   Super Junior is another male group involved in Kpop that I will always tune into.  I'm over here looking like a hypocrite most of the time because of the select few Kpop bands that I grew up listening to. These bands could have a hundred comebacks to music and I will be there for each one even as a non Kpop fan. Well as long as the music is to my taste. Super Junior became on of there Kpop bands when I found their music on Youtube in the early 2000s. That was back when Youtube had the star rating system….. Gosh, many of you don't even know what the hell I'm talking about. Youth is a great thing isn't it? Well, Super Junior continues to be timeless with a comeback that was long overdue. The men held off the comeback due to the members having to serve military service for South Korea(All male citizens are required to serve military service by age thirty.) Play comes as the group's 8th album to date. Their huge worldwide fanbase could not be happier. Welcome back guys.

   Play in all honesty feels like the boys have never left. Whether you are a new or old fan, Suju are the kings of getting their listener's asses off the couch for a freestyle dance of your own. None will judge your dancing skills of course….. Yeah Yeah. I just might but the boys are on a mission to make you look like a damn clown. The album starts out in full up beat glory. Black Suit's instrumental came straight out of the Jazz clubs using in sync saxophones that sound clearly with the baseline beat.   One of the big themes for the music of Play was funkadelic pop tunes. Each track took on a piece of the album since each track added an ounce of power to the over all production. All the tracks are pretty up beat except for a few such as One More Chance. Slower songs are not a damper on the album on bit and I'm glad producers too precautions to choose ballads that didn't cause the album to lose momentum. Acoustic guitars mixed with a pop undertone join Play in a harmonious fashion which could be heard in One More Chance. I was super happy that Play was so epic. Black suit joins perfectly in collection with their other hits like Sorry Sorry and Mr. Simple without a doubt.

   Damn! Hearing all of them again singing together gave me chills. Their harmonies took me back to my middle school and high schools days. Lets just give these guys a hand for coming back in tip top form. Not a sign that either of them felt awkward because of the time away. All of them instead fit together like it was meant to be. A long career being with one another will do that to musical artists….. The truly talented ones anyways.

  Play was a great album from a Kpop band that proves that they still have shit going on. I'm always a happy listener of pop music when the music is GOOD. Super junior better do their THANG[INSERT ME LAUGHING.]!
