If Jay and Fantasy announced the coming of a superstar, then Jay Chou's third full-length album, The Eight Dimensions , sealed his status as the Chinese music world's top artist. With his third album, Jay's signature fusion of rap, R&B, and ballad became not only familiar but unmistakable, emerging as the singer's own unique musical genre. Jay started off the trend of fusing traditional instrumentals and themes with contemporary pop, and here he follows up Nunchucks with the equally popular Dragon Fist. Other more than familiar sounds on the album include catchy family-tribute rap-pop number Grandfather's Tea; the Taiwanese-language Where is the Train Going; Jay-specialty mumbling tongue-twisting track The Orcs; and touching ballads Return to the Past and Split. Also notable is the grand war-themed ballad The Final Battle, which took Jay from his usual glossy music video to even higher budgets with a dramatic music movie complete with war scenes. This reissue version of The Eight Dimensions comes with a DVD containing the music video and music movie versions of The Final Battle, as well as behind-the-scenes footage.
