š - does nothing for me and is offensive

š š AH! LOVE
I mean in concept its my dream sduighfugihdk but in executionā¦I do like that AH! echoing in the chorus lolol I wish there was more of that sort of vibe. I bet scoups was like omg jeongcheol duet star eyes and jeonghan was like aw we should include josh! I mean this is more good as like, a comedy skit rather than something Iād be able to listen to without thinking of my lore and skits and such. Jeonghan sounds nice on the second chorus! Served a honey voice at the end there lol. Always happy to hear scoups sing! I think he has a nice voice /gen like very pleasant vocal color. Trying to get him to care, thoughā¦
š All my Love
That part with josh going āitās alright oh itās okayā was kinda giving me āI feel good cuz I donāt feel badā J.Lo vibes lmfao. This song is like fine itās not gonna make me shit my pants or anything but I like listening to people I like sing the good song and all. I kinda need woozi sometimesā¦the synths that show up for one second are a tease why not incorporate those as the song progresses? Then again youāre the artistsā¦not iā¦DID SEUNGKWAN JUST SING IN A BEAUTIFUL VOICE THAT HEāD MAKE LOVE TO ME TONIGHT? OMGGGGG WAIT I LOVE THIS SONG!!! They always give jeonghan the dramatic ending lines donāt they
š Do Re Mi
I meanā¦theyāreā¦my little guys, soā¦I wouldnāt listen to this voluntarily but what am I gonna do, call it bad!? First of all its not BAD and second of all that would be like spitting all over a kindergartenerās first coherent drawing of their house and family. Like I need them to make more songs together because they make the most sense to me as a unit (dancer rapper singer hoo ha the whole world works) so Iām going to give them plenty of encouragement. Some cute sounds happening around the bridge, I definitely like that. I like the artistic use of autotune as well! Good for you guys!!! Keep doing what you do!!!
š š Hey Buddy
Umā¦what am I listening to right now? First of DK is selling the SHIT out of this, he washes the other two but the contrast is also making this fun to listen to. I feel like this is the kinda song Iād play as a joke until I ended up unironically liking it to an insane degree and then I donāt leave anyone alone. Jesus chriiiiiiiiiiiiiist dk is just so good. My god. Also is this likeā¦homoerotic? Or is that an accident? Like yeah thatās your ābuddyā ā¦ itās giving those toxic same-sex turbobestfriends youād have in middle school lmfao.
š Light a Flame
Ohhā¦the sex song withā¦Wonuās seductive rap lmdfgiuhdfā¦like I swear everyone in this song is edgingā¦good for them, though! I do think theyāre the sexy unit oddly enough so Iām glad they also recognize that and play it up. Woozi sounds kinda like he needs me I shouldnāt be listening to this while Iām ovulating whatās wrong with me! I mean I think I like this the most of the unit songs and not just for āsex sellsā reasonsā¦even tho thatās obviously factoring into it. Itās just the most immediate of them if that makes sense. Like no need to grow on me im there. Im there. Im in there.
š HOME;RUN
This and L&R was such a good one-two punch wasnāt itā¦take me back! Cant stress enough how bad they ate this upā¦and the styling like yesss your weird uncle at the casino! Also this era MIGHT have one of my favorite jeonghans of all time so im incapable of listening to this song withoutā¦thinking of himā¦his dreamy eyes and Oikawa hairā¦but unironically I do think this sort of music suits them stupidly well plus it allows for fun theatrical dancing and such. AND itās sort of like grown up freshteen so you can have your cake and eat it too. Im not sure why they havenāt gone back to this sort of concept and I hope they end up there if they regroup post enlistment era.
