So uh

Looks like CL's full studio album Alpha might finally be releasing this summer

Sounds about right, she's been getting in mad shape and is a judge on the new season of Super Band. Slowly been gearing up for the release all year. Really hope she's going to promote on music shows.

Mmm I'm gonna buy it and support them but for the first time nothing from it stands out.

It's just the preview so of course things can change but I imagined sooner or later their run of immaculate mini albums would hit a slight snag. And last year's releases were both flawless so I can't really complain.

I'll be very happy to be proven wrong tho.

Sounds promising to me. A new twist but still LOONA style. PTT (especially with the other bits in the MV teasers) and Wow are the two standouts from that teaser for me.

I love the beat and some vocal moments but there’s a lot going on. Gonna have to listen a lot more to figure out what I think but I lean towards liking it more than Why Not so far too (I like Why Not). They kill the performance though, what great choreo

PTT is not what I was expecting at all, even for the album preview it feels like they picked the least representative part. The chorus is just kind of Blackpinkish and it doesn't have anything as catchy as "ooh la la awae awae awae" but the video is cool

Yeah it lacks a good hook

I keep trying but it's grating

The song feels low energy despite "going hard"

Idk I was bummed following itzy and Everglow doing similar comebacks so I'm just praying this trend dies off

Non melodic otomonopea filled choruses make me feel like a toddler

PTT wasn’t at all what I expected but I enjoyed the desi vibes lol. The “latatata” part of the chorus definitely sounds more like BP to me, not really the sound I associate with LOONA.

This is a loving banger :eyepop: Dream is really growing on me as a group, I love the vocals in this and they’ve been so sharp in the music show performances I’ve seen. The hippie concept is cute too, but what is up with the Men In Black tribute in the middle lmao

I overall like the song, but I agree that the chorus is the weakest part. The style switch isn't bad, but I think it feels low energy because the tempo drops to half time and you have the big bass/edm thing come in, but the vocals basically just stay the same. Gets contrasted a bit more because the choreo adapts to the music really well, so you have some pretty hard hitting stuff there, but vocally they stick to a pretty narrow feel outside of the bridge. Having some sort of fiercer/stronger tone thing going on and having the 'la-ta-ta' thing being a more background sound would make it really good to me.

I think what makes me like the chorus less isn't the style change, but that it doesn't seem to retail the bollywood/indian influenced instrumentation during the drop. Once it comes back in the sound is a lot better.


In a different setting I don't think it'd bother me, like if you're at some sort of venue it'd work really well.

Honestly I tend to like Twice's japanese releases a bit more, I don't know if they actually work with a different producer or not for them, but I notice that they tend to write the parts a bit more towards the member's ranges. It is the most apparent with Momo, in their korean releases they tend to make her sing higher, while in the japanese releases it is a bit lower and sounds a ton better.

I liked this track, the video feels like a JYP (the artist) title track. The sort of 'super-over-the-top on the joke' worked out really well. I'm think I might have found it even better if they'd have started off with small/minor things and built up to the apocalypse.

It's so weird liking an NCT title track on the first listen. :lol: Hot Sauce the album turned out to be one of my faves of the year so far, even Hot Sauce the song grew on me, as I predicted. I'm glad for the repackage just so I don't have to see the creepy hot sauce bottle anymore

MIDWIFE CRISIS

Ta gueule, laisse-moi finir.
Yeah, I already liked the Hot Sauce album a lot and these new songs are great upon first listen. I always end up loving everything Moonshine are involved in and they have writing credits on FIVE of the songs on Hello Future, including the title track, so it was basically engineered to be an album-of-the-year contender for me.

I have the impression from following SM groups in general that NCT Dream have always been a low-priority group in comparison to NCT 127 and even SuperM, so it’ll be interesting to see if that changes after this monster comeback. They received more music show wins for Hot Sauce than any other NCT release.

They’re the only group to join BTS in the 2 million copies sold club so it’s crazy to imagine they won’t get huge promo going forward. I only gave Hot Sauce two listens and it didn’t grab me at all but need to check out the bsides.

People just want more title tracks like Butterfly (nothing wrong with that, I love that song so much) so the more hard hitting last 3 title tracks have not been what they want. I love the new strong and aggressive girl group concepts that aren't just male gaze appeal. I think Loona has done well with pleasing both old fans and pushing new styles like with Why Not and Star both getting a video.

Only thing I'm not liking about PTT is the video is so performance heavy and pretty limited in scope compared to their past expansive videos with shots from around the world, but given covid and everything that's pretty minor. Song wise I'd like the chorus to cut the third "la ta ta ta" and go straight into that second part with the bollywood melody. The final chorus with the changed up rhythmic part is better too, but I don't know if it'd fit the earlier choruses.

I feel like these songs are the more recent How You Like That style from BP, which was a shadow of their former stuff. Would love more stuff like Playing With Fire, REALLY, and Forever Young tbh.

I mean I like it and its a natural progression (finally some type of progression) for BP. They’ve been stuck on the teddy trap sound for a bit too long and can just feel so formulaic (kill this love and how you like that come to mind)

I hate that song lol, and felt crazy when there were people saying it was their only song they kinda like. But to my huge surprise I didn’t really like any songs from The Album. I thought the mashup of Ice Cream + RV Bad Boy was amazing, so maybe different production was the way to go if Teddy has lost it. Was there someone else writing with him for their earlier stuff that wasn’t there for The Album? It was just so different, uninspired, and felt like YG just wanted to cash in on the popular Western sound after like the Coachella success.
