[Attention Hype Boy Cookie] vs [ETA Super Shy Cool With You]

Hurt erasure is bad for the soul (but I understand why you did it)

Attention and hype boy are still undefeated obviously

It’s too soon for this lol. Their EP literally just dropped today

Sadly I do not like this EP and it was a musical step down for new jeans. It’s.. actually noise music for me😭😭 from their pop sound to unstructured songs and monotonous chanting in every way they musically disappointed me 😭.

Their debut album was an all hit. And will remain legendary.

Super Shy, ETA, Cool With You due to instant like because the debut trio took time to grow on me.

Attention +hype boy alone >>>> Get Up EP (for now)

2022 was newjeans year in terms of musicality. the new ep was good but their debut ep was fireeeeee. im afraid all songs on get up put together still do not compete w one lord hype boy. hope they bring back that level of depth to their music

Attention >>>>>>>> The rest

Hype Boy is the final boss of NewJeans' discography. It just can't be defeated.

No doubt. Watch Hype Boy chart longer and higher than these new songs on Get Up few months later. Just like how it outdid Ditto and OMG

For me all 13 songs? (Which you didnt ask for)

Cool With You

Cookie

Ditto

New Jeans

OMG

Super Shy

Zero<——— unironic

Attention

Hype Boy

ETA

ASAP

Get Up

Hurt<——— still love this though

But for overall trilogy I pick current era jeans

Attention etc wins.. It was love at first listen

The 2022 trio for me especially Hype Boy and Attention but I like ETA and Super Shy too.

Trilogies only? 1st EP wins

Full EPs? 2nd EP wins, Get Up and ASAP are that insane

Hype Boy - Cookie stands undefeated bit i think CWY is NJs best song and best everything as a whole (concept, dance, mv, etc) + NewJeans not far behind.

To me the real get up trio is more NewJeans-ETA-CWY and it’s AMAZING. I think it’s a step up overall (concept, artwork, quality) even tho i agree that the first ep trio is more catchy overall but i think the 2nd ep just has more substance.

Also the 1st ep is always gonna be more fresh and more impactful because basically it was the first time we heard NJ lol, and Hype boy is song of a decade material, a song like Gee or Tell me that appears only once in a blue moon but musically and artistically to me there was clearly a step up for NJ and it had started since Ditto but mind you I think CWY is even better.

Ditto reminded be a bit of Nell and Oohyoo and CWY almost reminded me a little but of the xx, that's the freaking level .

And if get up is actually a sort of teaser for their upcoming album as i heard somewhere (could be wrong) NJ's up coming music sounds even more promising that anything they already released which says a LOT.

it’s funny because I remember a lot of users (maybe even some in this very thread) putting down their debut and calling it “basic” at the time and now everyone praises it like it’s godly to them lol.

But on a real, hype boy is the best K-pop song ever made.

also id like to say that even tho for example Cookie is more catchy than CWY, the later is definitly the superior song/concept/mv smh.

and I also think that ETA is a better song than Attention . Attention is more special and emotional because it's their debut song and it does sound a bit more fresh which it's normal but ETA is just far more catchy, its a major bop and it's not like Attention has more substance or anything like in the case of CWY vs Cookie.

I also prefer NewJeans to Attention mind you (music/concept wise) even tho Attention has more legend vibes to it and is more memorable but in this case again New Jeans is again more catchy. (To me, i jist reaally love Newjeans)

So in conclusion, the first EP is overally more catchy and more 'fresh' and has song a a decade aka HB in it but overall get up is just a superior EP to me.

Regardless, both of the eps have specific strengh. One think i'm sure avout it that the artistry really bloomed in the second ep. Visually and musically. There is more visual diversity and substance in it.
