The brand new second album of Seo Taiji hit the market Friday morning. As expected, his new album is full of songs differentiated from the existing pop songs.
Seo¡¯s own personality melted Indian, psychedelic, hardcore, industry and techno music are all melted into his songs. Destroying the barrier of genre, his new songs feature harmony between the reactionary tendency and the state-of-the-art, while the Oriental and Western music cross with each other.
The new album, on the whole, has a strong guitar distortion and ever-changing features. He inserted scratches in the middle of the songs, adding the techno feeling. Seo¡¯s singing style has changed to a rather tough and powerful one.
The new album contains nine songs with the playing time of 31 minutes and 57 seconds. Regardless of the sales volume, Seo¡¯s second album is evaluated as introducing a new music style to the Korean pop song world.
