YesAsia Editorial Description

Korean pop star BoA officially storms the American music market with her long-awaited self-titled English debut album. Huge in Japan and Korea, the petite pop sensation made a splash with her first English single, the Henrik Jonback-produced dance track Eat You Up, in October last year. For her US debut album, she has recruited many hit-making hotshots on board including Brian Kennedy who produced Rihanna's Disturbia; Bloodshy & Avant who have worked with Madonna, Britney Spears, and Kylie Minogue; and singer-songwriter Sean Garrett who wrote, produced, and features in BoA's second single I Did It For Love. Other cuts to look out for on BoA's highly anticipated English debut album are the Kennedy-produced mid-tempo pop number Obsessed and the English version of her K-pop hit Girls on Top.

I expect better from her Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10
At her age, BoA is certainly a commendable and talented musician. Her debut English album comprises of songs belonging to genres like pop-dance and disco, stuffs that Americans adore.

My complaints on the album would be the lack of depth in the lyrics and lack of variety in the types of songs. Most songs in this album are similar to one another with the exception of “Girls on Top”, which is a remake of her Korean song. It was refreshing from the start but soon becomes hackneyed when the there’s only one main genre (which is disco) throughout all tracks.

Different from BoA’s korean and japanese songs, the songs in this album focus on the use of instruments and electric beats, rather than vocals and emotions. The songs lack uniqueness and the power of her vocals cannot be heard due to the synthesized vocals.

This is absolutely an album for mainstream pop fans. If you are expecting to hear the usual BoA in her Japanese and Korean albums then this is not the one you should be looking for. But otherwise, she did a pretty decent job in this album.

Recommended tracks: Girls on Top, Did Ya, Eat You Up.

Good CD Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
I must agree with my previous reviewer. This album's great and is worth your bucks especially if you didn't already buy the first one. The new tracks are excellent, but I would've preffered a remix of I Did It For Love instead of the Radio Edit of Energetic. Other thing is that, as my previous reviewer already said is that there's only a photo on front and back of the lyrics booklet and one on first page when you open it. The rest of the pages are the lyrics written in plain text on white paper with no sort of fancy design or nothing. Even her Japanese singles have like 2-3 pictures. That's just cheaping out, and I even posted my opinion on her American website hoping maybe BoA or someone from her staff might read it. I bought two copies of this album elsewhere on the day of its release to support her here in Canada. I also saw a few other people buy it and I wish her the best of luck but she needs to not cheap out on the lyrics booklets and start advertising more. So on whole, give it an 8.5/10... and I look forward to her two upcoming Japanese singles.

 hm... Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
I bought this in American stores (Barnes & Nobles) for the same price here in order to make it count on the Billboard charts. I had to show BoA some support. ^_^

Overall, I bought this for the repacking photography and the extra tracks.

The extra tracks are EXCELLENT, my favorite being Control. This is a track I feel was well developed and I think BoA should have just used this track for the new PV instread of the repetitive track Energetic. This would sound good live and I can already see a dance routine to this.

Crazy About is another good track that has a nice bounce to it. It feels like a club song to bounce to. ^^ I can see this being remixed soon. ^^

The Radio Version of Energetic is the same as the original except for the fact that there's an interlude near the end... But I like the track.

The real reason I gave this an 8/10 is because I was disappointed with the booklet. Usually in repackaged albums, either the CD case is different (different material or something special), there are more photos, or there's a DVD attached. I didn't really expect a DVD attachment because US albums don't really do that. However, I did expect more PHOTOS in the book. There's a total of 3 photos... (the cover, the back cover, and 1 inside picture which looks like the back cover in reverse.) When it comes to SM Entertainment, I expected something more...

BUT for those who haven't bought the original album, this is an awesome chance to get more for your buck with the extra tracks. Support BoA if you haven't already. ^^
