OMG!
OMG!
| I dunno WHY I listened to other peoples' hype. People told me this album wasn't good. YEAH, RIGHT!! It's effing GREAT!! OMG!!! I especially like 더 끌려 track 8. That song is banging!! Seriously. All his other songs are super good, too though. Too bad his U.S. debut was delayed because of what happened a couple summers ago. Anyway, don't take my word for it; get out ther and buy it. NOW!!! OMG!! Stop reading already!!!! YES!!! 10 out of 10! 2 thumbs up!! 5 stars! All that good stuff!! GO!! |

The criticism first. Rain's vocals leave more to be desired, as usual. Actually, one does not desire anything at all. It is clear that Rain is no singer, he's a dancer and a performer. Even JYP acknowledges that, in a slip of tongue in a press conference. The album's songs, as per always, includes some English lyrics, however, his pronounciation is not all that clear. I believe he should cut that away completely, as it was clear that he could not succeed in the English-speaking world with his first language as Korean (remember the cancelled concerts?). Cut away the overly large dreams, and focus on the main task of capturing Asia. China would be a glitch. I will, however, acknowledge that the saving grace was the production, which would not be surprising given the funds he would have at hand. The production of the album is amazing, equalling and in some instances, surpassing that of a mainstream American album. He also made the right decision of minimalizing his vocals, an instead choosing fast songs to sing as opposed to ballads, of which there were but a few. By letting the instrumentals do the work, he masks his ineptitude at holding a tune and staying in pitch and produces a true work of art. Kudos to those god-like producers, they made the album worthwhile. |

Um....Please Stop
Um....Please Stop
| I didn't really like this album. I don't dislike Bi, but he is trying to be an Usher/Justin Timberlake want-a-be. It is not unique, and I am going to be blunt. Please stop speaking in English because it sounds so in my word "fobbish." It's like he trying to be black too, and it is not working for him. He doesn't look good in the outfit on the album. I don't think he's a bad singer either; however, you know when someone tries too hard at being cool. That's the impression I get from him. I really like Bi when he first came out; his first album was good, but I don't know if I will continue to support Bi. He's just became too cocky in my opinion. |

It is no secret I have always been a Rain fan. I have overlooked his Engrish and funky hairstyle. I have been looking forward to this album for quite some time. I was so excited when I came home from work one day and there it was. For me, at least, this album has lived up to my expectations. The title song grabbed me right away. It is very addictive and is now my favorite. I am also liking track 5, track 10 and Only You (track 3). The packaging is outstanding especially considering, with delivery, I paid about what I would pay for a popular CD here in the States (~$21). There is a lot of English on this CD and for the most part it is great. However, track 8 is a song called Fresh Woman and it sounds like he is saying Fresh Ramin. This just added to the charm for me. |

I bought this for my wife's birthday: she doesn't want jewelry or anything else, but everything about rain. She has been a rainaholic since his first debut; I am impressed.. I guess he is a good guy. |

I think Rain has done a good job with this album with new music and a new attitude. I'm not saying it in a bad way, the album is a great recording. I think he's always showed a sexy and bad boy image to his fans but after seeing his Live performance on Rain's Comeback. I think Rain came back a little TOO soon, I mean, I still love Rain but I think he should have came back stronger meaning controlling a perfect breathing when he's singing his fast songs. The reason why I say this is because I'm a singer also and as a singer, we notice these things... but anyway, in this album I only like a couple of songs since I don't understand korean... the song "Love story" the first time I heard it, I fell in love with how he sang this song, it was just different from his JYP slow songs. I also liked "Beautiful" "My Way" & "Only You"... I will always be a Rain fan though. LOVE YOU RAIN! |

I think this is a great album. Rain did a good job for this . maybe some people don't like his change, but just think about it with a different way. His song is not only for listen , they are always change to be much better after watching Rain singing Live. He make the songs live!!!!!!!!!!! He is not a best singer with the voice, he is not a best dancer ,but he is the best to play the song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fighting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Well, I love Rain! I think he's talented, cute, and fun...but I'm not feelin' this!! =( ..sorry...Alot of Korean artists have already had problems with originality in the past and this is a perfect example of why. He's dancing around, working a "bad boy" image with some suggestive lyrics placed here & there, singing in high falsetto sounding like a sissy...just like a Justin Timberlake clone. I know he worked with the same people that worked with Justin, but this is just ridiculous! If I wanted someone like Justin Timberlake, I would go buy his CDs!!!! (>_<) The title track, "Rainism", is probably the most amatuer song of his career. The silly "I'm gonna be a bad boy" that repeats itself constantly throughout the song really makes me shutter with embarassment! Mmmhmm...Rain is dancing better than ever...uh-huh, his singing has improved...but he has thrown his originality out the window with this release. JYP probably is proud considering alot of Korean artists usually want to make a breakthrough to the US & this is the closest Rain has come..but at what costs? If most non-Korean fads were to pick this up in America, most likely...they would consider him a "wannabe Justin" like Justin was considered a "wannabe Usher". I perfer his past releases and this one makes me so disappointed... (T_T) I'm so sorry to say..... Please don't stone me for this because everyone has a different oppinion and..mine is negative.... =( sadly..I had high hopes for this....lately, Rain has been desperately trying to reach the US...and perhaps the people who worked with him figured this was a smart move..?? Well, anyway! I don't like it. But maybe you will...I'll just see what he releases next time!! Don't mind me! (n_n)'' |
