Members Cheap21 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Members Share Posted June 3, 2014 Please register in order to view this content Thank me later I just listened to the entire album and I cant even pick a favorite bc all the songs are so good. I thought he'd branch out more into rap, but his R&B influence is still very much there https://soundcloud.com/bfmblast/stay-with-me-feat-g-dragon-o?in=bfmblast/sets/taeyang-2-rise "Stay With Me" featuring G-Dragon. I need to see them perform this together 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NothinButAttitude Posted June 3, 2014 Members Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) Oh how I'd love to be those suspenders. I would just hate to get him all alone and be disappointed if he has ... short comings. But in my mind, he'll be a long and lean (not too lean) stallion. Oh and that gun tattoo! Yaass! He must be telling me he's packing! He has too! Edited June 3, 2014 by Nothin'ButAttitude 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted June 3, 2014 Members Share Posted June 3, 2014 I wasn't expecting a slow ballad as the first release (not after the teaser), but I like it. I like the simplicity of the song, and the simplicity of that one-shot MV. Pulling away from his face to reveal that body lol you can see Taeyang and his management are keen to sell this album And then the fireball that really gets the song moving. I wish I understood Korean so I could get the song's meaning, I think that would make me appreciate Eyes Nose Lips much more. By the way, is that a picture of him or his first love being decimated by fire behind him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted June 3, 2014 Members Share Posted June 3, 2014 One can only hope there's no false advertising. I like the last pic especially but hey, where did some of his tats go? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Members Share Posted June 3, 2014 I have no idea who that was behind him. You can check out translations of the songs here: http://bigbangupdates.com/2014/06/taeyang-rise-album-lyrics-translations.html Albums doing great on iTunes: http://bigbangupdates.com/2014/06/taeyang-rise-on-itunes-charts.html their fake! He has a few but all those on his chest were done for the promotion of Alive/Fantastic Baby similar to all the tribal tatts he has in Ringa Linga EXO I love these! B2ST Beast is having their comeback soon and I cant wait. http://www.allkpop.com/article/2014/06/b2st-go-for-a-grungy-look-in-1st-black-and-white-group-teaser-for-comeback 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted June 3, 2014 Members Share Posted June 3, 2014 Thanks for the translations. Eyes, Nose, Lips is so pretty. But sad, lol, as you might expect from the MV. I can't wait to listen to the whole album but I am at work right now. LOL, re: the tats, that's ok. I don't need a gun tat pointing down my pants either. In the MV he did have some tats on his arm and neck in Portuguese (translated as "one love" and "one heart") but they are probably fake as well. I'm not a big lover of tatoos so it's no big loss IMO. LOL, it must be promotion for a clothing line. Luhan's is my favorite, as is Kai's (and his shoes). Suho: Deep thoughts. D.O.: Please don't kill me, thirsty fangirls. Luhan: New EXO-M leader. Tao: Over this [!@#$%^&*]. Chen: You want me to stand on this rotating soundstage with my hands on my head like a doofus? Kai: :::SIDE EYE::: Here's the mash-up: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted June 3, 2014 Members Share Posted June 3, 2014 So they are going for a new image too? I was all for it until I saw three of them in knickerbockers. Actually scratch that. I sort of like the executive shorts look. If anybody can pull off shorts with high socks and loafers, it is K Pop idols. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted June 3, 2014 Members Share Posted June 3, 2014 I just listened to the album, too. In fact, I listened to Stay With Me, 1AM, the Intro and Nose Mouth Lips twice. I appreciated NML a lot more the second time, too. Stay With Me is awesome. I love the 80s-90s RnB influences all over this album, and how soulful his voice is. BTW, I heard that CL sang backing vocals on Body?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted June 3, 2014 Members Share Posted June 3, 2014 Speaking of thirsty fangirls and D.O., the poor little guy literally saw his life flash before his eyes when some contraption he was in during EXO's Hong Kong concert accidentally swerved into a pit of screaming, hormonal schoolgirls (and their moms). http://youtu.be/_zQRlFrv3Gg Somebody screencapped D.O.'s Look of Love Fear: Meanwhile, Tao, Luhan and Lay were entertaining their Chinese fans in Mandarin when Tao fell through a hole in the floor. Please register in order to view this content I don't understand why SM invest all this money into their talent but don't bother to check the soundstage equipment to make sure it is safe?? Tao could have been killed. Or maybe this is China's revenge for the Krisis, lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Members Share Posted June 3, 2014 Not sure. Possibly. I'll probably get used to it. Its not as bad as their drastic change during their Midnight Sun promotions. I remember reading a comment on their YT page to the Beautiful Night video and someone said its like a rainbow threw up on them....LOL. This is like the opposite of that Junhyung is fully blonde now and Im not feeling the hair. It could be better if styled differently like here: I like Stay With Me but it puzzles me why its on this as it comes across more like a GD song. He raps the first two verses with Taeyang doing the chorus and coming in for the final verse. Good album, but the only bad thing about it is that its so short! Just 9 songs? I wish it were longer. I hadnt heard that about CL. I will have to listen extra closely now. We'll see if she pops up in the MV or not OMG poor guys! That is bad BTOB Minhyuk :wubs: http://www.tumblr.com/video_file/87542273218/tumblr_n6ikp6onOe1tt1kks LMAO! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted June 4, 2014 Members Share Posted June 4, 2014 OMG. The Shining. Minhyuk is cute tho. Are BTOB worth checking out at some point? I can't even with Beast and the Hawaiian shirt concept. It's like something out of Tiger Beat in 1989 (before any of these kids were born, but that's no excuse). Don't kill me, but I don't find any members of Beast all that hot. Possibly the dark-haired guy with the cane on the far right (below), or even Big Hat on the far left. But they don't do it for me visually like some of Big Bang and Exo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Members Share Posted June 4, 2014 I think so but then again I might be biased. This first video "Thriller" is what made me an instant fan. The song is catchy and I love the video concept, costumes and the blonde hair, which the guys are working Please register in order to view this content Super cool "When I Was Your Man". Also off the same album. A slower, more romantic ballad to showcase their vocals Here is them performing two songs off their most recent album. That first one "Broken Heart/Is this the End?" is really beautiful and Beep Beep of course is hip and fun. I like them! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted June 4, 2014 Members Share Posted June 4, 2014 History? Thriller?! I love how Korea loves MJ, but one of these days he is going to rise from his grave and sue K Pop for copyright infringement! I'm not really a ballad girl but I *really* like When I Was Your Man because it has that chilled '70s disco sound. Broken Hearts is a good one, too, though that poor blonde guy at the end is all silent until it come time to "rap." lol. And Beep Beep is hilarious. They are too cute! Speaking of cute, your boy D.O. back in HK... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
