Dreamcatcher: "Apocalypse: Save Us" Album Discussion Thread

This is going to sound very unpopular but I didn't like Maison. Maybe I will after a couple of listens. But Starlight, Cherry, Together and Entracing are my favourites.

Ok, I just go through all the songs.

Of course Maison is a BOP.

Songs I LOVE -

Locked Inside A Door

Starlight

Always - I usually don't like ballads but this is good!

Playground - Someone have Gahyeon produce cute songs, this sounds so good

Songs I like -

Together

Cherry

Entrancing

For - I absolutely love the vocals and adlib and the gramophone....

Beauty Full - very 90s rock, love it

Songs I'm not a fan of.

No Dot

Winter

Skit - Wish they used this track in a song instead...

Yooh releasing a Christmas-sounding bop in May

My current ranking! I think. It's so hard to decide, and I know after a few months or years, what settles out may be completely different, lol. But I'm pretty pleased; it's a pretty funky little album.

1. Beauty Full - It kind of reminds me of B1A4's OK, and I love it. It makes me want to bust out an air guitar.
2. Maison - I really like the different message that's still fitting within the Dreamcatcher themes of apocalypse, utopia, exploration, etc. It's different from them, but it still suits them.
3. Starlight - A bit more poppy from them than usual, but I'm jamming. Dami sounds fantastic with her rap here.
4. Locked Inside a Door - so groovy!
5. No Dot - aiaiaiaiai~
6. Cherry - A nice funky solo.
7. Playground - I like the sing-talky ~ah yeah yeah~ it's a lot of fun.
8. Entrancing - It has a magical sort of feel to it, I like it.
9. For - It reminds me of a waltz for some reason.
10. Winter - I especially like the end when the instruments drop out and it's just her voice.
11. Always - They sound lovely here, but I'm not a big ballad person.
12. Together - It's a little less cohesive than Always, imo. It's not bad, but I don't see me seeking it out deliberately with any regularity.

Unpopular opinion but I'm not really enjoying Starlight as much as others. Idk, maybe I'm just kinda tired of those kind of synthpop Anyway excluding Starlight and Always, I feel like the album is pretty solid. It's really varied so you could say that the album is kinda lacking in identity and not really cohesive sound-wise but honestly I don't care about it since the variety of the sound is making the 44 minutes runtime not feel like 44 minutes.

The members's solo is my fave part of the album just because of how fun it is, JiU's being my fave

I'm just now listening to the album and locked inside a do

Locked inside a Door is soooo good

It's so funky I love it

My biggest complain is why there is not any heavier song in the b sides.

From the main tracks, I enjoyed Together best but if I were to pit it against the best of DC's previous albums, I don't think it will hold out long. I wished it would've gone deeper in the chorus drop I couldn't get into Locked Inside A Door for the time being, not too impressed by Starlight and I'm generally not a big fan of these mellow and slow songs (and this breed already has Polaris as their untoppable best for a foreseeable future)

Skit: The Seven Doors was amusing to listen to as well, I liked it and thought it served as a great barrier.

For the solos, a tiered cake with Playground, For and Entrancing as the layers and Cherry as the cherry on top

I'm really glad that JiU who is my favorite in DC released my favorite solo with a very favorable name as well. It being about her dear Cherry made it the more sweeter. A lovely feel-good song to jig in your room to which I've admittedly done a few times ever since it dropped.

Playground and For are roughly on the same level for me. Yoo's vocals and its ability to better convey a vibe just placed it higher than Playground. Entrancing was surprisingly pleasant as well, a very winter-snow-path-with-a-black-backdrop song and I thought it was very Siyeon. Will be adding that to a playlist.

Winter felt too generic k-chill playlist for cafe studying for me and it's not the type I usually go for when I do look for that feeling but I did like her using Mandarin in the end. I don't particularly care for Beauty Full and No Dot.

Okay I think my ranking goes like this (not including skit and intro) -

1. Locked inside a door
2. Playground
3. Together
4. Always
5. Maison
6. Beauty full
7. No dot
8. Starlight
9. Entrancing
10. For
11. Cherry
12. Winter
