I am so surprised people say ITZY comeback sounds bad ?

As I said in an other thread, it's improvment and a step in right direction, but not as good as Bet on Me that I like more.

it gives more twice

You misspelled Aespa perhaps, cuz what the hell

Quote from Water_oWl

Twice vibes ? like which part ?

like sounds wise lol I'm talking about twice's new sound (not the old stuff) well, imo this is definitely isn't something I would picture itzy to put out.

Untouchable is the best song released in 2024 so far IMO

Probably the best song by Itzy after Wannabe

I really like mr vampire but untouchable is so boring, nothing is happening in it. I heard It at least 5 times and i cannot remember a single part from it. Same happened with batter up. Weird trend

Quote from Water_oWl

No but don't compare it to Batter Up just because you have memory loss

I don't have memory loss, it's not my fault both songs are boring

Their best comeback in years. People just don’t have any taste.

I liked it but that's just me and I'm usually in the minority of questionable tastes lol

Quote from KarimaJ

People are kind of like sheep so they only want one specific sound from all the GGs right now. It really makes everything dull as heck but it is what it is.

It is important to establish a group's identity before diversify, that's the basic rule for a group to build connection with listeners and establish a solid fanbase.

Even GIDLE who is known for diversity, they started out with experimental sound along the same line for Latata and Hann. The moment they switch to Senorita and Uh oh they actually started to decline. They get back their hype with Lion and OMG (and Queendom).

ITZY now is like a group losing its identity because JYP is panic in fixing their direction after a few flops. IZTY was consistent up until Wanna Be. Not Shy was not liked, JYP switch to GC - Mafia was not liked either. By the time they release Loco, people are over with them. Sneakers was just lucky, cause Chesire did even worse. Had they followed up Sneaker with cake (similar sound), they might find some success although alienating their western listeners

it's so crazy that such a horrible song is one of their best ones recently

Is it terrible? No. Better than sneakers? Definitely ... but it still sounds like a nugu company song
