ICSM is a wellcomposed, well produced song

Quote from BlackpinkHouse

The song was SO MUCH BETTER as a dark and moody mid tempo banger, but JYP idiotically and inexplicably turned it into a superfast dance song with a screaming high chorus with notes that no one on Earth can hit while doing the choreo.

I was also expecting something slower.

I like ICSM, but It was hard to digest to me cuz I had other expectations...

i cant unhear this now

it makes sense why i loved icsm bc physical was my most played song of 2020

no shade to twice but RV would had definitely killed this song especially WenSeul I'm already imagining their ad libs heavenly

Group harmonization and vocal blending are 1 of the core strengths of most SM groups, a skill I wish a lot of more K-pop groups mastered instead of the meagre handful of a few groups that are capable of it now.

... that said, feels like OP's baiting again?

Well you can never praise TWICE without some bashing. Anyway, I need more Jeongyeon in chorus.

As Reveluv, I think this song was Twice style. SM's songs and style are different. Red Velvet flexes their vocals most of their song If Red Velvet sang the song, They would probably sang interpret it very differently. And it would be totally Sm style. For example, the bridge part of the song would have high note or vocal flexibility instead of rap.
