Finally, after waiting for 4 years, (which for me only a year) Taeyang's new album RISE has been released and I have to say that it is truly awesome! All 9 tracks are amazing and I'm totally hooked up with 1AM and Nose,Eyes,Lips. I just want to say a little bit about all of the songs but yeah, this is my opinion and if there's some of it that you guys not quite go along with, share it with me your thought. Sharing is caring after all. :)

Now, let's begin! *Jeng jeng jeng!!!* xp

1. Rise (Intro)
The song at the first was like telling people to get ready/excited for something, like waiting for something great to happen. And truly it does. The moment the lyrics came, I became kind off hyper. The beat is catching but not so strong which is one of my fave. I hope this can be a full song but, only an intro is fine. Just by listening to it already told me that the others track will be more awesome.

►I will give 4/5 for this.

2. Nose, Eyes,Lips
Should I say more about this? This song is really good! The soothing voice of Taeyang and the music make me want to cry. Trust me, it is really good and one of my favourite. I know that Taeyang is a good singer but his voice, the part where he went like aahh~ Wow! I'm amazed!! Full respect! xD
And the MV thought, have you guys watched it? It's creative and for the people who said that it is boring, come on what did you expect? That song just wants to show how good Taeyang can sing so putting scene or drama is not so necessary.

►5/5

3. Let Go
Hmm, the beginning is slow but it gradually change. Not my fav but still, it is good. However, it can't beat the 2nd one. But the part when, "Baby I won't let you go!" I like that. ;)

►3/5

4. 1AM
FINALLY!! I've been waiting for this! The catchy beat drives me crazy and I love Taeyang's voice. I don't know why but this song is more like him. Haha, sound weird? Maybe. But, I'm kinda disappointed because they change the part, "Ain't party like a part Bigbang don't stop." Instead they change it into something that is ..... less good than that. Gosh, I'm sad! Why would they change that?! >.< Truthfully, I fell for this song just because of that part. XP So I've been wondering, anyone knows why they change it?
However, I still love it. :)

►5/5

5.Stay With Me

My Gosh! My bias is in here! Jiyong-ah!!!! XD

*ahem ahem* Ok, back to the topic. (Sorry for my fangirling) I wonder if Taeyang is asking someone to 'stay with him'? Hehe, sorry. The song surely is different as we can hear GD raps at the beginning and almost half of the song. But of course Taeyang has his own part and once again, I have to praise his voice. ;) Should I be honest? No words to describe this song actually because I'm hooked up now with GD's voice so, sorry! xD

►4/5

6. Body

I have read some posts in Tumblr where people posted something about this song and they naughtily talked about the part where Taeyang sang,

"I got that body, You got that body,

Now you and me let's make somebody."

Lol, people should stop this already. But honestly, I thought the same thing too at first! XP
OK OK! STOP OK! Taeyang probably doesn't mean it like that, it's probably us. (Well, let's wait for the lyrics first then we can confirm it.)
Now talking about the song, the inserts of GD's Crayon ( you know, the swag swag and head to toe one) is like some seasoning which make the song more interesting and fun to listen. Not to mention the beat which make people like to party. Or, maybe Taeyang is talking about how good his body is? But saying make somebody though ... =="
I heard this one will have it owns MV. Hmm, I'll be waiting for it (concept). ;)

► 4/5

7. Throw Away

Uh, it's probably something wrong with the playlist cause it sounds 'exactly' like Rise. Maybe the site posted it wrong or it does the same. =="
Since I don't know, I'll pass for this.

8. This isn't it

Another one like the 2nd. This song is a good choice if you want to sleep. (kidding) The lyrics is good and yeah, I don't know how many times I have said this but Taeyang's voice is so awesome. Nothing more to say .... :)
* ahem ahem!* I'm probably adding this to my playlist for me to sleep at night. You know, like a lullaby. ;)

► 4/5

9. Love You To Death

Kinda interesting. I'm personally like this song as the sound is easy to listen even though this song is not a soothe one. Wonder who Taeyang is singing this to. ;p But, let's be honest over here. What's up with CL's voice? I'm sorry but, I laughed hearing it. (sorry) I thought it's a child voice. Lol, why would they tune it like that? But it is still good. I have to admit that Taeyang's English is good! When he sang the "I'm gonna love you to death" I'm impressed with his English. Good! :D

► 4/5

Alright! I'm done with my opinion for the album. Maybe there are some of it that didn't same with you guys but this is MY opinion so just get used to it, kay? You can definitely see that I like this album. The looooong delay seems to pay off. YG and Taeyang including the composers (and my Jiyongie oppa) have done a very excellant good job. Congratz!! :D
The second track reached all-kill in only like 11/13 hours like that. Amazing right?! I'm happy for Taeyang! >//< I hope the other two Mv's (1AM & Body) will be released soon. Can't wait to watch it.

The Sun has RISE! Make sure to support Taeyang FULLY because trust me, all of the songs are awesome. :)

So that's it. Share your opinion with me by commenting below. Let me read yors too. I'm sure you have something to say too about this album.

Till then, see you guys soon!
