We've mustered together some online
reviews of the album/track here:

Freddie's (slightly biased) review

|
On the tune
|
It's pretty OK (ahem...)! Though in our "friends test", it had the lowest average score among all the songs on our demo CD. Strangely enough, it was the only song that was picked (by multiple publishers). Must be the teeny-bopper appeal?! | |
|
On the lyrics |
Even though my Chinese isn't that good, I thought it was pretty OK (ChaBuDuo!). It's cute, and fitted well to the tune. Especially the chorus part, where the lyricist stuck to our "o - o - o -o" bit with the Mandarin lyrics "doh Cha Bu Duo- o - o - o - o". Catchy, that ChaBuDuo... |

On the production (by Jim Lee)
|
I was impressed with the production
on this track: clean and crisp rhythm section especially. Jim had mentioned
that he kept it "raw", which meant throwing a couple of musicians
into a room and cutting it pretty much live. The only negative comment
I have is that the thrashing guitars were a bit too heavy for my liking,
and the main riff they played (not on the original demo) weren't too
interesting neither. And I was disappointed that the guitar solo was
just a repeat of the intro riff. The guitars in the chorus were excellent
however. Our version had a more boppy verse with a jumpier bassline.
I guess Jim was trying to "masculinize" the song by making it less boppy
and girly. And perhaps the less funky verse was a better contrast to
the happy chorus, making the chorus stand out more. I was actually impressed
by Aaron's singing on this track and in the whole CD in general. The
backing vocals were decent also - brilliant extra-bar lead-in to the
chorus.

On the MTV Video
|
Cute video, though obviously very Asian in genre. Suitable for the market I guess. Aaron looked good in it, though my attention was somewhat distracted by the digital doll in the tight pants! | |
|
On the other tracks on the album
|
I liked track 3 "Sorry I loved you" a lot. Cool groove. Title track 1 "Journey" was excellent also. Tracks 2 , 8, and 9 were"nice". The rest were OK but a notch below. Hated track 5 "Go For It"... | |
|
On the dancing game
|
Hadn;t tried it myself yet, but I hear it's all the rage over there. I think I would fall over a lot ... | |
