Holy crap! Holy shit!
I feel like I need to preface this by saying that I'm not a Nevie. While I enjoy some of idle's music - at least to a point where I actively look forward to and check out their new releases - I'm not a stan.
And my main gripe with them was the main gripe I usually have with 90% of k-pop groups. I felt like most of their b-sides were fillers. Nice fillers, but still fillers. The only idle b-side I've ever gone back to multiple times is Maybe.
But then I Burn happened. And I'm freakin blown away. Not only is Hwaa one of their best title tracks (top-3 for sure), their entire album is amazing. It's an absolutely no-skip album for me, the one I've already put on repeat multiple times (and will continue to do so).
(Moon and Lost, to me, are especially noteworthy. And even Dahlia, which I think is the weakest b-side on the album, is still fire, specifically due to Soyeon's verse)
This album, to me, is the definition of what growth for a k-pop group should look like.
(Just... talk to me about this guys, I have a mighty need).
