F.I.R.'s third album "Flight Tribe"
 
Haven't see any threads about this yet...what do you guys think of their new one?
after hearing it...this is their weakest release, if I were to rank from best to worst.
The second one "Unlimited" is by far their best release hands down, then the second one would be their debut album and then the new one.
I guess not many songs that could made me go "wow" compares to the other two albums.

release date: July 28th

hmmm. i had not hear it yet. Still wating for upload, so i can sample before buying.

it can't be no good. any nice songs that you like there?

Nu-NRG 2nd August 2006 02:54 AM

hmm well there's two...that I liked
one is call Tian Tian Ye Ye "Days Nights"
part of the intro lyrics is LeAnn Rimes's How Do I Live and then it switches off to a really nice ballad.
The other one is Yu Ying Hua "Raining Sakura"
a mix of Japanese instrumental+tribal sounds

I'll upload it to the download section

I think their new album isn't good at all. None of the songs really stand out imo. I think their debut album was the best, 2nd album 2nd and 3rd album is the worst out of the 3.

Is it just me or does the end of the intro sound a bit like GAMEish / Because of You..ish..? D:

i havent heard it yet, and i cant buy it for a while....but knowing F.I.R., it CANT be that bad.

Dull on the most part like their last two releases, but at least their last 2 releases had 2 or 3 songs that caught my attention. This one hasn't yet.

I particularly don't like the one where they samples Tricia Yearwood's (or LeAnn Rimes') "How Do I Live".

I've heard good and bad reviews about it, but I can't exactly put in my two cents, since I've never heard it. (I may buy it soon...)But does it sound like that: what's next preview on Unlimited?

alt.total-loser 2nd August 2006 05:05 PM

I don't know... I have to download it. So far the only things I've heard are bad, though.

Edit: Okay... so I downloaded it. And it's literally okay. I have a thing for track 8 for some reason. O__o All in all, this is an album I probably won't buy any time soon.

Mirai Noah 2nd August 2006 05:29 PM

I ordered it, and it just shipped yesterday. So I will know soon if I like it. ;)

FoObY 2nd August 2006 05:31 PM

It sounds lighter and slightly under-produced, like... the guitars could've sounded more powerful.

This is slightly off topic, but does anyone think that the Introduction in their 1st album is a rip off of 'taskinlude' from I am...? The general melody sounds similar, but the noticeable parts are the beginning (minus the talking), and especially the ending.

JesA 2nd August 2006 08:11 PM

yea i noticed that too, but i didnt post it here cuz of course, people would get all mad....im downloading it later to preview, but im buying it even if i dont like it

EDIT:
omfg i love it! i think its better than Unlimited, but not as good as Fairyland in Reality. I love every song! ive gotta buy this as soon as i can! BTW, does anyone know if theres gonna be a cd+dvd rerelease with the MVs in the next few weeks? i dont want to buy it, just to find out the cd+dvd is coming out.

FoObY 3rd August 2006 08:00 AM

^ probably... wait for a bit, most chinese artists/groups do second editions nowadays. It'd kind of annoying sometimes..

JesA 3rd August 2006 07:19 PM

ok. luckily my next purchase wont be for a while, so i can get it! i saw the 2 minute preview of Flight Tribe, and it was pretty cool. i cant wait for the I Don't Care, Rain Sakura, and North Pole MVs.

Mirai Noah 8th August 2006 06:21 PM

I just got it yesterday, so I haven't quite listened to it throughly, but none of the tracks really catch my attention. :(

It's LeAnn Rimes in this case.

then wait till you see the third version...i'm used to it...

the cycle are almost the same, first edition will have the cd, nowadays, they include photobooks, calenders(if near the end of the year).
2nd edition, which they called 'gai ban', most have CD+VCD(of pvs), some bigger companies will have dvd instead of vcds, or the artist's 'Celebration concert' which will be vcd...
3rd round might be a vcd of the 'tv special', which is aired in some taiwan shows....they will put them into the cd...

ayu_fan929 9th August 2006 05:37 AM

^Yep. Usually I see it's:
1st Version = CD-only
2nd Version = CD+VCD/CD+DVD (even a possibility of a bonus track)

Endlessoul 9th August 2006 09:11 AM

I've heard it. It's ok on the whole. But not amazing. I think "Get High""Sakura rain(Yu yinghua)" and "You love him (Ni hen ai ta)" are nice.

ruixiong89 9th August 2006 03:15 PM

I think it's their weakest release. None of the songs really stuck with me this time round. I still prefer their older works. As some of you have raised, it sounds under produced. Faye's still strong on vocals though, I just think that composition wise they really need to brushen up.

Kodayumi 9th August 2006 04:18 PM

Not bad..the songs are quite catchy...but im not really into chinese songs.XD
