æspa - The 1st FULL Album 'Armageddon' discussion

beyond expectations

superb

both title tracks are chosen well + If I could one choose one from the rest I think prologue is

im listening to the second part from bahama first (keeping the juciest part for last ), and the songs are so good . i specially love live my life and prologue the best.

(live my life might actually be my fave from the record, still have to yet listen to the first part of the album fully)

yet minus live my life which i think is a nice twist to the aespa core and sound, why do they sound like something red velvet would have released?

bahamas, long chat, prologue, melody. I could hear RV sing these songs. kinda diminishes the aespa experience, specially on their first album release .

Overall the second part of the album is very classic sm sound. Like melody has a sorta snsd sound to it as well. Classic kpop .

I currently like 6/10 of songs in the album.

supernova, bahama, long chat, prologue, melody, and live my live are instant like for me.

I am starting to like the rest of the album. somehow armageddon chorus keeps repeating in my head .

Supernova is the only song I really like. The rest is really mediocre imho.

the only complain i have for this album is why the heck most of song are barely pass 3 mins.. 10 tracks is not enough

anyway... this blow my expectaction out of the water... i dont remember feeling this much attracted to all the songs when i listened to the highlight medley. Listening to full version changed so much of my initial feelings

Besides Supernova I lika both Bahama and Live my life, the best songs on the album I think.

Overall a good album with great highlights. Definitely right choice of singles I will say.

Set The Tone I thought I'd like more, it's alright but missing something. Mine I really do like, but I still wish it had a bit more of a punch to it, might grow on me though since I do like it a lot anyways.

Prologue is great! I rarely like this type of songs so much, but the tempo and melodies here work perfectly. Big replay value. Live My Life I also like more than expected. The chorus has a special youthful feeling to it that hits. BAHAMA as well I'm surprised I like so much, well done chorus with amazing feeling. I can't stand the "I love this place!" part though, it brings the song down a bit for me lol.

Licorice is quirky, fun and catchy, I love it as much as expected. Long Chat and Melody are fillers to me.

1. Supernova

2. Armageddon

3. Prologue / Licorice

Parts of some songs reminds me of Red Velvet quite a bit.

Supernova, Armageddon and Live my life are the best tracks on the album and clearly. Like it's impossible to rank them, they're so different from each other yet they're all great in their own way.

These 3 songs are really reeally good.

Then i would add Prologue and mine in the top 5.

Bahama is a fine track and Licorice a very cool take on aespa's lore both music and concept wise.

All the other songs are good except Melody and Set the stone that are a bit underwhelming and flat or just kinda out of place.

For example, instead of Melody i would have prefered another ballad like Lucid dream which is more aespa coded.

Otherwise im still a bit decepointed because some of these songs sound like red velevt songs and i would have wanted a more cohesive album. And idealy with ALL the songs on Supernova / Armaggedon level which are i think clearly the superior tracks.

not impressed as of now. missing any wow factor or cohesion from any of these b-sides. seems like aespa is best with concise mini where they can do a cute intro, title, song that stans will say should've been the title, 1-2 fun little filler tracks, and sure throw in a ballad/slow R&B song to end the EP cause fans seem to go gaga over those

Like Armageddon but still prefer Supernova. Was going through the same thing as Supernova. Watched the MV and was being overwhelmed, but come back repeat a few times, later the chorus kinda stuck in my head.

Like all the bside except Licorice. Mine and Live my life is the best especially Mine with the bridge. what a diverse album. Their best album overall.

Live my Life and Melody is my favorite
