...oh, how I love the formalityI have to say I was a tad disappointed with this one. I think I expected too much from them, they had beautiful music in
PALABAS and from there on I thought they will continue with their mix of musical styles in one album. Just first time hearing
BITIW, I guessed there will be a different
SPONGE COLA this time.
They headed to a "rock-ish, up-beat" vibe this time (Let's say a 160 degree turn from
PALABAS). They had more Tagalog songs too, which I like by the way. I was complaining that they should've put more Tagalog songs in
PALABAS. But.. Yael's feelings can be expressed better in English...
NEON perhaps? or
GEMINI..
TO THE SLY and THE CUNNING anyone?
But still a good album nonetheless. I hate comparing this to the 1st one... but
PALABAS is really a good one. You should look out for
MOVIE,
DO YOU KNOW THE FEELING,
ALL WE NEED,
NOCTURNE and
PASUBALI (even though this one's quite cheesy).
★★★☆☆
Here's a little something: One of my favorite tracks.. [
DO YOU KNOW THE FEELING ]
