You gave forever young 6/10?? bye
Sorry
I agree with your rating for d4
Ikr
citron-icy Here you go!!
Sounds like an immense undertaking.
Maybe try something small-scale first like the Twice discography
Good one.
Alright.....
Let's get it....
1. DDU-DU-DDU-DU
Jingle bell percussion? See now That's extremely rare. Very unique sounding..
Bass is heavy. Good Pre-chorus and build-up. Pretty good chorus, actually even though I find spelling out "DDU-DU" a bit cringe.
First Highlight of the song is obviously Jennie's Rap. Fire verse. Props for the pitched-up vocals in the back during the verse.
Second highlight is the last drop with that flute... Top 5 KPOP drops of all-time tbh.
Starting off really strong. Iconic song.
Rating :- 9.75/10
2. Forever Young
Unexpected direction.. I thought this would be a mellow ballad.
Bouncy vibe and I dig the use of vocal samples. I don't like the use of pitched down horn in the chorus. Sounds weird to me. The contrast doesn't work out imo.
Second verse drags.
Basically first half of the song is really good but second half is a big let down.
Rating :- 6/10 ( +1.5 Just for the first half)
3. Really
Am I the only one finding similarities in this and SKZ's B me? The way they sing "Really" and "B Me" respectively is very similar.
Dislike Lisa's rap here. Chorus is nice, it's catchy but not that strong.
Bruh.. That "Ha Ha He He Ho Ho" made me cackle.
Alright song.
Rating :- 7/10
4. See U Later
I love the intro. Chorus is eh... Nothing special.
However the instrumental is perhaps my favorite part of the song. It's very comforting.
Rating :- 6.25/10 (+1 for the instrumental)
Conclusion :- Alright single album. The first song is so strong that following track don't hold up as well.
Final Rating :- 72.5%
What are your thoughts on this album? On this review?
Square up has amazing songs tho I love all of them ❤️
Square up is their best project
Noted
I reviewed The Album in old forums, I think.
Which album is the best to start with... I know they only have one album till now... But there must be a fan favorite single album???
It's literally evoking sadness and feeling of separation. Very gloomy intro and vibe throughout the song. I love the rap parts in the song. Also the last "Ah" part is eery and unsettling... I love it.
people did use to do that before. However, I do think there has been an increase in discussion about streaming matching sales.
Finally someone understanding the nature of the thread.
Edit :- Corrected a typo
Then why did you make this thread eye-
Felt like it...
Lol what are you talking about Daniel you sound like you joined kpop recently.
Streams and sales were always comparable. It wasn’t a thing because there wasn’t a huge gap before.
It’s a valid concern and for me one without the other is a negative point against the group. (I’m talking globally) Ofc you can say you don’t care about it but that won’t stop it from being a relevant measure.
2 years... Sound recently to me...
Maybe you only felt it now because it’s something relevant to you. Before it wasn’t so you don’t focus on it much. Well that’s my 2 cents lol
Whatever
I remember lurking here early 2018 and people were sharing sales and streams and touring numbers since then, so not sure why you just noticed it now.
Because I wasn't an active fan but based on what I read on forums and twitter about Pre-2020... It wasn't quite like today
And I think you missed the point of this thread....so you do you.
the timing of this thread feels too suspicious, but okay daniel
Timing? Did something happen?
What I noticed...
Success of a poorly-received song will improve because of it's success.
In last few days,
I have observed this persistent need to compare streams with sales... It has never been done before in KPOP... Nobody cared about matching streams and sales back in 2012-13-14-15-16-17-18-19... But ever since 2020-21... There marked a shift...
There is a common denominator here. Rise of NCT. It's like people cannot understand why so many people buy NCT's albums and why they sell so much... And it's just funny to observe this...
Now I can't wait for other mental gymnastics these people do.. Because it's only upward from here...
This thread is not intended to br shady but if you want to feel called out, BE MY FCKING GUEST.
