01 - It's Gonna be Me
This is like. perfect. We're an awesome boyband. We even have manrii names, Danny, Spiro, Meron, Mano, Meron, Justine... -hides- It does get a bit pitchy, especially in the choruses but. I really don't care. WE'RE A 90s BOYBAND. WE DO WHAT WE WANT, AND WE WANT IT THAT WAY. /is lame
02 - Alice or Guilty
THIS MIGHT JUST BE MY FAVOURITE OKAY. This is just so... hnng. It oozes sexiness. You guys brought it and I love how this turned out so much. I even got to try out some stuff when I was mixing with distortion ;D And just the speaking parts. ahhh. The group parts all blend together so damn well too. I need to stop gushing about how I love this xD
03 - Mr Simple
aka the one I had to remix last minute. It's kinda getting me how when I mean 'Manrii' I mean cheesy and over the top, but this and Alice or Guilty turned out anything but. I ended up copy/pasting a lot of the 'alright!' bits so it was fuller. Yin pretty much owned this one, and I was so proud with how everyone went with the Korean. Also big thanks to Yujing and Mero for stepping up to cover people!
04 - That Hyadain one
THERE'S SO MANY LAYERS TO THIS. Spiral did the timing for this, and I just added effects/mastered it. This went back and forth between the two of us a lot, but we got it there xD! I'm not even going to mention the nickname we gave it I just really like this one, unlike the others it actually sounds happy xD The autotuning was funnnn~ xD
05 - I'll Make a Man out of you
OH GOD THIS SONG. MIXING THIS WAS A PAIN, MAN. I should have gotten you to record to the instru, it was only slightly different, but just enough that working out timing in some places was driving me mad xD and the little one or two syllables that were slightly different to everyone else in a whole group part? ha. haha. hahaha. -cries- but every time I listen to that big ending it was all worth it <33
Sorry I don't have anything more specific to say, and pointing out people and being constructive etc. but I've just heard these so many times by now I'm too used to how everything sounds xD; BUT. I'm super happy with how this turned out even if it is way late, okay. <33

We sure sound...manly! GO SC MANLY MEMBERS!
I must ask. How did you layer the effect for our vocal track in the Hyadain and Mulan song?
Got the ladies vocals down so low~ Nice touch there, lilmenchi~!

It's Gonna Be Me
This one definitely turned out as one of the best, so manly. I'm sorry, but let me just bask in the manliness of this song. Though, like Mama said, some bits were a bit pitchy. But still a great cover, nonetheless.
Alice or Guilty
First of all Kusa-niichan, I did not ruin the song by singing that first few lines an octave higher. Second of all, asdfgh. Third of all, this song is beautiful and oozes smex(iness). Especially Kusa-niichan's whisper line thingy mabober thingo yeah. *faints*
Mr. Simple
Mah baby~ It was a bit pitchy in the beginning and some bits. Yin was just, asdfghj. Yin, can I marry your voice in Mr. Simple? Please? It's so beautiful. Some parts of the coding was awkward, I'm sorry, that was my fault. But it was beautiful. The rap was amazing~ <3 Easily the best track in the album. Totally not biased or anything
Girlfriend something or other
Yin and Oniichan. Yin's high notes and Oniichan at the beginning in the convo thing. It was beautiful. And the robotic affect autotuny thingo was so cool. I loved this thing. It also sounded so happy compared to the other ones. And then there is Mr. Simple just there being neutral. xD
I'll Make a Man Out of You
OMG Yin's speaking-ish
line. I fell off my chair laughing. Couldn't tell you had a lot of problems with this, Mama. I love your mixing. So manly. And totally loved it. <3
Gangnam Style would have totally fit with your 'cheesy' thing. Just sayin~ <3 "Dress classy, dance cheesy." As PSY says. xD
Overall, this album was definitely good and worth the wait. <3

01 – It’s Gonna be Me
This is the first time I’ve really got to hear NY’s voice oddly enough. Good job. And Spiral and Meno; I’ve only heard the two of you singing higher and softer. I am pleasantly surprised. You two are just… wow. All of you did very well. I vaguely know the song and didn’t care for the original, but I had a lot of fun listening. I’m glad to be working with all of y’all~
02 Alice or Guilty
First, my obligatory harassment: Geez, Kuririn. Couldn’t hit the original octave. Way to go. (LOL, Nah, just ragging on you) This turned out better than I thought! xD I was afraid that my vocals would ruin it since I recorded while sick. The layering of vocals and distortion was done well, and sounds really good. And there is a lot of Mama in it. What else could I ask for? xD
03 – Mr. Simple
I can’t Korean so… -applauds- This is one of the first things I’ve heard Kuririn and/or Yujing sing in, and they both did very well. Once again, Yin’s voice amazed me. I really like these types of songs for Mama’s voice. I think we need her to head a sexy group or something. Oh, wow, that came out to sound… interesting, didn’t it?
04 – Hyadain
It’s a fun and gimmicky song, but I felt the change of some of the lyrics to “boyfriend” was a bit much and seemed to stray from the album theme. It made the song more confusing for me, but the performance was done well. I really enjoyed Yin’s higher lines, and the ladies did a great job during the chorus. I’m actually a little sad that I didn’t sign up for this song when I had the chance. xD
05 – I’ll Make a Man Out of You
I have to get this out of the way first: Dammit, Yin. I forgot that you sang it like that. xD Now, I have to say that I really liked Suky’s harmonies in the trios toward the end. This looked like it was death to mix. I’m glad I didn’t add to the workload. xD;
Everyone did a great job~ I’m happy to be working with everyone. Y’all are awesome~

All the good timing of the mixes was appreciated. Especially in the Hyadain one. Props to both mixers. =v=b You don't know how much tempo and timing means to me...

It’s Gonna be me
Loved the spirit in this one. Everyone sounded like they were into it and when everyone sang at the same time, it sounded amazing. My only criticism is that scattered about throughout the song, there were some sour notes but overall this song was great.
Alice or Guilty
Again, like the It’s Gonna be me, the unison parts sounded really cool. Either I’m just getting used to it but I think mic qualities are becoming less of a blaring issue. Just as a personal preference, I wasn’t quite in to this song; not saying you guys didn’t sing well but this song in general I’m not too in to.
Mr. Simple
While listening, I had the strong feeling I was going to really like this one, partially because I love the original so much. Something about this album but I just can’t get enough of our unison, I think it’s just because I’ve been away for so long. Everyone did great in this one, I don’t think anyone went flat on any notes, so very well done. I quite love this one.
Is this what it's supposed to be like to have a girlfriend? (<-- Copied and pasted)
Really feeling the auto-tune effect on our voices here, it felt really cool to hear. The lyric change to better fit the females was a little strange to hear but I can look past my own bias there. But it may just be my own ego acting up but I absolutely loved this one. Hearing myself hit the really high note still surprises me and hearing my underlying harmonies everywhere is just feeding my ego until it’s nice and fat. Quite possibly my favorite on this release.
I’ll Make a Man Out of You
Just putting this out there, the song itself is kinda out of place in this album, but that’s unimportant. Overall, (excuse me because I’m about to get a little serious about it) I don’t think everyone understand the feeling of the song, excluding the spoken parts. The song is supposed to be questioning the manliness of the “men” that was sent to Shang and in the beginning he’s making them feel degraded, he’s actually a bit disgusted at what he sees and some people sound like they have the wrong emotion or just not angry enough. But I’ll get off that topic.
I quite literally laughed out loud when the song got to my spoken part, good God I was so out of place. Besides the one criticism, this song was great if not awkwardly included.
