This customer review refers to BoA US Vol. 1 - BoA Deluxe (Repackage Album) (Korea Version)
Amazing Album! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
While BoA might not have gained much attention for her US venture, she certainly dropped an extraordinary album. Every song on it is worth listening to. Do yourself a favor and get a copy of it!

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. ^^

 AWESOME ALBUM! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I already liked BoA's first US American album entitled "BoA" and am now very happy that a DELUXE EDITION of it comes out!

That's the real tracklist:

01. Energetic (Radio Edit)
02. Control
03. Crazy About
04. I Did It For Love (featuring Sean Garrett)
05. Did Ya
06. Look Who's Talking
07. Eat You Up
08. Obsessed
09. Touched
10. Scream
11. Girls On Top
12. Dress Off
13. Hypnotic dancefloor
14. Energetic

As you can see, "BoA DELUXE" contains 3 more tracks than the original album!
Most all I like the songs "I Did It For Love", "Energetic" (the Radio Edit is awesome!), "Did Ya", "Eat You Up", "Obsessed" and and and... yeah, I can say that I like the whole album!
So if you want BoA's US album, buy this version as the cover's also better than "BoA".

The album gets 9 out of 10 points and is really amazing.

I totally recommend this album!

 WOW Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I LOVE THIS CD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't stop listening to it. I've bought some of BoA's older music in the past, but I'm happy that she's expanding into the US. Her style of music is totally different in this album, but I still love it. It's not jpop. Rather, it's dance in BoA's unique way. I happen to be a dance fan, so this album is just right for me. I love all the tracks, but my favorites are "I Did It For Love", "Energetic", "Eat You Up", "Obsessed", and "Scream". "Girls on Top" is actually one of her Korean songs from the past, except that in this album it's in English.

If you're someone who likes BoA's style in Japan/Korea, you may or may not like this album. It's almost as if she has transformed into someone else in this one, however her unique style still shines through it. If you don't like dance/upbeat music, don't buy this one.

As for me, I look forward to her future albums, whether they are in Korea, Japan, or the United States!

Go BoA!

 Great Start! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Personally I dont get why people are disappointed in this album. Like SarangAsianMusic said, shes trying to break into the American music industry so it is the better option for her to choose what American listeners would be more attracted to. I was gonna buy it here until I saw it at one of the music stores at the mall and I had to just buy it with my own hands. Feelings different if you know what I mean. It was great to actually see her album at an english music store. Growing up in Canada I'm use to listening to R&B so I really liked the sound this album was giving. The songs on this album are great! "Eat You Up" and "Look Who's Talking" have been stuck in my head forever!! And as a dancer I found these 2 songs great to dance to! Eventually I think BoA can start putting back her original sound into her American album but as she is still starting out I think this album was what will help start her off with a BANG!
I still personally think that no matter how well they (korean artists) do with their American debuts, they still wont be as successful as they want. Just cause when I bought this album, the guy at the cashier looked so surprised I was buying this. Most people have no idea about this album, and they are truly missing out. BoA i s really good, but still Americans will still probably choose Hannah Montana (random thought) over BoA.
If you wanna hear a fresh new sound from BoA then this is totally the album for you!! Plus you can hear the improvement in her english which I think is totally awesome!!
