I actually liked the song the first time I heard it & I appreciate it even more after the video. So I'm guessing he had fallen in love with Jolin & was writing poetry about her? & when the poor girl saw Jolin's picture she made the connection it was no longer her in her lover's heart...how sad . I could be wrong though cuz I don't understand a word.

& about Jolin's albums having a few amazing songs & the rest being meh, I'm used to that already by now. I remain a Jolin fan just for those few awesome songs that come with each album. Myself was probably the only exception to this routine.

[isthisLOL?]

Can't say I'm impressed by MUSE. I absolutely adore 2 of the songs and quite like another one, but as a whole it's kinda forgettable :/ I hate how for EVERY Jolin album there's 1-4 songs I absolutely love and then I couldn't care less for the rest. They seem to all follow the same formula, too.

[paper_doll]

The first half is so good and then the rest is blahhh. Some of those ballads seem three times longer than they actually are. But, I did really like all the dance tracks.

That's EXACTLY what I pointed out about the album on my blog! The ballads are just so forgettable and boring. Glad somebody agrees.

I agree too. And I'm usually not a ballad fan, imo, I loved the ballads on Myself, especially Nothing Left To Say (flawless ) but the ballads on MUSE are just boring.

[Linoa62]

MUSE has been released worldwide on iTunes (Warner released MUSE digitally today)!
I just saw it on iTunes France.

I'm going to listen to the album once it gets here! what are everyone's favorite songs (top 3)?

Tough one...
I'd say Dr. Jolin, Fantasy, The Great Artist.

As for the "slow songs", I really like Mosaic and Someone.
Color Photos and "I" are quite boring to me.
Wandering Poet is nice, but not to the point that I feel like I'll play it on repeat!

I really like this album as a whole.
5music sent my copy today, I can't wait *_*

[Maemi]

Kinda disappointed in the album :/ I like the upbeat tracks, but they're far from wow! The ballads are boring, Myself had so much better ballads! Meh...

[CHE.R.RY]

I agree with Luna. My top 3 would have to be The Great Artist, Dr. Jolin, & Fantasy.

[ayu_ready?]

I cannot agree with the majority part of this thread. I absolutely adore this album, I love Fantasy, Beast the most. but others are good too, I absolutely love this album and I've been listening to it non-stop 24/7.

I like the ballad and the PV is so beautiful (*_*) Ayu should learn!

The album is alright, actually better than I thought.
Just like I expected I don't like the ballads much, lol.
But there are some gems on it like The Great Artist, Beast and Someone!
The first half flows great, nice to listen to!
The second half is pretty tiring for me. XD
Overall a 3.5/5 for me.
