outside of the singles Aespa's album was mostly garbaj and people should start saying it.

 

that tracklist had more filler than Park Bom

 

[Save-Me-Oprah]

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

I tried so hard to love the album when it was released but it just didn't click with me. i'm used with messy sm albums because its always been this way since snsd and all the nct albums are literally like this but the songs are just not that good sadly

 

aespa have made their point that they can do variety of genres in 1 album with armageddon album, drama and my world minis. 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 😭

[Nein]

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.

this is why the RIIZE album was bop after bop btw, 5 out of the 8 songs were singles 

 

the only real turds were those two OneDirection demo b-sides

oop  took me a few seconds to figure out the song, i completely forgot about it

 

[hallucinate]

wait the acclaim

[illia]

Twitter is so full of cupcake kpop stans I'm surprised mys are panning the album (rightfully so)

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

The aes are back! 

 

 

Kwangya haters won't gonna like this. I swear someone told us they completely abandoned them

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. 

[Rhyme]

Love logging on to see Armageddon (album tracks) being dragged  You know it's

horrid when even stans like me can't listen to it and I tried REALLY hard to like it.

[Odette Violet]

SM and aespa not giving **** about cohesive albums and I'm all here for the tears.

 

 

Savage was a fluke, My World outsold >>>>>

right? weren't the girls said that this is the album they have the most input like they genuinely loves the process doing it

 

 

their so called fans / music critic needs to move on and leave those fluke album in 2021 or find other groups to stan

I just think the whole multiverse concept of the album flew over most people's heads 

(Or in the case of haters, they don't care and are just looking for any excuse to drag)

 

That was the whole point of showing different "channels" in the teasers and why they called the track videos "Universe" which I actually wish they had done more of.

 

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.

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"

 

[Xalric]

 

 

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.

 

 

[New Edition]

 

people are trying to spin this as a success but this is legit awful.  The song is flopping everywhere too

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?

[Save-Me-Oprah]

 

do we think Key has a shot at becoming the worlds oldest twink someday

Minus Long Chat (sorry @youresotoxic I just hate the song), yes I can. Licorice, Live My Life and Mine especially.

 

I really like the album and the girls themselves clearly worked hard on it and have openly stated that. Do I think MY WORLD + Drama would have been a better full album? Probably, but I think with Armageddon they steered themselves out of a tricky patch and showed what the group can do as a whole.

 

If we were having this conversation about Girls, I would be agreeing, since I think that is their worst album tracklist wise. But Armageddon? It's great.
