The title says it all. Is anyone listening to it? Any ideas on the album as a whole? Future of Jay Chou's career? Favorite songs?

Do you mean capicorn? I just downloaded it and i think it's one of his better albums. There's less rap than usual which is good considering how I hate his rap. He uses this weird mystical/indian sounding theme over and over again which is kind of unique. The album shines the most during his slower pop songs

edit: I did not download the album because that would be piracy and I don't do that stuff. D:

"Taiwan's prince of Mando-pop Jay Chou merges music with the art of sorcery on his latest album, Capricorn, named after his own Zodiac sign. As Jay is especially adept in card tricks, his ninth full-length album features a retro poker card design. Jay appears in a playful double jack of spades image to match his two new songs "Magic" and "Clown". Jay's new principal song Dao Xiang ("Rice Fragrance") returns to the basic elements of music. Penned and composed by Jay, the song revolves around childhood experiences in a small village, and uses simple rhythm and natural sounds, including that of cicadas, accompanied by folk guitar and hip-hop beats."

1. 魔杰座
2. 女兒紅
3. 東方之殿
4. 紅樓夢中
5. 失戀的青蛙
6. 失落非主流
7. 從新愛
8. 大灌藍
9. 達芬奇的畫布
10. 小丑
11. 稻香

I just watched Kung Fu Dunk. I knew this from Initial D, but he's a horrible actor. I don't listen to his songs much either...

You Can Hear (你聽得到)
Love Before the Century (愛在西元前)

Yea, I am listening to it. I like 稻香, probably the best song from his new album.

oh...it was confirmed that several of the track titles are not correct. JVR (Jay's company) also said that several of the songs are incomplete. But the songs are really good so far! 紅樓夢中

This is the most exciting time for Mandarin music: SHE, Jay Chou, Leehom, Jolin, JJ Lin are all slated to release new albums soon!
