Amazing Collection Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10

I've had this for years but never reviewed so I thought I'd drop my comments on it~

I came across this by accident a few years ago and thought "6 disks, for that price? DAMN I'm buying that xD".

The reason I think Luke felt misled is a misunderstanding of the term KPop. KPop doesn't mean Korean Pop music, it means Korean Popular Music, i.e. anything non-trad, and the charts were dominated by RnB, Hip Hop and Dance tunes at this time, rather than the influx of Bubblegum pop we've had in recent years. If it's bubblegum, poppy Krn stuff you're after, then this CD set is NOT for you.

Luke- you sound like my grandfather, going on about how the rap and the beats would give you a migraine. Wth. If you don't like that kind of music, why buy it? It's obvious from the reviews before yours [and the references to dance & hiphop in the tracklist] what kind of music it is, so you should've read them and avoided it.

And not all rap inspires hatred and violence, that's a truly ridiculous stereotype. And no one said rap is music, because it isn't, it's pretty much rhythmic speech. But just because you don't appreciate it, doesn't make it crap. I wouldn't listen to whole songs that are just rap but I think rap passages in songs breaking up the singing parts can actually benefit a song and add contrast and diversity.

Yes, the girls often belt to quite high notes in some of the songs, it is a common feature on Kpop from this era. They aren't screaming, and if you can't tell the difference then that's poor hearing on your part, not lack of talent on theirs. Kelly Clarkson belts to high notes like this too. It's just a different style, and it requires a lot of control and power to belt that high.

The fact that you use Britney Spears as an example of good music explains a lot. But whatever. Pretty much every review in here is positive anyway so I doubt you'll deter many people from buying this.

Anyway. There's a LOAD of awesome songs on here, and a load of great artists I'd never even heard of before.
It's a really awesome CD with some old favourites like HOT and SES and a lot of lesser known artists you're unlikely to find anywhere else, and even better- EVERY song has the lyrics in the booklet [some of these songs, there aren't even hangeul lyrics online for them, and songs like HOT- Candy lyrics always have sections missing, but the full lyrics are included in this set]. The inclusion of hangeul lyrics makes it even better [it's not hard to learn to read&write hangeul ^^], the MV's are a nice addition but the price is worth it for the CDs alone.

As previously mentioned, the set is dominated by RnB, Hip Hop, Dance etc with a few ballads and poppier tracks [but not many], and there's obviously some rap too, so if you only like pop stuff there's only a few tracks that will appeal to you, like HOT- Candy and the SES tracks, BoA tracks etc.

My favourite tracks on the 4 main disks were~
Disk 1: tracks 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 16, 18
Disk 2: 1, 2, 7, 9, 12, 14, 18
Disk 3: 1, 4, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 17, 18
Disk 4: 1, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 14, 16
[Disk 5 is just a mix of 1-2 minute excerpts from the songs on the other 4 disks in 4 non-stop mixes]

Highly recommended. If it comes back in stock, be sure to snap it up quick.<3
