milubing | 11 November, 2009 18:39

MLB is truly thankful for the comments and feedback from all you people. Good and bad, we'll take them and continue to strive for improvement. Enjoy the music!





Helloo to all!! Got your babies? Hehe..


Updates.. We will be in a press conference at the above timing and location. It's a semi closed door event and those that come won't be able to stand right in front of us like the norm, as reporters will be taking those seats and areas (but Jasmin says you can always be on the above levels or somewhere near!!) Wow.. loop holes aye..


Do drop by if you guys wanna hear us talk about the album and stuffs.. (Not playing music this time round but soon!)


Cheerios!


UPDATED PLS TAKE NOTE : DATE CHANGED TO 17th not 16th!

wow great, that means we're can stand and listen?

anyway the album no MV?

 

Anonymous weiqi | 11 November, 2009 19:08

wa! suddenly so many comments ah!
Thanks for all the super sweet feedback as well as constructive ones! MLB is open to criticism, there's always room for improvement de. Not intending to stop at 3 babies... :)
I need to address some questions and statements made in the previous post, but first I'd like to quote Jess!
"umm, even if they're only involved in the music area, but it is still their music that makes up the full album. without their music , designs wouldnt matter. so yep, we still support the album no matter if they design the album cover or not."
I think this statement rocks, and it made my day!!! Thanks Jess!

To Shuhui, regarding the logo at the corner the answer is a 'yes' and a 'no', because yes I came up with it together with my friend Gareth, but then the final look of the logo is not my decision. And anonymous is correct to say that I'm not involved in the artwork. I 'was' working on it till a certain point only.

I hope everyone here can continue to support the album whether or not I was involved in the artwork, because the music is the MAIN thing! oki? :D

Meanwhile, hope u all find the babies u r looking for and hope that they bring u joy and happiness! (wow,i sound like a fortune cookie...)

I got a BIG assignment to hand up tmr, so gotta MIA le, jiayo peeps!

JOL, there are 2 MVs shot, but quite unfortunately, they are not in the album. But well, I'm sure we will all get to see them soon de! I not sure how, maybe KTV? :p will find out and post here when we know. :)

Sorry to those who haven't got it.. soon k k? will be island wide very pretty soon!

Yes Yin Shi Nan Nu!! My fave this time round ain't the rock songs but the slow ones.. coz each song has a story behind as said.. and the slow ones are kinda heart wrenching.. sniff sniff..

Love the lyrics.. when MV is out we all cry together k k.. director say he cut the rough cuts wanna cry haha..

FRESH! but such a waste its dangling half way! i like the small bits and pieces behind the sounds like the beat box and the strums of guitar! totally cool aye!

For info...
Sembawang has only two outlets left - Raffles City & Plaza Sing.
Both are having clearance sales. New releases are NOT available at both the stores.

[d stupid salesgirl at RC did not tell me the one at PS is also having clearance sales. Why would I need to know if there is another outlet selling the SAME (old) stock?!?!? @#$)*&!^$%#_!!]

 

Anonymous someone | 12 November, 2009 09:30

to anonymous,

just fyi as well, it was on the news that sembawang is closing down and having clearance sales at its remaining stores, therefore it's understood that they will not be bringing in new releases.

please do take note of your language, you really have no right to call people stupid since you were the one who did not read the news.

not trying to start war here, just want to point out for the innocent salesgirl at RC sembawang who missed out on giving the info. PEACE.

 

Anonymous Janelle | 12 November, 2009 10:36

Got my album yesterday and listened to it on repeat until latelate. But I'm loving it! Best work so far, guys! All the songs are nice! (: I like love songs. And the photos in the album booklet all veryvery shuai~~ Especially like the red sentences below the lyrics! Meaningful ((:

Keep up the good work, guys! Supporting you all the way!

Yea PEACE. Thank you for the encouragements people! And i know that the picture on the left is pretty unusual, like i had won a million dollars.

 

Blogger -WHEY` | 12 November, 2009 11:41

ha, i still haven't manage to get a peek at the album! :/

i went to sembawang at ps yesterday and i realised that it was clearance as well, and i heard from others that the other sembawang closed down alr :/ so i guess sembawang wouldnt carry the new babies

chill people! we'll get it today if we didn't manage to get it ytd! :D

just curious, has anyone seen any advertisement or form of media coverage for the boys regarding the 3rd album? seems to be very quiet. this is worrying becoz it is the same reason why their 2nd album didn't do well. and the album is out already le but many of my friends don even know. i think mlb always very poor thing, got talent but no coverage.

 

Anonymous shihui | 12 November, 2009 14:30

weiqi,
thank you for ur info. =D

ii am jz admiring the album cover since ii haven got my MEAL yet, but SOON! AND of cos, MLB's music is what we focus on which ii fully agree with JESS, and then we will overlook on the packaging and such. sorry, ii am acting sensitive when ii was reading a tag by an anonymous. pardon me, PEACE!

ii am continue hunting for the album later on right after work, a wasted trip ytd ii went to Sembawang music at PS and Gramophone at Cathay. SAD! =(

didnt noe that Sembawang music are closing down, only tot that some outlets are affected. well, ii shall find a right place to have my MEAL soon!

cheers, peeps!

 

Blogger NICOLETTE! | 12 November, 2009 14:31

popular outlets cd section which is cdrama, some of th stores haven't display th albums out yet. you'll need to ask the counter or th staff there for it.

 

Blogger thy | 12 November, 2009 20:39

@xinmin: good luck!

@baby: u would have to rename them urself i guess..

i'll have to say, the cd rama staffs are biased. they put mlb's album between those big big albums and all, then mlb's album CANT SEE !! they shld put it on the front display tables ! i had to ask the staff for it also lo. they shld promote mlb more ! support local band ma =p

Though many grievances.. but can see one thing in common.. the music is appreciated.. no matter which tracks you guys favourited.. Thank you all!

One nice and meaningful quote from Ugly Betty..

"Sometimes you cant get more, so you just have to take what you get.."

What ever the future gives to us from this point on will not be in our hands.. we did our music with a whole heart.. let's all pray that this album does well and bring us to higher ground.. to be able to perform for more ppl.. for a longer time :)

Alot of ppl's money (investors and personal) and effort are on this... so we'll hope to see this one well received.

Its easy to write every song the same.. but an album like this.. each song so different and unique.. just hope ppl would see the sweat behind it all ba..

Gambette to the promo team! It's show time!

Tat pic...sam, CANDY can be ur middle name..U can proudly own it for now..

Contradiction is this album--ur strengths can be ur weaknesses. 3 diff personality -> given wider dimension -> yet need to compromise a lot to blend in -> fear of personal glory -> lack of strong personality

I ask "what do you want?" "whr do u wanna be?"

sweet cute looking faces? or a band with a strong element--attitude?

i can like this album a piece of art--tracks aint melody ear-friendly pops..yet it has its originality

i can dislike this album as it's aint catchy rhythm..

if u stand between this two line, u ain't giving the creator respects..u ought to be brave to decide..

revolves alot in sound synesthesia..

Track 1...a bit like song for the national day parade...ya it's meant outroar...i think to add on English lyrics and it's v YOG...aspiration...committee can consider this for 2010 YOG

Track 3...i could hear the bubbles flying up and gyrate around in the air..yet evaporate into thin air...the arrangement is a STAR

Track 4...flaunting a lot sound synesthesia ya...FLAUNT!

Track 5...this is something which i always wanna say...rock ballade...the accompanied of piano and drums v impt to create the climate..thought nic shld buck up bowel stamina to handle this track...good combination with crescendo piano and drums at the end..vocals sound better at the end ...benchmark Andy Hui canto, 让爱, a good one, the drums and piano combination is superb!..can't find good audio on youtube though.. track 5 can be a good one to try on live for a concert showcase..

Tack 7..opening a bit Jason Miraz..I thought some bossa harmonise at the background may make it less lonely..sam solo thruout is a bit blend..guitar duet is great though..

Track 8...It's rhapsody, the essence is ALL, Mixtures..hence the clapping, cheering, whistles..but the 2nd interval didn't have much cheers to cheer on..it could be more voices...make it a Mardi Gras? A Brazilian dance carnival?

i thought it's more like a series of dramas, plays, black & white movies, loud musical broadways element other than food.

this need awhile to chew, but the tracks bring visuals..

Great critic.. great comment :)

Everything always could be better.. Will improve with time.

Nothing much we can say about the packaging of the "product" on the exterior.. maybe one day we may get the chance to.. but for now we just gotta do our music and hope for the best.. not bending to generic pop as we have always avoided..

Thanks for the food for thought!

to ponder:

actually the main concern for an album always lies in the investors. More investors equates to many people "talking". In this scenario, a product normally ends up with many visions of the same theme.

A music producer, musician/singers, song writers.. they may differ when bores down to working on the same subject matter.. esp when a album has the majority of songs written by other people. tends to lose a bit of control..which needs the producer's verification to give the green light. Who knows that some artists may want to have a small part of their work in this album as well..? Other Songwriters esp..looking for collaborations.

When a video director comes in, the interpretation varies there again. The visual, another most important element, will it tally with the music and theme? Genres play a part too..
And there goes of course, the art directors, and the make-up artist, wardrobe designers, etc.. The investors, the ones paying definitely are poking their fingers into this pie..


So in the end.. the arts makers are always restricted in some sense that there's really not much say to control the whole album in terms of fashion, colour schemes, appearance and who to work with.
The only thing they have in control is their music.. and that's where they can do their best.

The rest.. it's up to those players in the industry.. it's a bit tricky..

at the end of the story..

it's about who's has the biggest say. So, the final product in the album has to find the right producer to get an overall the cohesive theme.

For me, packaging and MTVs are always a bonus.. and I think nowadays people are too caught up with visual splendors. It's an endless pursue.
If music is the core subject, an album with its title and simple 3 photographs will do.. the magic is in the songs itself.. :)


I guess simplicity still works.. that's how ppl in the 80s get their album sold out. even Jim Brickman in simple outfit sells his stuffs..

I hear your heartbeats guys. Way to go. :D

nic, abt the packaging thing, like weiqi quoted me above, i've replied to aniy who said tt weiqi didnt contribute to the album art in the end, mlb can rest at that thought that we wont support mlb just bcuz u ugys didnt deco the album cover.

well, we mlbians support mlb for you guy's effort in giving us good music, not bcuz u guys decorate good album covers. if u guys decorated it, its a bonus to us, showing us ur talent in art, but even if u didnt, the main point isnt there. the main point is the good music that is brought to us. anw i do like the album covers, so thrs nothing that u cant do about.

SO, dont get too upset by the dispute over the album cover. umm, sam's face is really nice there anyway. so is nic and sam's photo on the other 2 pages. dont worry abt us nt liking it ! we all love it to every bits ;)

and for the tracks, i like the mixture in this album, in food terms, its like serving up a dish with 'suan tian ku la' , different genre , different dish served up. it does proves that mlb can make it no matter what genre it falls in ! mlb is multi talented, thats smthing everyone can see. mlb continue to jia you !

Insomniac, I totally agree with you. There are always so many concerns when doing a production like this. So many people involved, so many different visions and directions. At the end, what you see, the album cover, the packaging, even the way the music sounds, all depends on who has the final say.

My heart goes out to the 3 guys, who have put in so much effort, time, sweat and tears to produce something that they believe represents who they are and speaks not just to themselves, but to all their fans out there. It's a pity that such talent is not well recognised and well publicized, when it should be! How many artistes nowadays can compose, arrange and produce their own songs! And we all know the other talents that MLB has, not just in singing and composing, but in art, beatboxing etc. When I watched them on TV, performing at the SHA, I was so proud that I was supporting a band that could perform just as well LIVE!

As their avid supporter, I'm grateful that at least the songs (tracks 1 - 8) are composed by them, arranged by them, sung and played by them. I guess that's the most we can hope for right now, till a better platform comes along and the guys can really take the entire production into their own hands and really show the world what they've got! Despite the lack of publicity (and it really pains me that this is the case), it is heartening to see that the guys have not given up. They have continued to strive and give their best to all who listen to their music and to all who believe so strongly in them. I'm sure that they must always have their supporters in mind as they work on their music.

As for the way the album looks, the pics and the overall concept, I shall not comment too much. Is packaging more important than substance? No doubt we live in an era that places a lot of emphasis on appearance and packaging, I think we must not forget that the band we are supporting is a band with SUBSTANCE, and REAL TECHNICAL ABILITY. MILUBING, I SALUTE YOU FOR THAT! Stay true to who you are as a band.

hmm..
i agree with jelly~~
quoted 'is packaging more important than substance' totally agree.. dun see the reason why just seeing the packaging will determine everything when one or nt haven't get to listen to the songs inside =) i think nw ppl been emphasis on appearance and packaging is like very 'normal' cause well.. haha. i shall nt say much anyway .. X= but even if the album package is simple. i still like it.. simple and nice :D dun see the point of making it to a complicated looks cover package lol!

but well.. everything can still be improve isn't it. the boys are nt gg to stop here isn't it. they still have a long long journey to go. i sure from there. they will still continously making much more improvement.. and bring us even a better more good music.. and i'm sure of it...

and i feel proud of them =) i already seldom buying any albums..but for them. i willing to chip in the money to buy their album, to support them.. support local music :P i think they r the 1st local grp tt i think i am willing to support haha~~ even when ppl say local bands/grps cmi everything.. but i still put in believes/hopes on mlb that they will do us proud :D i knw they are doing us proud XD

bows down to all the ppl around making this 3rd baby a possible one.. really salute everyone of them! :D

so jiayou guys! :)

we always just do our best... what we can help (humanly possible), we help. the rest is up to the other players in the team. this project involves many people, so when there's an issue, it could be anyone's fault, but it is hard to really pin point and decipher because it is complicated. let's just be positive, and work towards a brighter future ya? :) peace

p.s. thank you all for the comments, we value them dearly. mlbians and supporters are our voices. love u all.

Quote jellybeancheeks 'i think we must not forget that the band we are supporting is a band with SUBSTANCE, and REAL TECHNICAL ABILITY.' I think this is very true, from the very beginning. The live performances are just as WOW, no frills, just pure heart and talent. I've been a supporter since superband days, crazy at home but very mia at events. I liked the third album, not because of the packaging but because i can hear the sincerity in the songs sung. I think its a more well put together album compared to the previous two, and i guess the band really matured a lot. Its like telling a story through tracks 1-8, feeding us with rich visuals, carrying us through many different emotions. And funny thing is now my favourite songs are 饮食男女 and 冷晚餐. Although i didnt really liked them or pay a lot of attention to them in the beginning, its kind of a freaky thing when the songs have that ability to creep into my head and set themselves on repeat, over and over. That to me is catchy, I love the album, its very satisfying listening to it.

Oh yah, my friends and i were abit 'angry'at how the third album was treated in stores, they had a hard time finding the album when it was actually sandwiched between the other albums. They only displayed the side of the album, and as we know the album quite slim, REALLY CANNOT SEE LA. They took the remaining three albums and positioned it somewhere where its more visible, and with the cover facing front, cannot waste the artwork mah. That store is really very irritating..

Limedrops, thank you for tt, and ii didnt noe that aint all popular has cd-rama, cos there wasnt one at J8. in the end, ii got my album from one 'ulu' store. -_-

Great mind thinks alike. love the comments above by the fellow supporters which ii fully agree. =)

专辑买了,音乐听了,回味无穷。
这张专辑好像藏了很多宝,都是惊喜。[esp track 7, my fav!]
特别的是,这是我第一次看到,听到,这以饮食主题为材的专辑;很喜欢里面一首首不同风格的故事。
唯一不喜欢的是,多余的bonus tracks,就好像跟这张专辑很不blend。
总的来说,没有失望,还是会被你们的音乐感动到。
side track a little, the packaging aint user friendly. =(

虽然专辑已经品尝了一遍又一遍,但还是需要时间慢慢的消化,才能摄取他丰富而富有价值的营养。=D

I'm exactly like xinmin! And I agree with all the long comments above. Milubing is super talented!

Though the publicity and 'fame quotient' not that good yet, I have faith in the band! You guys are redefining Mandopop music with every single one of your amazing albums. And I believe that someday, MLB will make it as big as S.H.E! Though it may take a long time, I am nothing but certain that they will get there some day. (:

Just a random rant from the very random me. (:

i think every track is like so unique that im loving every! kinda difficult to do the usual listen then can immediately decide whats my fav, cuz another song name will pop up one after another! like some self debate within! but if really really really must choose, im kinda attracted to bian zhuang cafe! looking from the poll, it seems like a leng men choice! but but but somehow very attracted by the 16 beats and some parts that really need mo qi for coordination(:
