Gotcharocka Album - Royale Unboxing

Yesterday was super exciting for me!

I received the new album! I would have posted yesterday but I was super tired so, here it is!

The unboxing!

The free mag, as usual! Not complaining, its reading practice and good clothing ^__^

 Bubble wrap! Very important and exciting

 



*screaming*

Apologies about the reflection of my hand. Apparently its very reflective.

Woo! The CD and back of book.

Woo! DVD of the music video and the making of. Which I have yet to watch!

 

 

Next up, due to my excitement, I took pictures of the lyrics in the book. In case any of you wanted to read them ^_^ excuse the fingers >_<

 

 

 

Now, the all important part of the book....pictures of the band! I even took close-ups ^__^

I got the band one! Stupidly happy!

 

I listened to the album yesterday and I love it. Love it so much. Different styles thrown in all the time. Quite fun and energetic.

 





Big Bang - Bang Bang Bang

Hey there!

Another? Yes, two in a row!

I have another recommendation from a friend. I don't remember which one though. They should own up to this one!

Big Bang - Bang Bang Bang

 

 

I remember someone asking me to write about this one, I wasn't sure if he was serious. But here it is! So I was sat here, remembered and decided to put it on. Well. To my surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

 

So much energy in the music and the performance (in the vid) I pretty much started dancing from the get-go. The intro brings in the idea that this is going to make you dance, whether you like it or not. I know that if I heard this in a club or a party I would dance all the way through. Grind against my partying pals- like most ladies do when they are out with a group of friends. haha! I listen to this and imagine people gyrating against each other. An amusing thought, but probably what happens! The music gets you pumped up, ready for action, great gym workout music or partying. Either works!

The video shows a huge amount of energy and great visual effects. I don't really have too much to say on that. lol.

I have no idea what the lyrics are - but who cares right?

I will admit, I have yet to be disappointed by a Big Bang song. New challenge- disappointment me! Mwahaha - or not. Your choice!

Keep the recommendations coming. Hope you enjoy this track as much as I did. I was dancing throughout the whole thing, and now it is stuck in my head. Hurrah!


Exo - Growl

Greetings!

I have been looking for music. Luckily, I have music enthused friends. ^_^

Exo - Growl

 

 

I am not entirely sure what I think of this song. I have listened to it a few times to try and work out what I want to say. Nothing is coming other than - I personally don't find it memorable. It has a repetitive backing, which I find a slight irritation after a while. I'm not saying it is a bad song, it just isn't as catchy as the other Kpop songs I have listened to in the past. It is good that it breaks up the repetitive backing after a while and goes into some rap. But it then slides back into it. However, it does make for some backing music for studying or some other work, I wouldn't turn it off as soon as it came on. I can see people may listen to this to relax to, or to even unwind/cool down at the gym.

 

The choreography is very good but again, its not as active as other bands or songs. Maybe it is just this particular song choice? I am sure there are plenty more EXO songs that people can recommend me. This is just one song, out of dozens.

 

Please be assured that this is not a bad review - I have tried to not be negative. It is a good track, just not to my taste.

 

Thank you for the recommendation! 

 

Hope you enjoy this track!

Girugamesh - Break Down

Hey there!

Long time no post. I have been busy with studying and lots and lots of Destiny but we shall move on from my addiction haha!

Onwards with the music!

Girugamesh - Break Down

Album - Music (2008)

 

 

Well, what can I say. This song, I feel is pretty iconic for this band. It was probably the first song I heard by this band. Long ago I had my opinion swayed by someone and basically convinced me to not like this music. I recently listened to them and holy mother- I have been missing out.

 

I saw them live last year and I was gobsmacked. The atmosphere was amazing, everyone joined in, whether it was dancing and singing along, creating moshpits or just bopping their head at the bar. Everyone got involved. the band held so much energy and clearly enjoyed what they were doing. I was thoroughly impressed. I miss them.

 

I say this song is iconic because when it comes on, anywhere, such as other gigs as warm-up music or in a concert itself - people go mad over it.

 

I have found some of their songs are sung in English, unfortunately I am unable to determine which ones. Apologies. But I find it very impressive for a band to sing in two languages.

 

This song always makes me want to dance and / or thrown myself around. Or both! Such energy is passed on through their music.

 

I do recommend listening to a lot of their music. It is quite difficult to ascertain which genre they fall into - quite frankly, I think they have their own.

 

I hope you enjoy this song as much as I do, and hope you go looking into their music! If not, I will be posting more at some point anyway!
