Rainy Devil Posted Wednesday at 05:23 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:23 PM I actually like most of Armageddon (album). The songs on their own are fine, the problem is that is not sonically cohesive. Maybe that is why I enjoy the songs the most when I listen to them in a playlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Save-Me-Oprah Posted Wednesday at 05:25 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:25 PM outside of the singles Aespa's album was mostly garbaj and people should start saying it. that tracklist had more filler than Park Bom 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Save-Me-Oprah Posted Wednesday at 05:30 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:30 PM SM just doesn't waste good songs on album tracks anymore (unless you're Red Velvet) basically if it's not getting a music video or music show promo, you're getting a 4/10 song from the "damn, here…" pile 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope from now on they focus on releasing skipless concept albums like savage cause they're literally top 3 of the most exciting kpop artists right now right… aespa have so much potential but SM is ruining it with their cheap demos and lazy tracklisting it's making me insane 😭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nein Posted Wednesday at 05:51 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:51 PM A reminder MY WORLD is aespa's best mini, NO SKIPS at all. Armageddon album is full of skips indeed. That's why the Parallel Line tour felt like a chore to get through. Everyone agrees the setlist was a chop. Them even removing Illusion and aenergy in the later shows with no replacement was unjustifiable. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pluto6 Posted Wednesday at 06:41 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:41 PM (edited) For me, aespa has always felt more like a "singles artist," delivering really strong title tracks, but their b-sides often come across as filler, meant to support the title track rather than having b-sides standing out on their own Edited Wednesday at 06:42 PM by Pluto6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zack Posted Wednesday at 06:52 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:52 PM Armageddon is a great album. It's not aespa's problem if they have the talent and range to pull off multiple genres and styles. It's ironic because in the past aespa was dragged for "pots and pans" yet now they're being dragged because the whole album didn't sound like Savage etc. and vague terms like "it's not cohesive" are being thrown around, because they didn't just put out a list of samey demos. Their titles stick to their overall concept, but the full album was a great way to show what else they can do, in ways and concepts that wouldn't necessarily work as a title track/comeback. Whether that is pop/rock, ballads or bubblegum pop, it's a showcase of the group, which is a great way to handle a first full length project. They can then focus on whatever specific concepts or sounds fit them more in future projects. When the whole group is charismatic and can sing like aespa, you don't want to necessarily restrict them into one box. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The album is giving windows into different worlds/sounds/concepts on each track and like I said I think that's a really cool concept for a first full album as it allowed them to play around with different sounds and ideas while still fitting in with their overall image and showcasing the group. Besides I think MY WORLD > anyway but their albums in general are not the "filler full" albums people claim them to be. Within SM, unfortunately SNSD's Korean albums really do truly fit that tag.

Save-Me-Oprah Posted Wednesday at 07:03 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:03 PM nobodys dragging armageddon because it wasnt cohesive, they're dragging it because it was full of low-effort filler to pad the track listing enough to call it an "album" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xalric Posted Wednesday at 07:04 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:04 PM So PSY is trying to kill the kids, Junhyeok revealed that the acrobatics part of their introduction stage was added last minute and Sungjun and Hyunsoo got hurt a lot cause they had to learn how to backflip for it. Which is why Hyunsoo put his hands while doing it. But now we know they are not winning the show. Junhyeok and Hwi already spilled the tea on the show... They knew theme of the songs and and all they just don't know the challenge, they also have the list of song they could and couldn't cover.

I mean outside of the concept and giving the girls a chance to showcase their talents, can you genuinely say Long Chat, Prologue, Melody, Licorice, Live My Life, and Mine are good songs?
