Ummm. Why?

Go Round and Yeah-Oh in English are not good. I don't understand why some of the English lyrics in the Japanese versions were changed when they worked just dandy. "Dancing all night, I say..." flows infinetly better than "and think about one thing." So why not keep it? And "it's quite alright" used to rhyme with "kamawanai"; it certainly doesn't rhyme with "one thing" and just sounds awkward and stupid now.

In Go-round, why the hell were "how many days" and "how many tears" changed? So needless, and it negatively impacts the song.

I was excited about this album, but I'm rather disappointed after hearing it. Two of my favorite songs were changed for the worse. Hot Girls is just...silly and uninspired. Dancing in the Spotlight is OK, but redundant.

As for Break It, I like the album version. I like Let's Go, too.

I'm going to customize the tracklist on my iPod by inserting the original versions of Yeah-Oh and Go Round and adding in Higher. Not sure if I'm going to buy this album.
