Breaking Down: Super Junior M's 2nd Album

Super Junior M just released their new album "Break Down" and listening to their album was a big relief especially to fans who seems to have been fed lately by lackluster songs from SUPER JUNIOR.

1. BREAK DOWNThe title track BREAK DOWN is a house-electro song filled with synth and some dubstep music. Its addictive melody and  should I say, awesome choreography would make any fan wish that this could have been included in a Super Junior Korean album. Props to SM and its Swedish composers/producers in developing SM's house of music.


Listening to other tracks of the album such as those composed by member Henry Lau (Go and It's You), Oneway's A-oh! are also cohesive to the feel of the title track.

 

The other songs in the album includes the ballad, Goodbye My Love and the RnB song, Tunnel. Both songs are filled with sweet melodies which features the members vocal abilities without straining or overpowering the notes which eventually gives off a relaxing feeling to the listener.

Stand UP is another track from the album that can be well related to a usual Cpop music. The drums during the prelude is a trademark of a true Mandarin song- injecting traditional music in a pop song which makes it Asian in flavor.

Zhoumi's solo track, Distant Embrace is a ballad which features the singer's sweet and lengthy vocal range. Surely, this song would wholeheartedly penetrate a listener's heart.

As a whole, contrary to the group's previous releases, this is an album worth listening to in its entirety without having to select only few good songs.Its a generic pop music infused with Mandarin punch through some strings and percussions which reminds a listener that despite of its Kpop vibe, it should be taken as part of the Cpop industry.

Super Junior M’s Break Down album is like listening to a good SJ (KOR) album. Nice tracks,no trash music. BEST SUPER JUNIOR ALBUM so far. 

Rating: 5/5.
