LOL (stylised <LOL>) is the debut studio album by Polish pop group Blog 27, released in Poland in 2005 and internationally in 2006.
The album was originally released in Poland on Ala and Tola's 13th birthday on 27 November 2005. The first edition included only 10 tracks and 2 music videos. The second edition, released in spring 2006, [1] included two new songs plus instrumental karaoke version of all 12 tracks. This edition also had the outro in "I'm Callin' U" edited out and sported a slightly different cover. The Japanese version released later that year used an entirely different cover picture. On 27 November 2006, the album was re-released again, replacing the original version of "Who I Am?" with Tola's solo re-recording and adding a guitar version of the song. It came with a DVD containing music videos, making-of material, concert footage, an interview, and more. [2]
