I’m a big fan of Aidit Alfian. That is one of the reasons why I actually bought this album at the first place. I’m just in love with Aidit’s music. He’s great and very creative and also visionary.

Forget about my love to Aidit’s music for a while, let’s talk about this album. Must remember, this is only an opinion from a loyal listener of local music. Hahaha! I’ll try my best not to be so judgmental or bias.

The 1st single “kau atau aku” a.k.a Main tarik tali is a hit! I never actually like this song for the first few time hearing it. But today, I love it! The popular song in the radio wave at this moment, “Kalis Rindu” is a very fun song. I like the way Elyana sang the song. Macam ala-ala malas nak nyanyi. A very creative song and can give impact to our local music scene. It’s different and not typical Malay-pop song. I love the lyric too!

Other song by Aidit is Molek, Kasih berkalih tuju, Bukannya satelit, and Syukur kusedar. What can I say; I love all Aidit’s songs in this album. Wow! Huhuhu! Molek is my current favorite! It’s cheeky and fun. The melody is fun!! The pre chorus and chorus are extremely fun to sing-along!

Bukan Satelit is a fresh-air of ballad song in Malaysia. I like the part “Jangan begitu…, siksa dirimu…” Cool! The lyric by Ad Samad is kinda weird but very creative. Salut! Syukur kusedar is another great ballad song in this album. It is love at the first hear for me! Hahaha! Not like typical or cliché ballad song that Elyana always sang before, especially in her debut and 2nd album. It has the scary melody that makes me nervous or easily said, meremang bulu roma! C’est Genial!

The new version of Niat (Patrick Khamis) is over my expectation. The new arrangement is edgier and has rocks elements. Its reminds me of the arrangements by Anto Hoed. Wow!

Other songs that are included in this album are, Hati Berbentuk Cinta by Marlin/Loloq (Love the lyric but sorry, I didn’t really got the melody), Ku Jadi Teman by Marlin/Ad Samad (another great and fun song), and Jambatan Mana (love it too! Haish!).

As a conclusion, this album is worth every part of my money, never a second I regretted for spending my very limited money for this album. Please give applause to everyone that was involved with this album and extra applause (plus standing ovation) to the creative Aidit Alfian, Ad Samad, Loloq, Alfa Booty and Elyana. Elyana is so lucky to have this great tem to work for her album. I envy her! Hahaha!

This is the list of song according to the most I like (1) to the least (10).

1. Syukur Kusedar *****
2. Molek *****
3. Kalis rindu *****
4. Bukannya Satelit *****

5. Kujadi Teman ****1/2
6. Niat 2008 ****1/2
7. Kau atau Aku ****
8. Jambatan mana ***
9. Kasih Berkalih Tuju ***
10. Hati Berbentuk Cinta **

Anyone that wants something new, fresh and great from the local mainstream music scene should buy this album. Great! Congrats!

Overall: ****1/2!!!!

P/s: This article is written before I got the news of Loloq's sad demise. He past away today, around noon. This is truly a big lost for our music industry. What a waste of talent! He’s such an inspiration. Al-Fatihah.
