 OMG! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
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!!

 Not bad. Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10
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.

 rain working on his english skills Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
I like this CD. I nearly all of Rain's CDs and while this isn't my favorite, it's pretty good. I'm not a fan of his slow songs this time around, but the fast songs make up for it. Turn Your Head and Rainism are pretty good and I love My Way. I especially like how he added some English and Chinese versions of some songs. I don't know, if you're a Rain fan, you'll like it so I say try it. Show Rain some love :)

 Asian special?! Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
What about the Japanese version of Rainism and Love Story? Including them would make this a better collection!

Anyway, most of the songs are slow. Reminds me of Vol.2.

Apart from Rainism and Love Story, I only like one other track- 'Love is'. The rest of the album is so so. I tend to press the skip button...

I like his last album 'Rain's World' more. More (fast) dance songs would have been good. Maybe next time?

 OMG!<33 Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I love this album so much.
Honestly, i was never a fan of Bi at first.
it's not that i didn't like him, it's just i didn't know much about him and i was currently obsessing over DBSK and Super Junior. (still am xD)
I didn't order this from the site, i found it in China town. (in NY)
When i finished listening to Love Story, i quickly fell in love with Bi.
Im a fan now~ ^__^
Buy this album!!
& i think it comes with a free poster, i'm not sure.
I got a free poster at the store when i bought it.
IT'S SEXY!! xD
"I'm gonna be a bad boy~ I gotta be a bad boy~!" xD
gotta love that song! :D

 Um....Please Stop Customer Review Rated Bad 2 - 2 out of 10
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.

 Loving It! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
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.
