It's too hard for me to rank Jay's albums because all of them have at least 3-5 songs that I really love. "Ye Hui Mei" is definitely near the top of his work, though. It really showcases his creativity and his desire to challenge himself to come up with a new sound.

I've starred my favorites, but actually all of these songs are excellent.

Tracklist

1. In The Name Of The Father * - he sings about the mafia lifestyle; has a lot of Italian influence in it; beautiful song (and you can check out the MV on youtube, it's amazing)

2. Coward - Catchy rock song. Jay raps really well on this one.

3. Clear Day * - The best song on this album. A BEAUTIFUL ballad and one of my favorite Jay songs

4. Third Year, Class Two * - Endlessly creative. This song is about ping pong and you can hear the ping pong ball bouncing in the background. Nice beat and very addictive.

5. East Wind Breaks - another nice ballad with catchy chorus

6. You Can Hear - nice melody

7. The Same Kind Of Tune - catchy dance + R&B beat

8. Her Eyelashes - another foray into alternative music; love the guitar playing in this song!

9. Cliff Of Love - another catchy ballad

10. Rice Field - this one has great lyrics

11. Double Blade * - Terrific rock/alternative song. Makes you want to get up and dance. Combines ancient-style Chinese music too to a wonderful and unique effect. (The music video for this song is the best one Jay has ever made, imo. Go find it on youtube; I've never seen him look cooler than he does in the MV for this song)

My first real taste of Chinese pop, I'm enjoying this album quite a bit!

I speak a tiny bit of Chinese, I'm trying to learn it, and I like foreign music, so I bought this CD. It's the first time I've listened to Jay Chou, I heard about him from watching 'the Curse of the Golden Flower', in which he did a really good job (cool movie).

The music style is pop with a touch of rap, I found the songs catchy, some of them surprisingly pretty. A few are slow, wishy-washy boring, but for the most part I liked the music. A good buy.

One of the two CD cases arrived damaged although the exterior packaging was intact. The music itself is great.
