소녀시대 comeback album - The Boys

The Boys (English version)

After one year of absence, SNSD (少女时代, 소녀시대, Girls' Generation) attempts international market via their third album, The Boys, released on 19th October 2011.

Out of all songs in this album, I like "The Boys", "How Great Is Your Love" (봄날 ), "Sunflower", "OSCAR" and "Lazy Girl". The title song "The Boys" sounds very americanised but that's understandable since it is produced by Teddy Riley. At times, this song felt as though it can be a cheerleading song. "How Great Is Your Love" is a ballad and the girls sound best in this. "Sunflower" feels very 80ish, quite Bee-Gees like.. in other words; retro. "Lazy Girl" has a playful feel to it.

"How Great Is Your Love" lyrics was written by Sooyoung and Taeyeon wrote the lyrics for "Lazy Girl". Taeyeon is leader of the group while Sooyoung is better known as one the shikshins (食神) =P
