T-ARA Moves On Up...

So I mentioned the other day that I'd just received a bunch of K-Pop CDs including Rainbow, SNSD and T-ara. Well, since then I've had a chance to give all of them a few good listens, and though all of them are good enough songs to satisfy, I have to say that T-ARA's "Temptastic" Album came ouf as the far-ahead winner...This album is just top notch AWESOME!
   Opening with the pounding Electronic dance tune YaYaYa, you knew this was going to be fun ride, (and O my aching car speakers were rumbling off their stands, SO Bass-Heavy!!!) Next came Wae Ireone (which gave off a REAL "SNSD" vibe for me!!!) and Ma Boo which featured those sultry vocals I love so much from them (a la Cry Cry), I thought it couldn't get any better,  but then came the song that solidified the deal for me: "Mollayo"!
    MAN! Mollayo is SUCH a CUTE, FUN and CATCHY song, I was smiling from ear to ear with its pure pop perfection! I've never gotten more happiness out of a breakup romance song ever! LOL! Man, I can't explain why, but Mollayo may be one of my favorite T-ARA songs ever! 
  Closing with the power  ballad "Gwaenchanhayo" and you've got yourself a nicely wrapped up K-pop masterpiece! Throw in Temptastic's wonderful packaging, hardcover booklet and color pictures and you're solid! 
   Ever since falling in love with their song "Naega Neomu Apa (I'm Really Hurt) and then subsequently falling in love with their Breaking Heart album, T-ARA has consistently surpried me at how much "quality" is put into each album, all the songs are so darn good! I'm not a big fan listening to Japanese versions of K-pop songs I'd already learned in Korean (and vice versa), I am diligently waiting for their "Jewelry Box" Japan release coming out in a few weeks, mostly to see the live DVD that's coming with it! It's a good time to be a T-ara fan (heck, it's a great time to be into K-Pop!)
