ENHYPEN — [THE SIN : BLISS] (Patreon)

I want to start off by saying that I wanted to love this album and I still do want to love it but I think I need to listen to it a few more times. I don't want to say that I'm disappointed by it, but maybe instead say that it might just not be for me? And that is based on just this first listen. I like the album and the songs but I don't know if I love any of them except for 1. I feel stuck on the feeling that when they removed the "hyphen" that it has removed something about their music and sound that I really loved. I don't know. I talk more about that in this video.

As I talk about towards the end of this video I wonder if the album would have sounded different if it wasn't connected to the one before. If they didn't have to connect (pun intended) this album to the previous one and this album could have been a whole new concept, I wonder if it would have sounded differently. It might be meaningless speculations but to quote Carrie in SATC "I couldn't help but wonder.." 🌝

However I love the concept photos and our boys sound and look so amazing and as long as they're happy then I'm happy. I had a lot of fun making all the thumbnails and even though I'm usually not a huge fan of black and white photos I think these are so gorgeous. I also made little stories in my head about the pairings in these photos that I am not going to share with anyone 🙂‍↔️ The good thing about them being 6 members is that we have even pairs 🫠

I'm going to spend more time listening to the songs and I really hope they will grow on me. But maybe they won't and that's okay, too. I'll still love them. I'd love to hear what you guys think about the album and the songs so please let me know all your thoughts in the comments~ 💙
