10 Albums Under 6 Years!

And that brings the total number of songs by S.H.E to a staggering 98!

Yeah! 98 songs in barely 6 years. (Including all songs in OSTs, but excluding duets that are not present in their album)

Freaking impressive. There aren't many artistes that comes even close to that. Generally, most of them releases only 1 album per year. For example, Jay's been around for 7 years and has 7 albums (the impressive thing about him is he has never release a compilation to date). Lin Jun Jie debuted in 2003, and currently has 4 albums. Jolin has 8 official albums (she has too many "remixes") after 8 years. The only one that "can fight" is Stefanie Sun, with 10 albums after 8 years. But I think one of her compilation contain only like 2 new songs.

Anyway, I've just scanned through the album once, looking at the lyrics and listening to the song. So, it's still way too early to comment which song is good and which one is bad. And way to early to judge the album.

But there's no doubt that this is their most innovative (or some say weird) album to date. They've tried some styles of songs that were never present in their previous 9 albums before. Previous albums always follow the "Classic, Winning, Safe Formula", meaning lots of love ballads with a few fast songs throw in between.

Now I'm indulging in their photobook and the new songs. Haha. Might do a review once I think the "freshness" factor has stabalize.
