suddenly felt like doing a short review on capricorn, jay chou's latest album. i previously said i would listen more to it before giving it a more balanced review(doesnt mean unbiased). lets list out the tracks first.

01 龍戰騎士
the music was like some war music. was supposed to be rap, but seriously using my experience, that was not a typical rap from jay chou.
02 給我一首歌的時間
i really liked it.really smooth and nice. but i wouldnt compare it to classics like 东风破, 七里香 etc
03 蛇舞
wtf? like some indian music or something. next please
04 花海
lacks the feel and beat of a nice song. sounds unnatural too
05 魔術先生
ppl said that if u dont like 牛仔很忙, u wont like this. strange. i dont like 牛仔很忙, but i like this. really catchy. the chorus is like u hear once ,u cant stop hearing it. the chorus is fast rap, but i cant simulate the same sound that jay gives out unlike other rap songs.
06 說好的幸福呢
nice song. but still cant compare to classics.
07 蘭亭序
another chinese style song, but doesnt have the feel of other nice ones(such as ironically 千里之外 and 菊花台)
08 流浪詩人
epic failure . not that taiwanese songs sucks. hey but the two singers dont complement each other.
09 時光機
refer to 說好的幸福呢
10 喬克叔叔
well,i cant give a verdict on this. jay's voice is really cold in the chorus and the part of 魔術師 我恨你 搶走我 的生意 別忘記 蝙蝠俠靠我才票房冠軍.
11 稻香
well best song of album. has meaningful lyrics. well only one worth comparison to classics, but still not up to the sky-high standards.

well at least this is better than the cowboy album which i see only 1 or 2 songs worth mentioning such as 蒲公英的約定. i would rank his albums as such:
1) 七里香
2) 葉惠美
3) 十一月的蕭邦
4) 依然范特西
5) 魔杰座
6) 八度空間
7) 我很忙
8) 范特西
9) Jay
