song Perfect Man" is a Great song. The song "Shout" is outstanding. "Free" is great. The thing is. Everything sounds so..so..NEW!! The whole sound of each song sounds so NEW. It feels so up to date as far as Pop music. Shinhwa no doubt sets the standard as far as how a Young male pop group should sound. I was Lucky enough to get the poster of the cd and thats also great to come along with the cd. The original cd is packaged "Fan-style" and is great to look at in your collection. The cd has cool extras of course just like every other SMTOWN cd. Which is another plus. This is a Must have cd. If Shinhwa 6th is gonna be anything like shinhwa 5th than its gonna proably be the best pop group cd ever made!! Now i go back to listening to the cd!! As always "YAHTAZE"!!

Fin.K.L. Vol.4
April 12, 2002 Anthony's Report Part 2Please Disregard that last review of mine. I must have been bummed out that day. This cd doesnt deserve a 3. Entire the cd deserves a 7. Not just beacause the postcards reek of hotness, or beacuse hyo lee is one of the most beautiful girls on earth(besides utada). But because there is actually true quality to be found in this cd. Look into track number 2. Perfect song. Look all thorugh the tracks after 6. Track number 7 is so good. It's one of the most relaxing soothing songs i've ever heard. I apologize to Finkl for doggin out there cd in my first review. Thanx girls your cd is really nice. "NICE" not perfect or great but it's "nice". Yes i would buy it if i didnt already. The group would do so much better if they would stick to middle speed or BALLAD" songs. The whole cd would be so good if they did. Their faster songs just arent fit for the group. Their voices are cute and soft. Not meant to be used for fast songs. Instead relax and serenade us with those voices slowly. Thats what needs to be done. All they need is better material to work with. If only i was their producer.haha. Ok anyways this is a cool cd in closing and i say you go buy it^_^

April 8, 2002 Nuh Uh, Sorry kangta
Yup its me again. Anyways I had NO doubt what so ever this cd would just rule after seeing all those tens you guys gave the cd. But when i listened to it 2 times over i only liked like 1 song. And i didnt REALLY like the song either...it was alrite. The whole cd was "Alrite". No doubt Kangta is really good "GROUP" material. But when he's on his own....He cant survive. Most of his songs he barely even sings and you listen to the endless jazz solo's go by, And he'll jump in somewhere along the way. Should you buy this cd? Sure. If your a former H.O.T fan or just feel like hearing a "pretty boy" sing, GO ahead. But just remember, Anthony has warned you.

First off i hated this cd for some crazy reason when i first got it. And i thought Danny sounded really weird when he went"THIS IS THE REMIIIX!!" on track number 9. The only song i liked was Gil, which means Path in english. But like after a month later or so i was like.""Theres nothin else to do so i guess i'll listen to my GOD cd and give it another chance. And when i got to track number 3 and up i was just like WHOA CRAP MAN! How come i didnt notice this cd was off da hook the first time?!!? Tracks 2,3,4,5,9,7 are just really,really good to me. I jam this cd all the friggin time! All the friggin time. The rest off u that hate on this cd just go pop it in one more time and give it another friggin chance. Go ahead G.O.D you got me to count on to buy your 5th album.

Fin.K.L. Vol.4
April 7, 2002 Oh my lord!!!!!
YUP ITS ME!! ANTHONY MCDERMOTT, most known for telling it like it is when reviewing! unlike everyone else who are scared to REALLY rate a cd. Let me get this review started. First off i went to the kpop store. Oooh i was so excited! im like so you guys got the new Fin.k.l cd? The lady is like yeees. And i committed one of the biggest mistakes ever! i slaped 13 american bucks on the counter and and took the cd. I went and made a stop at my pc club so i could check it out. I opened the cd case and first checked out the postcards. THOSE POSTCARDS!! Man whoever packages the cd's has to be a guy!! He must of thought" If the male audience looks at these postcards we will have no problem selling. And it sucked me in when i saw them. ERR.Anyways after gawking at the inside booklet and postcards for an hour i took my cd player out and removed my s.e.s 5th cd,WHICH I MIGHT ADD IS A BIZILLION KAGILLION TIMES BETTER THAN THIS CRAPPY CD! and i carefully placed it in its case. I then listened to the first 5 tracks. And i thought i had the cd on repeat!!! the songs so so alike i'ttl trick ya just like that!! Which is not a good thing! im like "man thats really weird". I walk back home and listen to the rest off the cd on the way. I got home and was like".....Man...what a waste of talent". Just like any other guy of course i think the girls look outstanding except for one. Hyo lee and yuri need to go model somewhere and the rest of them can just beat it! You want a real girl group cd!? Go buy s.e.s 5th! go buy M.I.L.K! This is not the cd you want. And i apollogize to Yesasia for making them lose sales for this review{you know i love you guys!} but this is just not cool.Sorry.-_-
