TAEMIN Eternal Album Review (Patreon)

This is a slight improvement to the Guilty EP though it would've been a GREAT improvement if the songs felt more complete. I kept waiting for that moment of release and for it to click in my mind but it's like he kept edging me lol.

Deja Vu is the only song that I felt had the POLISH I'd expect from an artist of Taemin's stature. The trajectory of the choreo also kind of plateu'd? I thought there would be a climax now that I think of it but it seems everything exciting happens by the time you're half-way through the video.

Perhaps he's rebelling from the structure he had gotten use used to? It could also have to do with the genre he's doing here which started very hip-hop at the start but throughout the album became more 80's synth based which I am more in to!

The issue with an artist as iconic as Taemin, he set the bar SOOO HIGH and has been the vision of grandeur and high fashion that anything else can feel underwhelming. I DO believe he could still find the fine line of doing something new/raw without sacrificing the scale of how powerful he is as a performer.

I'm guessing they'll be a video or performance video for Horizon. I tHINK I may have like that better!

Enjoy!
