Now you've had the album for while, what is your opinion on it on it's own (especially considering it followed the longest break in between studio albums in her career I believe) and in comparison to her last album Play.
Also, I know it may be too soon but where would you put it in context of her whole career, top 5, top 3, favourite album etc?
At first, when I listened to the previews on iTunes before being able to listen to the album in full, I have to admit I was a bit scared.
Then I was reassured when I got to listen to the album for the first time. This is an album that grows on you though, it needs several listens. The only song I cannot seem to get into is Shadow Self.
When I learned that Jolin had written 6 songs of the album, I was not necessarily overjoyed in the first place, since I thought that Miss Trouble and I'm Not Yours were the messiest songs music-wise in PLAY. So I was pleasantly surprised ! I think it's definitely a step up from PLAY production-wise and overall.
IMO, this is also her most cohesive album to date. Concept, visuals, music, lyrics... You can also feel her implication and how personal it is to her. She even stated recently "I debuted 2 years ago" (she started work on UGLY BEAUTY in 2016). Jolin wasn't lying when she was talking about something new (for her) when it comes to style, lyrics, or interpretation. Ballads here are really different compared to her previous ones (Vulnerability ♥) as well.
Of course it's just my opinion.
But this album is clearly not for everyone, from what I read online, it looks like either you like it or "hate" it. I understand what she meant when she said that "old fans will need to get used to it, new fans will follow"... So I have to admit I was surprised when I saw how well the album & title song were doing in Taiwan and China, and how well it was received by critics.
It's too hard to rank it yet to be honest, especially since I never even tried to make a top 5 of her albums

â–º About feedbacks on UGLY BEAUTY
"I am actually only curious about feedbacks on æƒ¡ä¹‹å¿…è¦ Necessary Evil, because I like it very much, I think it is very fresh, it is darker, and it is different from everyone’s impression of me [...]. I like to scare everyone (laughs)."
â–º About UGLY BEAUTY MVs
"I hope that every song will get a music video. Because that's the direction I'm going for when I'm searching for lyrics. When I see the lyrics, there is a picture in my mind, I will want to materialize them."
â–º About the new Tour
"I haven't thought of the script yet, but I believe that I should be able to play different things. It should be more visually stimulating than PLAY World Tour."
Next MV should be for Hubby, according to the booklet it was filmed by Jeff Chang (Agent J, FEAR FREE, Phony Queen MVs).

10 lucky fans have been able to listen to 6 songs off the album: æƒ¡ä¹‹å¿…è¦ Necessary Evil, 怪美的 Ugly Beauty, 玫瑰少年 Womxnly, å¦‚æžœæˆ‘æ²’æœ‰å‚·å£ Vulnerability, 腦公 Hubby, and 甜秘密 Sweet Guilty Pleasure.
æƒ¡ä¹‹å¿…è¦ Necessary Evil
Lyrics: Li Weijing / Starr Chen – Music: Razor Chiang / Starr Chen
Jolin’s voice is very low, the song is very depressing. Its style is even more “special†than 怪美的 Ugly Beauty’s. Described as “hardcore hip-hopâ€. It’s about the inner dark side and intends to tell the reason why a girl becomes “evilâ€â€¦
怪美的 Ugly Beauty
玫瑰少年 Womxnly
Lyrics: Ashin from Mayday / Jolin – Music: Razor Chiang
Jolin hopes to use this song to let everyone discover and learn to respect people who are different. It’s a mix between a mid-tempo and an uptempo.
å¦‚æžœæˆ‘æ²’æœ‰å‚·å£ Vulnerability
Lyrics: Liao Ting Yi – Music: Xiao Yu
A love song never heard in Jolin’s discography. Ballad blending blues and gospel. The chorus is very moving. It’s about arming yourself in love and accept yourself.
腦公 Hubby
Lyrics: Li Ruo Jun
The idea for the song came from Korean dramas and love movies. When she watches them, Jolin wants to replace the female lead’s face by hers. Cute pop-rock song.
甜秘密 Sweet Guilty Pleasure
Lyrics: A Di Zai – Music: Jolin / Olof Maarten Lindskog / Hayley Michelle Aitken / Johan Per Konrad Moraeus
EDM. Explores desire, it’s a straightforward sex song, no innuendos. Pastry is also used as a metaphor for sex.
Jolin values every part of the body, so she couldn’t ignore the “sex†part. “How long have you not looked at the mirror, have you touched your body, and found out where you like to be touched?†“Everyone feels desire, it’s not unusual, it’s not shameful, I’m almost 40 years-old !â€
Jolin also revealed that she didn’t want to release a physical version for this album. Sony Music Taiwan advised her to do so, by telling her that she was still very beautiful and could still sell physical CDs.
Jolin stated several times this past year that she couldn’t see the appeal of CDs anymore, she doesn’t even have herself a CD player at home. -
UGLY BEAUTY "Collector Edition" is now up for pre-order !

MV promo pictures and concept
http://www.jolinjenerationgallery.com/thumbnails.php?album=1143Muh Chen from Grass Jelly directed 怪美的 Ugly Beauty MV.
Jolin returns to the inner level and reviews the “dark history†of her 20 years of career (rumors, struggles, fragility, contradictions).
Thanks to director Muh Chen and humorous shooting techniques, Jolin Tsai recalls the “dark history†that has been published for 20 years, showing how she can now look at her past with honesty. The source of these ideas comes from the Internet memes and fans. She said: “I hope I’ve been able to show my past struggles, I went crazy once, the MV is showing with humor the process of my awakening.â€
In order to present the reconciliation between “Current Jolin Tsai†and “Jolin Tsai from the Pastâ€, she broke her personal MV record and specially spent NT$15 million (424 872,47€ or $USD487,487.85) to create a realistic scene.
The director specially tailored 4 scenes and 8 characters for her, including “Judge and prisoner, “chef and spongerâ€, “nurse and patientâ€, with the atmosphere ofâ€self-abuse†and “self-depreciationâ€, presenting a “great court of justiceâ€, a “Chinese-style restaurant†where she wants to eat but has been prevented from drinking water and eating food, and the “freak beauty†that was madly pursuing perfect posture but was sent to the “Crazy Psychiatric Hospital and so on.
3 days and 3 nights of shooting, once again it sets a record, of the longest shooting days since her debut, because of the many characters and scenes, the set is like a war.
In order to be sympathetic to the hard-working staff on set, Jolin Tsai has rented a dining car intimately to provide 24-hour hot food service and drinks to help everyone. She invited a professional dance teacher who once choreographed for Britney Spears and Pink, who helped Jolin to arrange “the ugly beauty danceâ€. In addition to the complicated dance steps, she had to cooperate with the director to play multiple roles. Jolin Tsai laughed and said: “This MV was a lot of physical work!â€
怪美的 Ugly Beauty lyrics excerpt: “You can’t see my beauty, you are blind, you praise my appearance, but you spit on me behind my back, the world of beauty, who has the guts to speak absolutely about itâ€.MV will be revealed on December 26th.
Title song is already available digitally worldwide, depending on your timezone.

3rd EP cover and concept

1. 岩石裡的花 Love Finds A Way*
2. WHY
3. ç¡çš‡åŽ Queen G*
*Official English titleFinal Chapter - Sleeping Queen
Ten years ago, she wrote ç¡å…¬ä¸» Sleeping Princess.
At that time, she believed that there was perfect love in the fairy tale world.
Ten years later, she released Sleeping Queen.
At this time she believes she can dominate the story.
GEM, who has not released Cantonese songs for a long time, pays tribute to the heart of Sleeping Queen.
In the past ten years, the reality urged GEM to awaken from the most beautiful shackles.
She experienced loss. Now she regains her original pure courage.
Fear and confusion, the sleeping princess of that year, has grown calmly into a brave and courageous queen ten years later.
In the real world, there is no fairytale, but there is no one who is willing to believe. G.E.M.’s fairytale trilogy begins with “another fairytale†and ends with “sleeping queenâ€. The queen will build her kingdom with her self-confidence and continue her fairytale! -

Thank you for posting all that information.
Will you be ordering the limited edition or just buying digital?
Limited edition !
It was hard but I managed to buy a copy on 5music...
Some info about physical sales by the way:
UGLY BEAUTY pre-order version was already sold out on online stores after a few hours.
Online stores were restricting orders to 1 or 2 copies per person. Some sites were sold out within minutes. Some even crashed.
Some fans who weren’t able to order went on Sony Taiwan’s Facebook to express their anger, and ask for a reprint.
It seems that it’s not possible because this is such a deluxe version that it’s very expensive to produce, that’s why there were only 10,000 copies.
A regular version will be sold, Jolin advised fans to buy it if they really want a physical version of UGLY BEAUTY.

Asian pop queen Jolin Tsai latest album UGLY BEAUTY
Breaking the norm of beauty standard
Show tolerance towards the good and evil of this world
2018.12.26 Weird Beauty global release
Jolin's most honest !
"I thought that if it was not done at 100%, I was nothing."
Jolin's most experimental ! Experiment with a variety of different styles, loyal to music intuition, will destroy her own new songs and perfect them again.
Following "呸 PLAY" in 2014, which was a hot topic worldwide and created a classic model of Chinese pop music, Asian pop star Jolin Tsai's new album "UGLY BEAUTY" will be released in December!
The previous album explored various social issues from her own point of view.
This time, the new work returns to the inner level.
From the constant self-questioning and self-exploration, Jolin finds out that she is facing and embracing her dark and ugly face. The feedback is beautiful ! Jolin explores the "state of mind" and "desire" of human beings through the "feelings" and "outlook" of the theme "UGLY BEAUTY", breaking the dichotomy between the beauty and ugliness of this world and redefining it!
Jolin, who has been interested in psychology for the past two years, began to dig into the inner world and explore herself through the book of Dr. Jung, psychiatrist.
Jolin said: "In the past, if I was not doing something 100%, I would blame myself a lot, and think I was someone who was not worth mentioning."
And in this searching process, Jolin unexpectedly discovered that she always thought it was important to want to test things 100%, to prove herself, "I can", and always neglected her inner feminine power and forgot how to love herself ; through this digging process, the theme of "UGLY BEAUTY" was born for the new album. Jolin said: "The UGLY face for me is part of an emotion. When you start to face it, the feedback you get is very good, more love and empathy, you are able to understand yourself and the decisions you make, it is not easy to criticize yourself and criticize others!" During the birth of the new album, Jolin knew herself through continuous discussion, album production has undergone many times the process of "destroy and perfect". This new album is introducing Jolin’s journey of "knowing herself", "feelings" and "outlook". This is the most "honest" album of Jolin's career !
Why is the album named [uGLY BEAUTY]?
What is called UGLY BEAUTY, in fact, does not refer only to beauty and ugliness of appearance, but also to the two poles of inner psychological level: good and evil / good and bad / crying and laughing / happiness and sadness / darkness and light / fragility and strength / correct and incorrect ...., and what we call "evil", refers to those emotional traits that we often dislike: jealousy, anger, inferiority, vulnerability, dissatisfaction, etc. Because they know that they don't fit the ideal aesthetic, they don't look at it in the dark room, but because they deliberately ignore them for a long time, they will always commit crimes in a variety of different ways, so they self-harm themselves, are inexplicably frustrated, negative, aggressive, angry, conceited, bullying, despising others, etc., what JOLIN wants to express is: only open your heart, to know your inner dark side, to identify it, when it is transformed into various appearances in daily life, you can identify its archetype, and slowly become able to not be swallowed up by these negative forces and learn to get along with them, understand their appearance and necessity. And about empathy, it is to about understanding what is called "evil". The next time you see it in others, you can understand each other for the same reason, maybe compare, and not be hurt !
Jolin's most creative! Participate in the studio in the creation
4 years of production from Taipei to Bangkok and Stockholm
Jolin smashed the way she was making albums in the past, and set up a music writing camp with a new creative mode. She personally participated in the collective creation with musicians and completed the songs of the new album "UGLY BEAUTY". Jolin personally participated in the creation of the collective "bubble" studio. In addition to going to Bangkok, Taipei and even Stockholm, musicians of the music writing camps from these cities collided and cooperated to mobilize nearly 100 transnational musicians and experienced the interesting process of brainstorming with musicians from different regions in the studio for a week, which not only inspired Jolin, but also made her creative power break out. She has participated in the creation of six songs of the new album in one breath. We'll not only hear Jolin's first attempt at creation in the new album "UGLY BEAUTY", but we'll also hear "Creativity" and "Jolin's Most Creative" album! Jolin said: "In the process of free creation, I explored the sound that moved me, and cooperated with different creative camps, it gave me lots of motivation, doing music discussions together, using different language to express what you want. In addition to being very enjoyable and fun, this work should make everyone feel what I feel!"
The new album brings together innovative works from all over the world, and diverse content of the theme "UGLY BEAUTY". The composition of the new album is "Experimental", its style is different compared to past albums. Jolin's instinct of "loyalty to music" is bound to bring more impact and hearing to the Chinese pop music scene! Jolin, who is brave enough to accept the challenge, said: "I just want to try!" During the production of the album, Jolin likes to ask questions and is very curious and aware of the power and influence of women. In this original new album she wanted to explore "what is a woman". Invested in the process, she found herself to be the best "experimental subject". Then she began to dig out and explore her inner world, she found out that "emotion" was the key point affecting herself and others. She often asks herself "what kind of woman I am". Jolin said: "All along I felt that I was lacking something concerning the role of women. Although everyone looks at me like a princess, I always feel that my heart is a man! This kind of conflict is like a whirlpool, so I can't help but want to study. "
Pre-order design "The mouth of truth" Ugly Beauty who had the final say?
Fashion circle popular photographer Zhong Lin
One of the ten most influential stylists of the new era Yii
Personality split to create Jolin's 11 strange beauties
In order to fit with the theme of the eleven songs of the new album, she sent a special invitation to fashion circle popular photographer ZHONG LIN and famous stylist Yii who was once named by Gucci and selected by the global fashion industry as one of the top ten influential figures of the new era, to create 11 sets of strange beauty styles for "UGLY BEAUTY". The pre-order version has been announced, Jolin is wearing the exaggerated "Mouth of Truth" red-lip jewelry, with her hands in a strange position and an innocent look, making the whole picture very impactful, it also echoes the theme of the album, to break the dichotomy between the beauty and ugliness of this world.
This picture has been chosen to be the main one for the album because JOLIN wanted to use various [expressions] to reach and talk with the audience. This is also her understanding of her for the past six years. In 2012, she filmed MV, she looked at herself removing her makeup in through the mirror. She had tears in her heart, and later she realized that she never cared for herself. In the past, she was too concerned about what others said. She did so many things just to get approval from others, but now she is looking at the mirror every time. She can find herself more in her eyes, and remind herself not to live in someone else's mouth. The mouth represents the many words you want to say which can't come out, but now JOLIN wants to communicate through her eyes and tell everyone, "I can understand our feelings !"
This sultry "Mouth of Truth" is a work created by Shuting Qiu, a Chinese rookie designer who graduated from the Royal Academy of Art in Antwerp. The eye-catching orange cake dress with the mouth of truth comes from the work of the cutting-edge designer SENSEN LII. He is not only a student of the Royal Academy of Art in Antwerp, but also the winner of VFILES RUNWAY 10 in New York Fashion Week this year. Jolin challenged herself for two consecutive days, and more than 24 hours of non-stop shooting, under the lens requirements of photographer ZHONG LIN who pays attention to the atmosphere and improvisation, in a short time they shuttled through 11 scenes and 11 characters, Jolin said: "Had to split personalities fast, but it was very cool!" Jolin's new vision of "weird" and "beauty" is bound to cause fans' commotion.

“Face yourself honestly at 100% and you will eventually receive love and sincerity.â€
“Music is my centripetal force. Follow it and you can find me.â€
Jolin keeps asking questions in this album, exploring her own heart, she hugs her own dark and ugly face.
“Emotion has been labeled as ugly, but is that true? This time, I want to open all the ugliness behind the perfect surface. Spying on the emotions that I have tried my best to bury. Terror, truth and fragile stories. Ugly beauty, perfection is not equal to all.â€
Jolin tried a new creative mode to write music. Besides Taipei, she went to Bangkok and Stockholm, mobilizing almost 100 musicians.
After experiencing a week with musicians from all over the world, she participated in the creation of six songs in one go: “Working with different creative camps, gives me lots of motivation, we can talk about music creation together, use different language to express what you want, in addition to being very enjoyable, it was pretty fun, the work should make everyone feel as much as I feel.â€
In recent years, Jolin, who is interested in psychology, explored her inner world and herself through the book of Jung, a psychologist. Jolin said: “If I was not at 100% before, I would blame myself. I would think I was “not worth mentioningâ€. The UGLY face for me is part of an emotion. When you start to face it, the feedback you get is very good, more love and empathy.â€
In order to match the theme of the 11 new songs of the new album, she created 11 sets of UGLY BEAUTY styles, 11 scenes and 11 different characters. She said: “Split personality, but it is very cool.â€
Jolin spent NT$5,000,000 (143 051 € or USD$162,037) for the first MV shooting, Sandy Lam was shooting in the same location (Arrow Studio in Taipei).
They closed the door of their respective studios to avoid song leaks.
This MV shooting lasted 3 days: Jolin worked hard, merely took breaks, and could sleep less than 3 hours a day.
Her staff’s strong support gave her a fighting spirit.
In addition, Jolin’s new album UGLY BEAUTY pre-orders will start on December 5th (physical and digital version). Pre-order version is limited to 10,000 copies.
