some of the songs on the album sound good. but the others that don't are just terrible. there are either good or terrible songs on this album. and there are a couple terribles. and part of me, i agree. i really hope it bombs now b/c there really is no effort put into it. SM totally rushed her into this debut. Her english still sucks and even on some of the tracks i can barely understand her! it's ridiculous~

but knowing all of her korean fans, she'll probably sell well thanks to all the preorders. ugh.

You're so negative!!! Even if you didn't like the album based on its previews, that's no reason for you to wish something like that! Ok, you dont like the album, fine.. but who the heck are you to say, oh, there's obivously no work put on this album, and I hope it bombs! Where you there when she was making this album? I know it's your opinion and all, but that's not a reason for you to be like that, and wish that for someone you're supposedly a fan for...

Energetic - ...is this a song?
Did ya - Sounds like fun~
Obsessed - Catchy
Touched - ...? No, I don't really like it
Scream - From the preview, I like the Anyband cover of this song better then her solo one >.>...
GoT - This song is good no matter what language she sings it in <3
Dress Off - It sounds like one of the songs I normally wouldn't like, but love in secret XD
Hypnotic Dancefloor - Likey likey~

All in all, it seems like it'll be a decent album. It's better than anything she's put out in Japan recently at least. But I hope she goes back to Korea soon, or Japan stronger =/...

Did Ya- I like it, but her voice
Dress Off- I really liked the lyrics
Energetic- the preview was not the best. Esp at the beginning. I couldn't get a handle on the song before the preview was over.
Girls On Top- It sounds weird in english, but I can grow to like it as long as the english fits in in the full version
Hypnotic Dancefloor- Burn it up on this hypnotic dancefloor. <333
Look Who's Talkin - The performances were better because it wasn't autotuned
Obsessed- Only song I had problems understanding her english
Scream- Much better than Melrose's version. She should have gotten Tablo into this.
Touched- This is gonna be my jam. Even if it doesn't sound like her.

I thought her english was solid. I understood her. I knew it was going to be autotuned but this is just too much. They really screwed with her voice. It's like a robot is singing and other times it's like another person is singing. I'm really hoping she preforms some of these songs. At least there we will hear her voice. The autotuning fits the songs, but I would like to hear her voice. Still interested in this album. I liked most of them.

I know that some of you said that it sounds like PCD. I thought Britney Spears, but the point is the songs sound like someone else could do them. But that's what she was aiming for. She's not trying to do something different to the US market. She trying to blend in. This album does that well. This is very different from her previous stuff so I'm happy with what I'm hearing.

The ending part of the "Energetic" preview sounded like Lady Ga Ga's "Poker Face" where she goes, "Po Po Po Poker Face Po Po Poker Face".

The songs that stood out to me were "Energetic", "Obsessed", "Scream", "Dress Off".

"Obsessed" being the best sounding one.

I only like a few tracks off the album (EYU, IDIFL, LWT, GOT) and a lot of them sound so similar. It's like there is no diversity. Not that I don't like dance songs or anything. Also, I have to agree with ka♡ri. and Part of me she is really difficult to understand. She sounds way too electronic. I'm quiet disappointed but seeing as I already pre-ordered the album I'll try to enjoy it.

wow. okay. sorry i upset you. maybe i could have worded it better but i'm just disappointed in BoA as I had been anticipating this album for a long time and it's pretty half-assed.

to see her get success from this would just be.. weird. it's not deserved IMO.

^ That.

I only listened to a few of the previews because I want to wait until I actually have the album before I listen to the others.

Energetic - Can't really say if I like this one. If only the preview was longer.

Scream - Awesome.

Hypnotic Dancefloor - Awesome I love this. Burn it up on this hypnotic dancefloor is getting stuck in my head, lol.

Obsessed - Quite good.

i can't believe this, but i surprisingly don't really like any of the previews. i've always wanted BoA to just stick with jpop, anyway.

wow, her debut English album is way better than her recent Japanese release.

Decent to awesome.

I heard Japanese people in general don't like her because she is not Japanese.

This is how Japanese dumps her out to America and makes she works so hard in her English.

Wow, I actually liked those previews. Maybe "Excited" not as much. This album sounds very upbeat? There's no slow songs on this album. o_O.

No slow songs Probably for the best. It just wouldn't fit with the sound of the album. Can you imagine a slow ballad with autotuned vocals? I would rather hear her voice in a ballad.

i don't like how she dresses so boyish lately, not a fan of that. and she didn't even look like she was enjoying herself in that performance, it was like a blank face the entire time.

and i lol'd at the squeaky sneaker at the beginning xD

If that was true ... why would she be able to have her albums reach #1
