If this album were a person, that person must be wearing denim jacket and striped shirt from Uniqlo. They're trying too hard to say 'I don't see race.' You'd probably start to realize how awful this album is by the fourth track, 'Indonesia Saja' ('Just Indonesia'). It's too bad that these three songs were put at the beginning of the album, making the second half boring. ![]() 'Satu' ('One') is also just as fun, except that it reminds me too much of God since it's the ultimate Ramadhan song. OK, a couple of tunes like 'Pangeran Cinta' ('Prince of Love') and 'Atas Nama Cinta' ('In the Name of Love') are complete bangers. I think the only possible reason Dhani could came up with such a awful album is that he was so very sober. ![]() Besides, how could Dhani have the audacity to tell us to spread love and end war in the song 'Laskar Cinta,' when he himself is obsessed with everything Nazi? Objectively, I think most songs in Republik Cinta contained more circular reasoning than the paper I wrote in 8th grade. He would go straight to track #9, 'I Want to Break Free' and play it on repeat. Personally, I hate this album because my father used to play it in the car. This album is horrible mainly for two reasons. The song is literally telling us how horny they were, if only we would've listened. Can you imagine how smooth and subtle Dhani was with Mulan, that Maia not only didn't suspect but also appeared in the music video? Buthink about it, Dhani and Mulan couldn't be more obvious about the affair. In case you don't live in Indonesia, Maia and Mulan were the only members of Duo Ratu, and thus assumed BFFs. I didn't want the guy sitting next to me to mistake the song 'Sedang Ingin Bercinta,' which translates to 'I Feel Like Making Love,' as an invitation.Īs horrible as it is, we have to admit that 'Sedang Ingin Bercinta' is the most successful collaboration between a man (Ahmad Dhani, frontman of Dewa 19), his wife (Maia Estianty), and his mistress (Mulan Jameela). All along I was hoping that the music wouldn't leak out of my earphones. So the other day I listened to this album on the commute to work. I really didn't feel like revisiting this album ever again, but what choices do I have? If I want to hate this album, I better hate it with authority. But what the hell, I'm going to make a best of list anyway. As someone who was born in 1996, I didn't get to experience what fans call the 'true' era of Dewa 19. All the bops and flops they wrote up until their disbandment in 2011 contribute to their legacy as one of the biggest icons in Indonesia. It's personal for me, because Dewa 19's Bintang Lima was the second cassette I ever bought-after M2M's Shades of Purple.ĭewa 19 formed in 1986, when all the members were still in middle school. It's almost impossible to live in Indonesia and have never heard of the rock band Dewa 19. ![]()
