Seriously, how can someone choose Vision out of so many beautiful English names? Dunno. When I first saw Vision I didn't know who's that. And then I read his name is Wei Chen and something was clearer. Then I got it. He had a song with Alan! That was it. When Alan released her Chinese album and there was song with him, I looked thru the net and searched a little bit about him.
If there is something to say about the album on the whole - there are two things. First, that there is a big medley of styles - everyone will find something good. Second that it's a good album.
The album starts with dance tunes of course - 千方百计. Very good song. Also as tradition continues the next song is a ballad - 我想爱. Not my cup of tea. But 向日葵的微笑 is much better with some guitar. Then some r'n'b 温存记忆 and another ballad 过客. Yeah, the ballads are boring. 酸酸甜甜 is better, but still... And again - rockish style in 女捕快. Great track. Some boredom with 流星雨又来临 and fast to my fave I Don't Cry. Simply amazing song. Skipping 疯人愿 which is another ballad to 二十三. It also is a ballad, but different this time. Listenable I guess. Enclosing - 梦的怒放. Ballad with pretty guitars. There's also a hidden track but it can remain hidden for me... They shouldn't give ballads as the last tracks. It makes you sleepy. Especially if you listen to it in the evening.
It may seem that I wrote so much about how boring the ballads are so the album isn't good. That's not true. The album IS good. The faster songs overshadowed ballads I guess. Coz I enjoyed the album. True, that when I listen to it I skip the ballads and I practically listen only one half of the album but... It's the better half and I like it.
