[Track 1 - Too Ji (Git It Up)]

What I think is most appealing about this entire track is just that person being shot in the beginning! Everyone I know who loves this song says that is mostly the reason why. The music starts with a rap from Hee Jun -- are you dancing yet? At least twitching unnaturally? The one "So I can cut your T dripping all the P" I think might be an error, but either way, they censor this line in the video. The hardcore raps from Woo Hyuk and Jaewon are soothed by the sweet vocals of Hee Jun and Kang Ta, but not in an annoying way either. Most songs that are rough and gruff such as this one I always feel are ruined by the "softer" parts, but this one seems to be good enough to overlook that. If you are first getting into KPOP ... this song might scare you. Or at least that's what people tell me. I love it. I believe there are also two versions of this song, because the words on the CD are different than the ones of the MP3 at one part -- hmm, suspicious. Are H.O.T saying dirty things again!?

.

[Track 4 - Iyah! ]

Ask anyone you know, you would never guess this song was about kindergarten children being killed in a fire. (Unless you were Korean and understood the words, of course.) There is one significant line though, "You won't be burning my kids" in English that might give it away. This song is mostly quick rapping, quick ANGRY rapping! I actually think there is a lot of English in this song... The song is basically entertaining to the very end, when you get a very big surprise if you're listening for the first time. XD "From the rooftop I might snipe ya!" Rahhh! Anger! I feel ANGER! ...See, isn't that a song's job? To get the feelings across the listener? LET'S GO DESTROY THINGS! RAHH! Whoops, there I go again. -- I think I am having too much fun on this song. It is an H.O.T classic and is on my Top 5 favorite H.O.T songs ... AIYAHHHHH!!! AIYAHHHH!! AIYAHHHH!!! AIYAHHHH! AHEM! Next track!

[Track 6 - The Way That You Like Me]

Well ... this'll get the juices flowing. This song sounds very ... sexual. Mmhmm. -Cough, nervous shifting in seat- So yeah, how's the weather? Really, is that so? YOU KNOW WHAT! THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE LET JAEWON AND WOO HYUK SPEAK IN ENGLISH! It sounds to good to a fangirl to me ... anyway, this song is very slow and sensual-sounding. Good voice from Kangta and Tony, not the best from Hee Jun. Did I mention this song is like, really sexual?! Tonight...is the night... x_x *Sings along* HEY YOO YOUNG JIN WROTE THIS SONG!! THAT EXPLAINS IT!!

.

[Track 7 - My Girl]

Now this one was always an H.O.T song I was never very fond of. It's perky. I mean, there is something about all the twinkles and squeaky sounds you hear in the music behind them that bugs me. I like the smooth rap midpoint, and the chorus sounds really good, but other than that, this song isn't anything special. Good vocals from Tony. *^.^* Monkaaay...

.

[Track 8 - 8.15]

I don't know what this track is about, but it sounds great. It starts with the haunting voice of a little girl, then fades to an angelic sounding Hee Jun. It's amazing how well all of them sing in this song. One of Hee Jun's best, I think. For some reason this song reminds me of a rainy day -- but like I said, I have no idea what it is about. I like how it automatically rises from Woo Hyuk's rap up to Kangta's high notes. -Bobs her head- This song really does rock, I'm not sure why they never got more appreciation for it. Wait, I heard something about a mother! Or I could be crazy! Hee Jun wrote this song, no wonder it's so great. The song ends awesomely ... just a little trickling guitar sound that doesn't match the song. I love it!

.

[Track 10 - Korean Pride]

If anyone tells you this song is less than a masterpiece, they are WRONG. Despite Tony's use of the word n*gga, this song is one of H.O.T's best as well --- and quite honestly, the reason I bought this CD. From the guitar, to the lyrics, to the overall performance, this song just takes all the cakes in the freaking world and eats them! Yes, lots of cakes for H.O.T! Written and composed by Tony, it makes me wonder why he doesn't write more songs. {He also wrote Natural Born Killers from the 5th album; another great song} HEAR - THIS - SONG - NOW! I will send it to you personally, just send me an e-mail. "The greed of one person thins the blood of many." I love that quote ~ KOREAN PRIDE!

.

[Track 12 - Do Or Die]

Written, composed and arranged by Jang Woo Hyuk. When I first heard this song, I was really attracted to it. It made me want to dance! Eventually, I grew tired of it. It's not the most interesting song to listen to, but one of the most interesting to see performed for Woo Hyuk's amazing dance skill. Little known fact: In the chorus he is saying, "b*tch she got me six feet under, I'm about to bring the thunder." And he did say bullshit, you aren't crazy. Heheheh. None of them sound exceptionally good in this song.

.

[Track 14 - Celebrate]

Zzz.. Zzz... Zzzz... Zzzzzzz... ....rgh..snf...mmphf...Zzzz...

.

[Track 16 - Soul]

TECHNO! -Wakes Up- Woohoo! Go Hee Jun! It's yo' birthday! Go Hee Jun! It's yo' birthday! Hold on, I need to stop freak dancing my chair to write this review. -Turns Up Volume- Shake that A$$! Shake that A$$! Basically, Hee Jun sounds super in this song, namely on the high notes he hits in the chorus. The talking in English by Tony sounds really freaking cool. Basically, this song is really freaking cool. I really need to stop dancing, puhahaha. This isn't classic H.O.T -- it's awesome H.O.T. It's the good dance music they are known for. I was so happy when I bought this CD to find this song on here because I had seen Hee Jun perform and thought it was wicked. And it is! Go! Go download!

.

[Track 18 - PU HA HA]

Oh, the irony. The next track is Pu Ha Ha. Many KPOP fans, when asked what is by far the WEIRDEST Kpop song they have heard, will answer "Pu Ha Ha!" But you must admit, the laugh Puhahahahaha is pretty catchy! It starts out with them having a conversation and bursting out into Puhahas. You can't help but laugh. ^x^ This song probably includes every sound effect in the world, literally. 'Eh heh heh heh heh'! Some interesting lyrics too! Jaewon wrote this song -- what a weirdo -- I love him. XD This song is virtually impossible to sing. I really think so, even for them!

.

[Track 20 - It's Been Raining Since You Left Me]

-Comes back from taking a poop, PU HA HA still playing- Oh, I also forgot to mention that Pu Ha Ha is also about 7 minutes long, lol. Anyway, this song is sweet! It's one of those bob your head, wiggle your butt kind of songs. Maybe even snap your fingers. I would give this song a 9 if I were rating on a 1 to 10 scale. The English bits in the song are the best part I think. "Baby I'm not ready to live my life steady, without my lady ... don't cry baby." I just think the way he says Don't cry baby sounds so neato! Kangta wrote this song. -Pats Kangta- Good boy.

.

[Track 22 - Forever Song]

Squeak! Happy! Bounce! Jemu is bouncing! Geez, this song sounds impossible to sing to too! Jaewon wrote it. *HUGGLES JAEWON* WAH! This is another one of those songs where I am hesitating to write the review because I'm dancing too much. You should just see my foot shaking. x_x Everyone sounds so good in this song! Bounce! Happy! Yay! -Dance, Dance!- Just ... yeah, cute song! ^______^ Wee! Back to dancing! Na Na Na ~ It just gets better, doesn't it?

.

[Track 24 - Together, Forever]

Now I'm going Wah because I'm sad. This song is definately a song that will remind fans of the promise that H.O.T made to stay together. The singing is beautiful, very heartfelt. As happy as this song sounds, I think it is always going to make me sad. If you watch the 1999 concert where Hee Jun breaks his back midway through the concert, they were all crying when only four of them had to sing the song. Well, they weren't all crying -- they had teary eyes, Kangta wasn't singing his notes and he had red eyes and Jaewon bursted into tears. ;_; Wahhh~ H.O.T Forever! Pretty song ... if you don't cry first.
