"Ok, I know tastes in music is subjective and differs from person to person, but still, I'm going to write a review for this CD, which is one of my prized collection. ^^First of all, this is Korean Pop. I got this page by doing a search, so I am not sure which category Amazon places this CD in. So unless you're know of, heard of or is a fan of Korean pop, Kangta, Hyesung or Jihoon, you're unlikely to know this group, S. :('S' is formed by close friends KangTa (lead singer of former pop group, H.O.T), Lee Ji Hoon and Shin Hye Sung (lead singer of pop group Shinhwa) and this album "Fr. In. Cl." is their 1st as a group. Their title track "I Swear" has already been praised by many fans and critics. For your information, the tracks in the CDs are as follows (English Translation):
01. I Swear
02. Love is...
03. Just one Moment
04. I believe
05. Tears of the Moon
06. Stay
07. I was
08. Never Knew
09. Love is What I need
10. Sentimental
11. Prayer
12. Streaming Trax (Emerald)I like almost all the tracks in the CDs, but if there need to be choices, my personal favorites are "I Swear", "Love is", "Tears of the Moon", "Never Knew", "Sentimental", "Prayer", erm, well, almost all. ^^; The genre of the cd is considered popular music, but also expect a lot of soothing r&b ballads. Even though I don't understand much korean, the melodies are very nice and some of the tunes are quite catchy (it makes you want to sing along ^0^); the songs varies from being encouraging and upbeat, to being sad and touching. Overall, it is a very nice CD with a collection of different types of songs to suit your different moods.As for the lyrics, well, it's in Korean too, but if you're getting the overseas version, there'll be a chinese translation included. (Not so sure for English translation though). But then, like they say, music is universal. You can still enjoy and appreciate the music even if you haven't got a single clue to what they're singing. Well, at least it works for me. :) Cool guys, Good lyrics, Great music. What's else?"
