Windy Day Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) 10 minutes ago, Rhyme said: It's a widespread problem in Kpop. Everything is so intentional in Kpop from the clothes to the hair to the images to the videos even to the nails but when you get to the actual music....you have songs named BAHAMA and Long Note on an album named Armageddon. The Girls EP is probably the worst offender out of aespa's discog. Girls and Illusion go so hard and then you have Lingo/ICU/Lifes Too Short after the other. I'm open to aespa trying all genres (don't really like Kpop ballads as a whole though cause theu don't feel genuine) but its just not fun when you press shuffle & you're slayed by this hard hitting song with Winter/Ningning singing their hearts out while a beat pounds your ears....and then the next song is the world's sweetest song. It's a downer. omg i had exactly the same conversation with my irl yesterday and said the exact same thing about girls :s savage is immaculate thought and even the "ballad" on it is a serve so i dont understand what happened to them kpop used to serve amazing full albums though. reboot is lowkey a timeless masterpiece. i wish companies tried more to emulate that kind of album, but as you said, it's more about the visuals than the music now (and before anyone say that kpop was always like that, it's simply not true. we're living the worst era of kpop in terms of music) nowaday the norm is literally to tease a release for at least a month and a half with 4 concept photoshoots, preorders of 10 versions and tons of other useless stuff, then only 1 week of promotion when the actual music is out before ending the era (literally a few days after the album release???) like what the **** happened to THE MUSIC????

But Aespa and RV have been doing thier thing. But throw on some SHINee or EXO and it's just facts. Pre 2017 SM was Elite And I'll die on this hill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odette Violet Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) Each of the songs have different mood and I like it. I like the unpredictability of it all like I don't get this cohesive complaints but at the same time praising Savage for being that album when Yeppi2 then Lucid Dreams are in it, sounds like it don't belong on the same album. That's just me I guess Edited May 9 by Odette Violet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's obvious the concepts are so well thought out that I wish it extended to the music. It's enjoyable when you can put on an album when you're working or studying or cooking etc & not have to worry about running over to skip the song. This is probably one reason NewJeans blew up so quickly. When you press play on Get Up, every song evokes the same feeling or vibe so you aren't jolted by the sudden shock of a different energy. Same thing with Savage. I don't want aespa to stick to one sound their whole career, just stick to one sound every album. I'll probably just end up making a playlist for Armageddon tbh 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just me I guess lucid dream still has that electronic / pc music inspired sound while being a "ballad" it's not like they threw forever at the end of savage and called it a day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy Day Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 the way lucid dream is calmer than the rest of the album but still has those loud electronic moments that makes it perfect as savage's closing song 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who hurt you, bb? 5 hours ago, Zack said: Long Chat is sounding like the only chop for me so far. Could have had the remix ver. of Hold On Tight on the album instead of that to be honest. Zack once again spilling 5 hours ago, Mattheo said: it's true SM completely lost the plot with their albums after savage so i lowkey was expecting that What? My World is undeniably the best mini of last year and a standout in K-pop as a whole. 5 hours ago, Pikachu said: honestly not surprised with the lighter songs nearing the end because the korean fans seem to like those kinda songs more It's how albums typically worked in the late 90s/early 2000s and it's literally an SM staple in concerts. They always like to leave on a sweet note. 4 hours ago, Supervillain said: Why the hell did we get the medley so early though The album is 3 weeks away We're getting track videos before the album comes out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternium Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 2 hours ago, Rhyme said: Some of you intentionally being confused and thinking asking for a cohesive project = hating on aespa No one likes hearing a song like Supernova and then hearing a song like Long Chat right after. It makes for an unpleasant listening experience. Not everyone puts one song per album on repeat. Listening to an album on Shuffle and then judging the album is always going to be wrong. I will die on that hill. Cohesion isn't about every song sounding the same, it's about the album transitioning well while maintaining its identity.

Cohesion isn't about every song sounding the same, it's about the album transitioning well while maintaining its identity. Listening to it chronologically would make the problem even worse. Every song doesn't have to sound the same to be cohesive either. I listed NewJeans Get Up as an example where the songs all give the same song but ETA sounds very different from Cool With You and NewJeans. Savage too with how aenergy sounds but it still fits with the title track and Lucid Dream with the metallic elements and booming bass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueberry Kisses Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I do not love the sound of Aespa's album but Supernova sounds cool so judgment will be reserved for that. Idk if I agree about SM having a decline in quality though, it's more so just Aespa I too don't really understand why their great and consistent sound from Savage has been thrown out the window. Most of their b-sides after that just seem like someone spinning a wheel at the demo store. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
