I'm teasing cos this wasn't actually awful, just safe and uninspiring towards the more I got into the album.

I'll give props though to the title track, ESPECIALLY the outro! Now did everything tickle my brain and excite me like I would've liked? Not quite.

I've never dissected and had so many thoughts come to me during an album reaction like this because I REAALLLY wanted to pin point where they missed the mark here and I think they're label just lacks vision because if you compare this to ARrC with Nu Kidz or EVNNE with Hot mess OR MAMA Said Kickflip, you start to hear how dated it all feels. The references are great but they didn't bring anything new which not everyone needs tbh, but for me to be gagged I want something fresh.

The choreo didn't do anything exciting either which is a shame.

Vocally also, besides mr deep voice, the main vocal moments did not please my ears much. Someone on discord did mention that there was controvery cos they didn't have a strong vocalist in the line up. I strongly agree.

Nonetheless, they may get it right in the future so i'll keep an eye and the songs might catch me in the right mood once my expectations are in a different space but they have a lot of great competition fighting for my ears!

And also, I know it's rhythm & blues but bass came to my mind as a double meaning for the B.

Enjoy!

I'm so dead I genuinely thought you would like this album a bit more hahaha For me, the first four songs have been on repeat all morning in the background 😃 But I do agree that nothing new was brought to the table. I think if they had a stronger vocalist and if they brought forward some of the harmonies, it would've been better but I'm just happy its not noise music lmaooo

I loved it until that deep face man came in

Koko3op

Agreed! Like the ingredients were all there, just lacking some imagination!

The one in the blue jacket that you like is Kyoungbae. He was my favorite in Project 7 and is the maknae born in 2008

I agree about the bridge comment…some kpop groups don’t need bridges

I hate to say this but I’m mostly a fan because of the production

I was interested in this group bcs of the aesthetic in their trailer, but listening to this album it fell a bit flat for me and I think it is bcs their is not really much happening in the vocal department. They just do the same in every song and would like more diversity or something. I am in no way a vocal expert but when I listen to an album I like a little more diversity. I hope someone understands what I am saying here. But I still like some of the songs tho.

Also now I think of it. I miss something impactful in the songs like a real highlight or something where you really go like ‘yes get it!’.

Yeahhh it’s flat indeed and lacks a lot of magic

I started listening to them because of your all my poetry reaction and MICAH PLEASE I cannot emotionally afford to get into another temporary group tbh I’ve had the album on loop it’s got some great vibes and the first song on the album gives me early txt feelings (magic island, maze in the mirror, etc) also cool to see an 8 song debut album in the new jeans day and age of 1-4 song comebacks lmao

Koko3op

OMG I didn't even consider them being temporary!! Life is short! DO ITTT haha
