Oh! Gee Girls’ Generation! This comeback is GG*. You are all definitely genies for bringing the boys out with an amazing comeback song! You see what I did there? For those of you who do not know, SM Entertainment s Girls Generation (a.k.a. SNSD) released their third Korean album The Boys on October 19, 2011.

 Their comeback song The Boys was amazing? Well, it’s true. The beat and melody was spot on. People say it’s a new approach to their old catchy and addictive songs but still, I think it’s addictive. Along with a great producer like Teddy Riley, this is probably one of the top comeback songs for me. Teddy Riley is without doubt a great composer but fans shouldn’t t rely on his name too much. Riley is like the icing on the cake. The cake, which is the girls, is what’s important. In addition, have you seen the music video? The girls looked gorgeous. Their dance, synchronization, and everything in the video was top notch. 

If this album was a roller coaster ride, The Boys would be a thrilling high drop right down to flat land. And this flat land is the rest of the songs in the album with just a few exciting drops here and there. Telepathy and Say Yes were simply upbeat pop songs, nothing new; in fact, there are similar ones that can be found in previous albums. My J sounded like it was taken straight out of an Asian drama series (I wouldn’t t put it pass them to use it for a drama) but it was a decent song nonetheless. It’s nice to see the girls take on songwriting/composing opportunities, the better to showcase the girls numerous talents. Sooyoung tried her hand at writing the lyrics for How Great Is Your Love. However, the melody of the song was too simple that it didn’t t stand out on its own unlike Sunflower
