7, I love love love songs with this kinda vibe. I also don't know if its intentional and I dont mean for this to be insulting in anyway but right after the crow sound, iono if he intentionally tried to sound like a crow too..lol

Get Cool (when we get to it) might be up your alley then.

No, no worries at all, I found that hilarious, not insulting. I'm pretty sure at least one of them did for sure. It seems like the type of thing they'd try to do. Have any guesses which one you think did it? My akorns are on Han because that seems like the type of humor that he has, and he spends a lot of time in the studio as a part of 3racha, so it makes sense realistically as well.

The crow sound? I dont think anyone, I think they just used a crow recording sample lol

That's what I secretly think too.

No, it was definitely one of them. I was the fly on the wall when it happened.

I hope listening to the recording was the only thing you did as a fly.

It was. Minho was trying to hit me with a flyswatter the whole time, so that's all I had time to do.

9 - It's pretty good! The light hearted vibe and message makes me happy!

Ahhh I can't decide if I like Changbin's vocals here. On one hand, it adds to the silliness, on the other I find the roughness slightly grating.

Fair enough. I can understand that. He does have vocals that aren't as rough in other songs later on, but in this one, I see what you mean.

The curse of the seven's returns. It's a nice song, I just think it would be better without the crow sounds throughout. I appreciate the idea, it is unique and it fits conceptually, so I don't know why I don't love it. I also dislike the bridge for some reason. How they say everything one syllable at a time doesn't work for me here. As for the message, I understand it, and I agree, but only halfway. I admire the carefree attitude, but sometimes silence is golden.

What makes up for all that is their great voices, the silly lyrics and message, the verses and chorus (minus the crow sounds) and pretty much everything I didn't mention in the last paragraph. Also, because they're so similar, I'll just say it: Get Cool is what Awkward Silence wishes it was.

Yeah I didn't rate it super lowly for it either because I can see it as something I can get used to or not mind as much. So it's not bad, it's just first impressions. :)

Awesome! Yeah, no worries, I get that.
