Epik High Vol.5 Pieces, Part One

Epik High summarized in one word is "Genius". After 4 brilliant albums, Pieces, Part One is finally out (leaked, but you know, whatevs...) and it's awesome (actually I haven't even finished listening to it) but -

Woah. Listening to track 15 Usan. Sounds like Younha.
*Checks*
It is. Yay. I think I recognize voices well.

Some of the tracks echo the feel of songs from previous albums like White Night. The instrumentals reminds me of "Eternal Morning". There's a good mix of rap, hiphop, instrumentals... probably the reason for the album name as well, though there's also an unexpected amount of techno in it. What sets this apart from other albums, I think, is that it's everything the previous albums were; heavier than "High Society" but definitely not as dark as "Remapping the Human Soul". As always, there's the impressive lineup of collaborators on the album:Loveholic, Clazziquai, Younha. My favorite so far are tracks 4, 8, 13, 14, and 16.

This is the MV for One. OMG Tablo's hair...


Anyway, it's really good. You should listen to it. Yeah.
