Yay! I've been waiting for this.

I've been listening to Password repeatedly for 2 days now. I seriously need Jjong's solo album.

[22by7.livejournal.com]

I NEED IT NOW btw what on earth happened to 'Beautiful Tonight'??

[pinklunacy.livejournal.com]

Password is everything ♥

Some of the other tracks are rather forgettable though :( Especially when it comes to the ballads. Imo, the only song standing out from the batch of bland ballads is Keeping Love Again. Might need a few more listenings.

[shineesbright.livejournal.com]

"KEEPING LOVE AGAIN" IS THE MOST MAGICAL BEAUTIFUL SONG AND I USUALLY DISLIKE ~SLOWER~ SONGS ♥♥♥

[shineesbright.livejournal.com]

"Password" is a little repetitive but of the new tracks it's definitely my favourite. I appreciate that "Kiss yo" is very different to their usual 'style' but it's a lil too noisy for me, the rest feel like filler music.
Universal music japan didn't really try w. this album but it's fine because i'm still banging out "misconceptions" and got these photo's out of it


there are more but i don't wanna ruin em for everyone myself till i get the physical 8D

[22by7.livejournal.com]

Onew needs to stop. By which I mean, if he stops I will hunt his ass down and spank him.

[22by7.livejournal.com]

I'm NHF these ballads omg. 'Breaking News' doesn't feel fresh... and then the Onew and Key focus jolts me so hard I'm like, YES PLEASE YES MORE. Cause those two have been getting shafted. My holy trifecta of goodies for this album, among the new tracks, are 'Password', 'Kiss Yo' (yes, despite the atrocious dubstep moment...) and 'Burning Up'. 'Password' is a good reminder that for about three albums now Shinee have been getting pretty much THE best and most interesting songs for any SM artist, and nobody seems to have noticed...

Oh this so much! ^^^ I wouldn't have it any other way tbh!

[edanz-castle.livejournal.com]

I was surprised with this album. I just thought it wouldn't be good because j-pop isn't my thing and I wasn't impressed with the melody of songs they previewed. But after listening to it, I really really like it.

"Password" is one of my most favorites and I really like the diversity of "Kiss Yo". "Breaking News" I really like a lot and the last ballad on the album was solid.

"Run Wit Me", 1000 years always by your side, Keeping Love again...all of my fave's already.

A really nice solid Japanese album for SHINee!!!

[22by7.livejournal.com]

Bless your glittery goodness. Kiss Yo reminded me so hard of some punk, I'm so relieved someone else hears this!

[22by7.livejournal.com]

Am I the only person who finds 'World With You' superior to '1000 years...'? I always wondered why the former was picked as the B-side.

[achan123.livejournal.com]

they both are good. world with you is more of a slow track that progresses into a happy faster tempo song. 1000 years on the other hand has BEAUTIFUL voices from EVERYONE...
idk, i like both but prefer 1000 years.

[kaylaa7x.livejournal.com]

i hate kiss yo. is that a typo btw? it sounds like they're saying kiss you but the title has always been quoted as kiss yo.

run with me and keeping love again may not be new but they're still flawless.

i still like breaking news, and burning up. i'm on the fence about password but it's growing on me cuz jjong's voiceee.

[achan123.livejournal.com]

not a typo i checked... :/
i LOOOOOVE Password. its such a different song for shinee (almost completely indie-ish) and im proud that they were given this song!! and its still growing on me.

And yes to jjongs voice! his slow withheld lingering notes are so frikkin spot on when hes doing the moaning part in the second half O_______O

[achan123.livejournal.com]

[22by7.livejournal.com]

90s alt rock.

[footballfina.livejournal.com]

This is a really solid full album from them, so many great tracks. The music they've put out lately has just been so quality and IMO shows immense growth from them, more than probably anyone else.

Password def took me by surprise; it's really... hypnotizing? Just a cool as shit song.
Dazzling Girl has Ben flawfree since my first listen and nothing has beat it, but Run With Me and Breaking News are both total jams.
I've never been a ballad person but I appreciate how beautiful they sound (the Toho vibes are strong on a lot of them)
Overall, more great music from Shinee - I think they're the most consistent band in all of kpop, and this is def no exception :)

[22by7.livejournal.com]

I hear you on the Toho vibes, too bad they don't really do any interesting harmonies for Shinee (they weren't ever meant to be a harmony group, true, but those choruses could use some help), BUT I remember DBSK's sound opening up so much in their later Japanese stuff and I'm sort of seeing the trend with Shinee :')

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

Too bad that my speakers don't work :|

[ohlookshiny.livejournal.com]

oh shit. password is awesome.

shinee's music has been so on point this year. ty sm. now only if you could give snsd some half decent material to work with i would like you more.

[misspontius.livejournal.com]

still can't get over the ugly art but ok
keeping love again it's their best japanese song hands down

[achan123.livejournal.com]

for me its probably seesaw...

[spainawards2008.livejournal.com]

The fact that I already know half of the album makes me want it even more because I love the songs I've heard.
Why do Korean albums only get one single to promote them?

[papersque.livejournal.com]

Password is definitely a favourite, the lyrics and meaning are gorgeous too.

[achan123.livejournal.com]

i just read the lyrics! they are really nice! :D

[chikage-chan.livejournal.com]

I've been listening to it non stop since I got my album yesterday! I'm a sucker for ballads so I really like all of them lol Breaking News has been stuck in my head for the whole week hahahahah
The only track I don't really like is Kiss Yo... Not my style at all.
And I'm still pissed that my random mini clear file came was Minho's! Out of five chances, of course I'd get the member I like less lol At least my card was Key's XD

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

IA! I'm such a sucker for Japanese ballads that's why I super love this album as a whole -- my fave SHINee's album out of their whole discography.

Actually, if UKISS did this kind of thing (putting the b-side songs in the album), I will be super pissed since I also buy their singles -- what's the point of me buying the singles when all the songs in the singles will come out in the album too? :/

[frantastic.livejournal.com]

'Password' is amazing, I'm literally having goosebumps while listening.

Lmao, 'Kiss Yo' is like SJ's 'Oops', only less chaotic.

I actually like this one so much better than the first jpn album ; A;

[dharawal.livejournal.com]

Loving all of it, and damn 1000 years by your side will never not stop reducing me to tears.

[nickle4apickle.livejournal.com]

Got this today from CDJapan, even got a poster! ;w; Was not expecting that!
I love the whole album to be honest. Some songs more than others. I'm still not sure what to think about "Kiss Yo," but I certainly don't hate it. XD I adore Onew's lines! XD
Been jammin' out to "Breaking News" since the teaser. 8D Burning Up is really awesome, too!

I read a translation of "I'm With You" while listening to it for the first time, and all I can think of is my step-dad singing this to my mom. He died a little over 2 weeks ago, and she's... well, she's doing better lately, but she's still struggling. I think I'm gonna have her listen to this and read it; it could help.
(Off-topic, sorry) Gosh, this is the second time that KPop has really hit home with my step-dad's death. The first was when I broke down 2 days after he died. I had my music going, and out of the 1,100+ songs on my playlist, it played MBLAQ's "R U OK?" I started laughing a bit, thinking my computer was checking up on me. ;w; When I posted that to facebook, my cousin said it was my step-dad trying to comfort me. ;w;
/rambling

[achan123.livejournal.com]

:/ hang in there bb... im 100% sure that mblaq song was a message from ur step-dad. :)

Password has managed to become one of my favorite SHINee songs ever over the course of a day and a half. As experimental as SHINee is, I was not expecting something so moody and ambient sounding, and in the alternative rock genre no less. Key's voice is used so well, Onew's voice blends so well with the background sounds, and Jonghyun sounds unrestrained but he brings so many different instinctual styles to the bridge and executes them all fabulously. A lot of their Japanese songs are a hit or miss, but I've always appreciated that they take risks with their promotions there. If only they could bring a little bit of this back to Korea with them. Password sounds like what The Reason should have sounded like.

Burning Up sounds sleazy in a good way. It's growing on me.

EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL

PERFECT gif for a PERFECT album!!! <3

[a-cheshire-grin.livejournal.com]

I'm not a big fan of the new songs. The only two I really like are "Breaking News" and "I'm with you", but this album is still SOOOOOO GOOD!!! *_____*<333

My favourite song is definitely "1000 years always by your side". I just love, love, love this song! And I love the storyline of the PV! Argh, everything is just perfect about it! *____*<3
Also "Run with me" and "Keeping love again" are sooooo great!

I just love his whole freaking album! <3
