Blop. First song since Tomboy I kinda like.
i-dle - Good Thing MV - bop or flop?

BOP!
New Kpop fans: "Oh, this is so fresh!"
2nd gen fans: "FINALLY, Kpop is back, bitches!🤟"
The whole album screams 2nd gen, and that's why I love it so much!
To quote them: "It's really, really, really good!"🤟
I'm gonna start with the negatives! It's TOO SHORT! Not just the album, but the songs too! I want MORE, give me MORE! I didn't like the Post-Chorus in "Girlfriend"! This is all, basically. "WE ARE" is a strong album!
Now, let's see the songs, starting with my faves:
1. Chain:
This track was made for me! The whole EP screams the early 2000s vibe, and this slow R&B topline is easily my favorite song! Okay, maybe not that easily, because of the next one!
2. Love Tease:
At first, this was my favorite, till I heard "Chain". People who know me, knows I'm not a big fan of EDM in general, but I love old-school disco songs, and i-dle gave me a song that exactly my style!
3. Good Thing + Unstoppable:
As an older fan who follows Kpop since 2003, "Good Thing" brought back the fun of the 2nd gen, and no, it's just a copy and paste! It's old-school with a fresh and sassy vibe. The exact style you expect from i-dle. Maybe not the best one on the album, but definitely one of their best Title Track of All-Time!
I had to put "Unstoppable" in the same category with their Title Track, even tho it's a different genre and style, but as an avid lover of smooth R&B, Miyeon wrote and co-composed a song with an INSANELY good Bridge and Chorus part!
I love ballads, but I didn't feel this one was strong enough to be in the TOP3. The vocal composition, and the performance of the girls are great, but overall it's just a strong average.
5. Girlfriend:
The pre-release, the last on my list, BUT it's not a bad song by any chance! It's a fun, upbeat song, but as I said, I didn't like the post-chorus, and the chorus itself weren't strong enough either for me. It was a bit repetitive.
Overall:
"WE ARE" is one of the best EP of i-dle, but I'm not sure what younger/new fans will think about it, because of the old-school vibe. It's not your typical trendy Kpop album, for sure!
Also, crystalblues please merge!

I liked it, but i think the teaser kinda ruined the song, as it's the most repetitive part of the song (I'm not really a fan of teasers. I'd prefer it if groups didn't have teasers and surprised us with their songs instead).
i feel the same and ive never listened to a song teaser. why dont you just not listen?

This is one of their best title tracks in their OT5 era. The pre chorus is strong and I don’t mind the chorus even though very repetitive due to teasers.
chains
Good things

it's pretty good honestly
-
flop for me. similar to nude and queencard but not nearly as iconic.

Bop. It is closer to their older sound, which a lot of fans have been clamoring for.

BOP! as aesun said, n-o-s-t-a-l-g-i-a

It is a weak song
A lot of people do not know Gidle changed its name to Idle, and think it is a new act
It is in fact a new act. Though coincidentally, they just so happen to have the exact same members.
