SISTAR 1st Full Album : So Cool

Album Review. (Just a simple review)
Selalunye Review MV kan? This time I wanna review the whole Album.
Sebelum start me-review, please note that I'm not even Korean, so review ini adalah berdasarkan halwa telinga ku semata-mata.

Released date : 9th August 2011
Album Title: So Cool
Tracklist:
1.     "Let’s Get the Party Started"      
2.     "So Cool" (쏘쿨)    
3.     "Girls Do It"      
4.     "Follow Me"      
5.     "New World"      
6.     "I Don't Want a Weak Man" (약한 남자 싫어)    
7.     "How Dare You" (니까짓게)    
8.     "Over"      
9.     "Oh Baby"      
10.     "Shady Girl" (가식걸)
11.     "Push Push" (푸시푸시)    
12.     "Ma Boy" (Special version)

Album ni memuatkan 12 lagu, 5 lagu baru and a special version of 'Ma Boy'. Lagu-lagu dalam album ni seronok untuk didengar, but for me, takde lagu dalam album ni yang buat aku ketagih nak dengar berulang kali tapi semua lagu boleh tahan sedap.

Vocal Hyorin yang sangat mantap memang tak boleh dinafikan tapi kebanyakan lagu dalam album ni tak mencabar vocal dia. (Kalau tak caya suara Hyorin sedap, sila bukak youtube carik video dia nyanyi solo)

Disebabkan mereka membawa genre POP, R&B and Dance, dalam album ni takde lagu ballad yang mendayu-dayu. Lagu rentak slow ade la macam "I Don't Want a Weak Man", tapi lagu mendayu-dayu tu takde. Tapi lagu ni pun bukan lagu baru, it had been released  in their 2nd Single Album "Shady Girl" in August 2010.

About the tracklist, I don't really like the 1st, ""Let’s Get the Party Started" sebab starting dia tah macam ape je. Tapi lagu "So Cool", "Girls Do It", dan "Follow Me" best. Lagu rancak yang tak menyakitkan halwa telinga.

Lagu dari tracklist 6-11 semua tu lagu lama dari 1st, 2nd and 3rd Single Album mereka. Tapi yang paling sedap nak layan "How Dare You", "Shady Girl", dan "Push Push".

And the last track, "Ma Boy" is released by the sub-unit Sistar19. This special version of "Ma Boy" is better than the original.

So overall:

best tak album ni?
hmmm..just good..

berapa bintang nak bagi?
hmmm..3.5/5 okay? or 6.5/10?

berbaloikah beli album ni?
definitely berbaloi for hard-core-fans.

(p/s: kalau aku rajin, aku post lyric lagu-lagu yang best)
