Just listened to the last song, and this album gets an A+ from me. She released one of her worst albums this year, followed by one of her best albums. I hope she doesn't do that again because IDENTITY had me all confused and gave me so many doubts. Please be more consistent BoA, and continue to release amazing albums like this!

It wasnt steallar to me....but it was better than the her last 2 albums at least. It might take a few more listens to win me over like with Hurricane Venus. I do think its good that it featured her vocals more and wasn't like....yeah she can dance.

Basically, ballads, not upbeat tracks are the strongest side of that album. I'd never, NEVER supposed BoA to sing those songs. :thumbsupx10000 for her and all people who composed those tracks I mentioned earlier. :heart HURRICANE VENUS is really the catchiest and "most succesful" off that album though, ideal song to promote that album. Only one song which I didn't like is Let Me, hope it'll grow on me.
Okay, maybe there won't be anymore a better album than Girls On Top, but HURRICANE VENUS has the second place. This is the Queen of K-pop y'all.

Can't wait for the live performances.

^ 2 days *__*

I'm really curious when MV will come out...

What surprises me about the album is there isn't one song I don't like.. that's extremely rare for me when listening to K-pop albums (even ones by my favorite artists). There's usually that ONE SONG that's so bad it makes me cringe, but there isn't one to be found on HURRICANE VENUS.

Lucky you. All of the ballads are gorgeous....just there's a bit too many and the overall slowness is overwhelming. Well I was hoping that she'd do some nice ballads again and I guess I got what I wanted. Its not really disappointing....I think I need to listen a bit more...which is going on.

Yeah, there are a lot of ballads, but at least they're beautiful, right? I'd rather a lot of beautiful ballads than a bunch of fail upbeat songs or something.

I love the album! I don't think there's too many ballads. There's a good balance of up-beat/dance tracks and ballads. Then there's an up-beat/cute song and a mid-tempo track. So it's like half-half. All the ballads have a different feel, so that's incredible!

1. Game - Eletro/pop
2. Hurricane Venus - Pop/dance
3. Dangerous - Pop/dance
4. Stand By - Typical BoA power ballad, lol
5. M.E.P (My Electronic Piano) - Up-beat/cute
6. Let Me - Pop/dance
7. Implode - Haunting acoustic ballad
8. Adrenaline - Pop/dance
9. Ordinary Day - R&B mid-tempo
10. Don't Know What To Say - Piano ballad
11. Romance - Jazzy slow-tempo

My only complaint is that the album seems short? The whole album is like 45 minutes.

Anyway, I freaking love "Implode"! The song was produced by the singer of Nell (AMAZING INDIE ROCK BAND!!). I recognized his voice while listen to the song. :heart It's such a beautiful song. It definitely feels like something Nell would release.

I just noticed 한별 (Implode) is 6:30 long, I didn't even know! I think that's how long ballads should be done, they're interesting enough so that when they're finished, it doesn't sound like they went on forever.

*cancels preorder*

but game grew on me :) i'm going to purchase that song on itunes

^Eh. That's only fair I guess. I'm still getting it for the title track, GAME, Romance, and the awesome looking packaging. I didnt preorder though....I'm asking a friend to get it for me.

i would buy just it for the awesome cover even though i'm not a fan of the songs on it but i just can't afford it right now :(

Holy crap I almost forgot, lol. Downloading now, will comment later. I need to listen to an album at least 3x before I can make an accurate judgement on whether I like it or not. :P

Has anyone here from CA been to Music Plaza in KTown? I've never been to that part of LA before and I wanna know if they have recent releases soon after they release.

I was crying during listening to Romance. For real...

Here is an full article. You can watch here a special message from BoA.

LOL I just realized that I skipped Ordinary Day when I was downloading 0_o Apparently she wrote that and Let me. I cant stand Let Me the more I listen to it. The other songs are growing on me a lot.

I may be the only one who thinks this but 로망스 (Romance) makes me think of wintertime

Just started listening to the album! I'm so happy she's back to K-Pop! I personally think her Korean and American music is so superior to her Japanese music.

I sort of got that vibe from Romance and Don't Know What to Say
