Revisiting PSY's 8th Album in Ten Scenes

A Completion Guide to 《4X2=8》 with a Fast-Paced Title Track, Lyric-Driven Collaborations, and a Fusion of Hip-Hop and Rock

《4X2=8》 is an album that hides break-up songs, hip-hop collaborations, and a calm retrospection beneath the bright images of I LUV IT and New Face. 'Revisiting PSY's 8th Album in Ten Scenes' is structured with respect to the album's release flow and track arrangement, based on the contrasts between dance, ballad, and rock that appear alternately.

After quickly opening with I LUV IT and New Face, it neatly captures the ten tracks transitioning through ballad, hip-hop, chorus, rock, and retrospection. Notably, the previously omitted track 7, FACT, has been placed to distinguish it from BOMB and other hip-hop scenes, allowing us to explore the transitions created by G-Dragon's rap between We Are Young and Rock Will Never Die.
