I Cant Stop Me

"I Can't Stop Me" has been described as an '80s synthwave and pop song, with elements of disco.

My thoughts; One of their best title tracks. I love the retro pop feel to the song

Rating; 9/10

Hell In Heaven

My thoughts; One of my favorites on the album, I love the beat and the seductive, almost mesmerizing way they sing in the song, especially Jihyo's verse and the chorus.

Rating; 9.5/10

Up No More

My thoughts; I like the beat and I especially love the meaning behind the lyrics, perfectly captures my thoughts when I have insomnia. My favorite part of the song is the end of the bridge when they did the echoing thing with Jihyo's verse.

Rating; 8/10

Do What We Like

My thoughts; The beat is incredibly captivating, and Jihyo's parts are my fav(biased what can i say <3). I don't care for the repeating verse in the chorus, but it fits the song very well. The pre-chorus slaps, so no complaints from me.

Rating; 8.5/10

Bring it Back

My thoughts; One of my favorites on the album, it seriously gets stuck in your head honestly. I love the slow tune of the song which the synth-y instrumental.

Rating; 9.5/10

Believer

My thoughts; Not my favorite on the album, but definitely not a bad song by any means. This song reminds me of some of their past b-sides. The chorus isn't my favorite, but the verses and pre-chorus slap.

Rating; 7.5/10

Queen

My thoughts; I can't decide if I like the change from pre-chorus to chorus. The chorus feels a little lack-luster, but I still love this song. The bridge is kinda lit, but overall, not my favorite song on the album.

Rating; 7/10

Go Hard

My thoughts; Literally my favorite song on the whole album. The instrumental is so addicting and the rap-style pre-chorus slaps. I especially love the subtle hints in the lyrics they add to their previous songs.

Rating; 10/10

Shot Clock

My thoughts; This song reminds me of their Japanese comeback releases, not that that's a bad thing. I enjoy this song, although it's not my favorite.

Rating; 7.5/10

Handle It

My thoughts; I love the lyrics. The song somehow gives me a swaying feeling from the way they sing and the instrumental. I wish this song was longer.

Rating; 9/10

Depend on You

My thoughts; The instrumental is really nice, no critiques for this instrumental. I love the bridge, it's really relaxing idk. Overall, I love the really calm feeling the song gives me.

Rating; 9/10

Say Something

My thoughts; I LOVE the retro vibe this instrumental gives me. The tune is very relaxing and then the instrumental adds this like retro ballad feel in my opinion. It's so good.

Rating; 10/10

Behind The Mask

My thoughts; I love everything about this song...other than the chorus. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the chorus, it's really good, but for some reason, the chorus feels too distant and dissociated from other parts of the song. Separate, the chorus is amazing, but it feels unattached to me. I love the bridge, and the meaning the lyrics is really thoughtful and deep. I might grow to like it in the future, as I do most of TWICE b-sides, but as of right now, I think it's one of my least-favorite. I'm sorry if you like this song, i do too, it's just not my fav T-T

Rating; 6.5/10

Overall thoughts; I love this album, there are seriously no skips for me. One of my favorite TWICE albums ever

Quote from glitglpwm

I love most of the songs on the album. The only ones I don't vibe with is shot clock and bring it back. My favorites are: ICSM, Hell in heaven, handle it, go hard and believer. I love to listen to "believer" when doing laundry lol.

the album is song good fr

i think shot clock is a lot like their old releases from their like first couple albums, bring it back is one of my favs, but ik everyone has different music tastes lol

Hell In Heaven is a masterpiece

13. Shot Clock

I loved Up No More, especially the pre-chorus and the lines they gave Jeongyeon, written by God Jihyo herself.

I didn't really like Shot Clock, even though it was a good song. It just felt incomplete and too familiar, it reminded me a lot of Fanfare.

Display More

lmao ya it took me like 40 mins to write when i first made it

Up No More is top tier lmao its great, from the message to the line distribution, its perfect

i agree that Shot Clock was very familiar, i personally like it, but ik everyone has their own music tastes lol

Quote from taesv6

yall but jihyos vocals in hell in heaven

RIGHT her vocals are godly fr, i love her

Quote from rainbowblink224

Yep!

I can see you're a big fan of retro styled music. I agree, I think that it's nice. I liked Say Something because it felt so retro and was a like a city pop but I can describe it but, I didn't like it that much for some reason.

retro styled music just hits different

Say Something is so good, it kind of reminds me of like 80s japanese pop like Stay With Me by Miki Matsubara

also Mago is great, ik its not twice lmao but its fr one of my favorite retro styled songs

Quote from rainbowblink224

OMG I loved Mago! It's such a good song

Yep! That's what city pop is, Japanese/Korean pop songs from 70s - 90s with a disco/retro-like feel

mago is a masterpiece lmao

oof i did not know that, but i do now

Quote from 7hr43q2o32

best twice album as a whole, but icsm is one of twice's weaker title tracks

i agree with the album statement, but the second statement...

im jp, everyone has different tastes in music
