The opinions in here are SO weird I feel like they're not really based on the actual music being released a lot of the time and more so on just...vibes? :deadbanana:

 

On the positive side, I like Taeyong's mini. the title track is deeply weird but I'm kind of here for it. If anything it proves that, as horrible as SM is at...almost everything, they really are one of the only companies releasing music just for the artistic statement. This song is clearly not meant to have mass appeal and is entirely a creative venture and I think that's kind of cool.

UPDATE: Stray Kids’ 5-Star (JYP/Imperial/Republic) will open at #1 in the 200-225k range. Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time (Big Loud/Mercury/Republic) will remain in the runner-up position and Enhypen’s Dark Blood (BELIFT LAB/Geffen) will rumble with Taylor Swift’s Midnights (Republic) for third place.

 

This week's Top 10 should see at least five new titles enter.

The fact that the Taeyong song was THIS bad proves he never should have debuted. Lee Soo Man's obsession with him cursed NCT and that curse remains til this day. It will even infect the next boy group which is already set up to have NCT rejects.

 

SM really has hit rock bottom. 

It’s disgusting how much payola he has gotten throughout the years, which is more than the other +20 members combined! 
————

 

And speaking of SM hitting rock bottom:

The whole SM roster literally feels like 1 gigantic group with every actual group feeling like a sub units under “SM roster” instead of actual distinctive groups if that makes sense. The whole company has adapted the same way NCT are running, to the point where every SM group is starting to lack a strong identity and are more so labeled as part of the SM roster.
This YouTuber explained everything perfectly about what’s wrong with SM ever since NCT debuted

5-Star was my least fave album at least for post Mixtape-I AM trilogy-Clé trilogy era onwards and S-Class was a O.O (I'm on the unlistenable mess camp) level disjointed messy for my liking. Nonetheless I do enjoy most of the b-sides especially DLC, Collision, and FNF :bird:


Yeah, FNF is the best song of the album.

The fact that S-Class is their best performing song ever domestically and even out peaked TWICE mothers AND HITZY’s latest title tracks on Melon, shows that Knetz are starting to warm up to them a little bit. Like imagine if they actually released a GP friendly song or just a better song in general, like it would’ve done way better me thinks :ghostface:

 

Btw, it feels like JYPIG hasn’t been as crazy with the promo this era compared to their previous era with Maxident? They were literally everywhere during Maxident, but this era there hasn’t really been as much? We also need one of the members to appear and Youngji’s drinking show cause every major group who’s just had comebacks had 1 member appearing on the show.

I honestly kind of like S-Class too. Those ugly descending chords in the chorus HAVE to stop, though. They've used them in like their last 3 songs and it's so unnecessary. The rest I can bop to. I don't usually like noise music but the "byeol byeol" part in the second chorus when they layer it with the octaves and harmonies was cool - the song and MV are all over the place but in a campy way, which makes it acceptable to me. I feel like noise songs can be enjoyable if they're fun rather than try-hard/aggressive like you see with a lot of nugus and this one was campy so I'm not mad at it.

 

But I really did not like the album except for that one midtempo in the second half tbh. It felt very one-note and try-hard/aggressive in exactly that unappealing way that turns me off of noise.

This mind-blowing masterpiece. The effortlessly delivered Song of the Year. Britney could release this in 2007 and it'd be an easy #1 :clap3:

Did they charter a tour bus?

 

:cm:

Is there niche demand for nugu groups like these in mid sized cities across the Midwest or something  :deadbanana4:

It's so funny how Jennie's fan-pages are kinda censoring the dance scene. They are not posting the full choreo:rip:

SM needs to go back to thier R&B pop roots for title tracks. I mean noise is fine occasionally since thatswhat drives YouTube Kpop fans interest, but the actual musical downgrade they give to NCT needs to be studied :deadbanana2:

Bring LDN noise back or get Kenzie back online.

Itzy should have gone full camp with sneakers ala Orange Caramel so it could be acceptable. They confused a lot of people with royalty teasers. I still remember fans were thinking they are pranking with actual sneakers snippets like they are playing chess and when actual song reveal they will checkmate the fans that thought snippets were real :hoetenks:

It appears that Hanteo had a glitch, specifically on the realtime sales for [Unlock My World] Regular and Compact versions. The total 1st day sales at the moment is now 83,741 instead of 195,002.

It’s best to wait for tomorrow’s daily update at 10AM KST for the final figure.”

Stray Kids releasing GP friendly songs is risk, cause they've been building their whole brand on being different, 'funnily annoying' as they say and not following trends. And most of the fans are proud of it and became loyal to their music exactly because of it. 

 

Changing the road to something opposite that what they have been selling can go wrong, cause there's no guarantee new people will eat it up and there's chance they would lose their fanbase that likes them exactly because they are not-like-the-others. 

 

I mean, look at the 'rejection' to MAXIDENT. And It isn't THAT friendly. On contrary, 5 STAR is their noisest and by far the most successful. 

 

Just my opinion.
