Ah, hell with it: I just don't seem to be able to get away from that K-pop, do I? These guys have the audacity to claim they're a “rock band” (Wiki at least qualifies that as more “pop rock”, but still) and I feel I may be laughing at such a thing. God help me, but there are fourteen tracks on this! A bailout may be in order. Well, to be fair, it's not quite as bad as I had feared. There is much more of the pop rock here than the K-pop. In fact, I'm picking out tracks. “Man in a Movie” is very catchy indeed, as is “Letting Go” and the power ballad “I Would”. I mean, it's kind of like listening to the bastard children of Bon Jovi and Westlife, with all the horror that entails, but it's still far and away the best K-pop album I've listened to in a while. Really not half bad at all. Quite surprised.
