Despite recent news of SM’s latest legal quaffle with JYJ and possible delay of the trio’s global release album, it appears that the tracks are now available for sale on Melon. (HQ previews for each track are also available for a free listen.)

The lead single, “Ayyy Girl,” was posted yesterday; here’s “Empty” – my personal favorite:

The album has received mixed reviews from K-pop fans, but the general consensus is that the tracks on The Beginning sound more like American pop than the typical DBSK K-pop sound we’re accustomed to. And if that makes it easier for them to break into the US market, then good for them. I guess.
I’d still take this over any English JYJ song, though:
