track 1-5: good. track 6-7-8: mediocre. track 9-13: great

LOVE her self-composed one, alan menkey disney epic last fantasy, her collab with corinne bailey rae, good day vol. 2-ish you and , l'amant and a couple more.

think she performes the song with more intelligence here than before, more dynamic vocals

I agree with everything except your thoughts on track 1. I think it goes with tracks 9-13 in the "great" category

[askbask.livejournal.com]

Agreed, I just wanted to generalize the three groups of songs.

[thebluemonk.livejournal.com]

this album makes me feel warm all over

<3 IU.

4AM reminds me so much of Norah Jones, i love it. Makes sense it was composed by corrine bailey rae.

Listening to the other songs now~

[cosmicfish.livejournal.com]

Really like most of the songs except for 6, 7, 8. Those three not so much. 4AM is perfect and I love A Stray Puppy!

[devilsatin.livejournal.com]

you & i sounds too much like good day except it's not as good

[jumpsama.livejournal.com]

like a said, yeah she reminds me of Jang Nara

[sballet06.livejournal.com]

You and I reminds me of Good Day but I love it.
Secret, Teacher, 4AM and L'amant are my faves upon first listen. The whole album is pretty good though.

I'd really like to see her perform some of the album songs on EBS Space. Idols don't usually perform on there but it would be the perfect venue for lives of some of these songs.

CAN I JUST SAY

4am is fucking flawless.

[sballet06.livejournal.com]

It really is!
I expected it to be good because of Corinne's involvement but it exceeded my expectations.

[itangeisha.livejournal.com]

Some song are good and really cool to the ear. The songs are really good quality even with her childish voice (sometimes i'd like to hear the song with a deeper voice ie).

[grapewhine.livejournal.com]

I really like Teacher, I wish it was just called something else. And 4AM is great too, though the instrumental really threatens to overwhelm her in the beginning. I like the slight huskiness of her voice.

Okay, first of all, let me say that I already knew this album was going to be awesome.

Now that I have said...

OMG~~~~~~~~~~~ WHAT IS THIS AWESOMENESS OF AN ALBUM?!?!?!?! O_____O

I CANNOT dislike a single song on this album...not ONE >___

[geniebsmart.livejournal.com]

P.S. LJ needs to quit eating my face...

[geniebsmart.livejournal.com]

P.S.S. Wooyoung has to be somewhere spazzing like a fanboy right now /bricked

[rainbwoo.livejournal.com]

lol i see you. woou ftw <3

[breakinglocks.livejournal.com]

Can somebody please tell me why I know the refrain of Uncle?
I think it was used in a Kdrama before but I'm not sure. Dream High?!
Otherwise I'm totally in love with the Album

[nobodyelse-care.livejournal.com]

Last Fantasy and Lost Puppy are extremely good! 4am is really good as well!

Man, I'm totally gonna buy this album!

[nobodyelse-care.livejournal.com]

"Uncle" is pretty creepy, though... :/

[nobodyelse-care.livejournal.com]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the instrumentals in L'amant!

[seobyo.livejournal.com]

hmm as of right now i'm not diggin' this album...
but i'll probably end up loving it after a couple more listens...

[chinchuu.livejournal.com]

Collab with Corinne Bailey Rae? IU must have been over the moon.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

The album is beautiful, you can see the effort gone in to this one. I love the instrumentals, and that they're not hideous electronic noise. I know most Intl fans won't really like this but I love it, but perhaps she needed have more songs like the beansprout song here aswell to add variety. But overall a lovely album, very disney.

[geniebsmart.livejournal.com]

very disney

LOL xD Not a bad thing though
and +1 about the instrumentals. Very refreshing :)

[song-jihyuk.livejournal.com]

I LOVE last fantasy,i think it shouldve been the title track

[wotdoumean.livejournal.com]

everything is spectacular. wow. i know this is going to become one of my favorite k-pop albums ever. A stray puppy is my favorite. she is a brilliant composer. i need to buy this ;_;

[http://users.livejournal.com/___varying/]

Goodness, the entire album is so pretty. And I love the coherence of it.

[kakkoi-x.livejournal.com]

you and i sounds TOO much like good day. the first half of the album is like upbeat holiday ish and the other half is like sitting in a cafe on christmas

alsoo is it just me or does she sound like jessica (like in the first few tracks) and then sometimes like taeyeon (like in wallpaper design) ..idk

[rainbwoo.livejournal.com]

i really love stray puppy. omg it's so pretty. THE WHOLE ALBUM IS AWESOME JKSDFKSD thumbs up.

[surisays.livejournal.com]

you & i sounds too much like good day

[x3sarang.livejournal.com]

God tracks 1, 3, 5, 9-13 are flawless. I think I like 4AM and L'amant the best, but Teacher with Ra.D was great too as was Secret :3 IU is perfect sigh.

[violetrosie.livejournal.com]

Really nice. Some tracks are kind of forgettable for me and I'm not sure if the You & I has that 'punch' of a title track, but overall it's really pretty and I like the direction she's going in ♥

[threebits.livejournal.com]

Absolutely love tracks 1 3 and 4. I think You and I has got enough oomph for a title track.

[soft-daisy.livejournal.com]

Teacher is amazing. I loved the teaser and now the song is even better. I also don't mind Everything's Alright, Last Fantasy and L'amant.

Even though some of the other songs weren't my taste, they sounded quite sophisticated/good. I can't wait to see the translated lyrics since she wrote so many of them. Lyrics usually make me like some songs better.

[amandaa23.livejournal.com]

late but dfjghkjdfjg i love the album!!
despite it giving off similar vibes as good day because of the instrumentals, i love love love 너랑 나 (you and i).
its been on repeat all day long~

i really like 4am, 비밀(secret), 벽지무늬(wallpaper design), 삼촌(uncle), 사랑니(wisdom tooth), last fantasy, teacher, 길 잃은 강아지(a lost puppy) and l'amant too!

and yeah i realize that i practically named the entire album.
but thats how good it is! (;
