I finally understand why EXO-Ls want more comebacks and promotions. Listening to Lucky One and wow, why is their discography sounding like electric wine aged finely for the next evolutionary leap of homo sapiens? Like, **** off. :chick3: This music is hitting harder than a wrecking ball. SM's male vocalists are outta this world I gotta say.

 

ARTIFICIAL LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

:WAP: im done. i got so many of their albums to dive into again :gaycat7: im too darn tired for this right now. im getting flashbacks to when i listened to f(x)'s Red Light album at like 2am before I had to go to school in the morning. the absolute scalpage while everyone was asleep. Dracula alone fought the sleep paralysis demons away right then and there

SM made a Superior HARD 15 years ago

More proof that the DBSK>SHINee>EXO Dynasty was SM’s boy Group peak musically. Poor Suju🤭

Listened to ATEEZ's new ep because I was bored and I like Bouncy. 

 

 

It was a onslaught of constant loud sounds and switchups. I am a huge fan of Itzy, NCT, and some SKZ music though so I didn't dislike it. Just was expecting at least one chill bop and got none.

 

All of their music can't be like this though can it? I need to go find a guide on ATEEZ music if I do decide to listen to them again.

For ATEEZ I would recommend their ZERO:FEVER Part.3 mini-album. I loved this EP and it's perfect for more chill bops.

 

 

 

Utopia is another good, more chill ATEEZ B-side (they even made it a Japanese title track) from a different mini-album:

 

 

Jongho was going IN with his VOCALS! :flame: :bloo: I love love love the woahs in the chorus. :alexz3:

 

This side of ATEEZ is what almost turned me into a stan. I might have to try the rest of their discography one day. Skimming through their new mini-album... I can see what you mean, it is more aggressive and noisy than my recs here which I don't particularly like. When I listen to ATEEZ, I mainly listen to that one ZERO:FEVER Part.3 EP + the Utopia song and maybe their debut tracks lol I feel like a 1/4 stan :skull:

 

This album is also fantastic for their more chill side:

 

 

In particular their piano ballad Be With You is stunning:

shouldve been her generation's jennie

she had PEAK editorial and commercial appeal

and had much more western appeal than jawsica

she couldve ruled new york, london, paris like jennie :jonny5:

 

SM fumbled the bag so hard with her + fx, now she's stuck doing brand deals for nugu skincare

Worst part is she was young enough to actually debut with BLACKPINK

 

If she was in the BP lineup her and Jisoo would be a similar age :toofunny3:

 

She would add so much flair to BP

Yeah a group of 5 members with all blonde hair as a concept is surely not going get called similar to a group of 5 members with all blonde hair as a concept.

 

With the same art director for both.

 

Zero relation.

 

Obviously.

So it's blonde hair only that makes concept look similar? Got it :bird:

Queens of live band versions :jonny: we need them to upload the coachella Intro + Pink Venom.

 

 

 

 

The NewJennies ASAP teaser reminded me of Twice’s More & More :bird:

 


whew the BEAUTY in this :jonny6:

ATEEZ is sooo my style when they do this kind of music, whyyyy :weeps: 

 

It's giving me TXT. I prefer TXT when they do pop/dance than all the rock. I like some of the rock like Everlasting Shine, a legendary song, but it is a bit much sometimes especially when they comeback and it's rock... and you have to wait 1 whole year later and... it's rock again... you have to wait another year again again :rip:

 

 

 

 

I have to check out their discography again though. I feel like I messed up and listened to it wrong somehow, maybe the wrong order? :skull: I only listened to a small chunk too but I wasn't feeling their noisier, more aggressive stuff

Cause right now I'm listening to their ZERO:FEVER EPILOGUE album and yesss :allears: these are the vibesss and the voCALS. Jongho deserves more recognition for that voice!

 

Be With You is a beautifullllll piano ballad :chick3:

I won't lie, I don't like most of ATEEZ title tracks but I heard some B-Side the other day, and the music is not bad.

 

I was shocked, I was appalled. I was confused, I was conflicted. I was concerned... But I was intrigued.

So I'm getting into their discography.

Ateez music is not bad, their title tracks mostly are questionable but their discog overall isn’t the worst thing. If I had not heard other boygroups who were already serving what Ateez was serving and more, I probably would have been a fan. Some of the members are quite talented too. So for me it was mostly timing. 

The Shinee title is just so bad:rip: what's with SM's obsession to turn every group of their into a NCT subunit?:rip:

How is ‘having blonde hair’ a concept? :skull:

The blonde hair is part of a cottagecore/midsommar/fairy/European woods concept, please direct me to when f(x) did that?  

NJ’s concept for ASAP is definitely ICC + 4 Walls esque. It also gave me some RR teaser vibes. RV you’ll always be famous :gaycat5:

 

Sounds like a massive bop.

idk newjeans really does seem like they come from the f(x)- red velvet lineage, i see them as their half sister group from a new marriage 

Speaking of SM Subunits, TTS is still the best SM ever produced.


Notice the versatility and Quality of thier products! Show a 4th Gen SM Stan what SM is capable of when they try different concepts that don’t sound like there label sister & Brother groups! Even when they made Noisy music like Holler, the mini album is still amazing vocally and production wise for the time. And sounds fresher then half of the songs coming out of the company today

no, obviously. concept is cottagecore fairy/elves and none of the mentioned groups have done it. one group had photoshoot and mv in forest, another had blonde hair and apparently min heejin is reusing "concept" :rip:

that's fair way to put it imo. after all, the art belongs to the same person. she has learnt from trials and errors and has definitely perfected/refined her sense of art direction. 

 

users who say she is creatively bankrupt are straight up lying. :deadbanana2:

F(X) did this concept with Electric shock album photoshoot in 2012. But they didn’t have blonde hair😆 they just had a cottage core fairy concept. 

 

but some users here are doing the most as usual. Like it’s the first time a group has a similar image. I still have the physical album and all the photos are them outside in a forest with an elf concept. But still people are overreacting🤣

Edited by Gorjesspazze9

seeing newjeans thrive, serve, and be appreciated the way they are makes me very happy as someone who got into kpop through f(x)

 

they seem like what f(x) could have been with proper care invested into them. **** sm forever and always :monkey:
