On The Run (我很忙) (wo hen mang)
Release Date: 1st November 2007
Overall Rating: 
Jay Chou's eighth album, this album marks a significant change in style for Jay Chou. For the first time he experiments with country music, using it in his title track "Cowboy Is Very Busy". However he still persists with his own style for the rest of the album. This album more than any other reflects Jay Chou's life.

Reviewed by Arty on 4th January 2009 This is my favorite album and I like all of the songs. Unlike the other albums, every song was great. I felt that he spent a lot of time on this one in particular, because he didn't have an extremely busy schedule. Capricorn wasn't as great as this one probably because he had a busy schedule with all of his concerts. Anyways, I recommend this album.
Reviewed by tweety on 2nd November 2008 Anyone knows if there's a compilation of MVs for this album?
Reviewed by Anonymous on 29th August 2008 I personally loved this album. It gives him a fresh new personality so people don't think he's all cold </3. All the songs have a new kick to his older classical ones, and I reccomend it a lot! =]

Reviewed by jayfreak on 8th December 2007 This is the 8th album of Jay Chou.
Up: There is a trying of new style from track 1. A new experiment and refreshing idea from Jay. There is a an-jing like style for track 10. There is a improvement in rap combined with electronic music for track 8. And good pure Jay R & B from track 7 which is not seen in his previous last 2 albums. Track 9 a very cute song is a little bit unlike cool Jay but nonetheless it turned out well.
Overall, I feel this album surpassed the previous 3 albums. It contains new ideas and yet has songs that we really want from Jay, those class Jay styles such as track 7. Almost all the tracks in this album can be hits!
Down: Nowadays sadly, the instruments from the credits reflect that Jay doesn't really play the piano or guitar or instruments in his albums any longer. Probably he also needs to spend more time working on his next album as this album really sounds a bit rushed in the details of the music, that explains the title of this album!
Reviewed by zhangningrui on 21st November 2007 i neither speak nor read mandarin but i guess d music does all its talking n d emotions do come through.
been listening to jay for years, n i believe he's getting better.
i love all the songs (track 3 caught my ears 1st n do listen to track 9 in the morning- it'll lift u up..)
i agree there's more 'sunshine' in this one..cud b jay's happier when composing..perhaps.. ;)
Reviewed by daybreak on 12th November 2007 i really like Dandelion's Promise... I want to play on the piano the melody is soo nice.. bad i can't find scores... =.=....''
Reviewed by secretss on 12th November 2007 1) 牛仔很忙
6/10 Nice lyrics, but a disappointment for a first plugged song. Jay's first plugged songs are usually epic, like 我的地盤, 夜的第七章 etc.
2) 彩虹
8/10 Melody taken from First Kiss (Secret OST). It was the second song released and I spammed it in my player too many times.
3) 青花瓷
6/10 Not my cup of tea. Sounds like 千里之外 (Still Fantasy).
4) 陽光宅男
7/10 Funny lyrics and an infectious tune. Cheerful song. I like it, (it's almost surprising). It's nice to listen to. I like it more than Track 9 甜甜的.
5) 蒲公英的約定
8/10 Melody taken from 小雨寫立可白I (Secret OST). The lyrics leave some to be desired, though. I love the melody and Jay sings it with feeling.
6) 無雙
9/10 Love it! I tend to like songs like this more anyway. Beginning sounds a lot like something from Linkin Park.
7) 我不配
9/10 The introduction is identical to 愛在西元前 (Fantasy) except at a slower tempo. I took one point off for that. Love the lyrics and the story behind the song.
8) 扯
9/10 Love it too! Awesome beat and style. Can't wait for the MV. Then again, I'm inclined towards songs like this anyway.
9) 甜甜的
7/10 Cheerful/blissful songs don't stand out as much in my ears, thus, the score is between 6.5 and 7. Still worth a listen. Same category as 園遊會 (七里香), happy and lovey-dovey.
10) 最長的電影
6/10 Similar to 瓦解 (Jay wrote it for 南拳媽媽's debut album, and sang in it as well). The introduction is identical except for a transposition to a higher pitch. Doesn't stand out much and lyrics need work.
