nct 2020.
bro. these talented humans did not disappoint. 10 out of 10 recommend giving this killer album a listen. there are various types of beats on this album. i love it. seriously.
track by track.
make a wish (birthday song). this set is crazy. i cannot with the visuals. the editing is stellar. this was a great debut for shotaro. xiaojun this boy’s vocals! taeyong and jaehyun going back and forth is too much to handle. lucas killed it. im seriously not okay with jaemin (or anyone from dream) doing these concepts, still messes with me. THE BREAK DOWN, and our new nugget having center formation. doyoung whistling, i’m not okay.
misfit. this track. literally. i cannot with the vibes and track itself. i cannot with all of their flows. it’s killer. i love this nctU formation. and another new nugget, sungchan. he fits perfectly. he didn’t hold back. not okay with hendery rapping, he did soooo good. mark killin’ it per usual. (this hair though...unsure how i feel). JOHNNY MY MAN, GET YO LINES. GET IT HONEY. this look. (wondering why some have more outfits and sets than others...sm honey why you do this?) LA LA LA LA LA LA. literally my favorite part, and i love this part in the track video.
volcano. i missed lucas and taeyong’s vocals together. i feel it should have been renamed, ‘bounce’ hahaha more straightforward. get your lines WINWIN. JUNGWOO MY BOO. GET YOUR ISH HONEY. doyoung did not come to play, his vocals slay. jungwoo those honey vocals are too much. that harmony with jaehyun.
light bulb. oh my goodness this group is small but mighty. kun and doyoung’s vocals in the same space are killer. sungchan i love what he brings to the rapping element of nct. major ‘yestoday’ vibes.
dancing in the rain. love this one. johnny and jaehyun together. vocalist in nct don’t play. JAEHYUN RAPPING. GET IT YUTA! seriously one of my faves, it is so cute. drip drop we’re walking down the street together.
interlude: past to present. their interludes. seriously i love these tracks.
deja vu. nct dream did not come to play. the iconic ‘la la la la la’ comes back. this was a precious track video. dream is precious and they will forever be my children.
nectar. wayv did not hold back on this one. is this a ‘love talk’ 2.0 i cannot with this group. seriously yangyang’s rapping slays, and i cannot with their honey vocals. and kun, my honey bun sugar plum did a fantastic job. and i would die for more solo covers/tracks from him because his voice is sooooo good. i love how wayv’s vocals meld so well together. and i love ten’s, ‘dancing in the moon light alone alone’. ICONIC. (me being a spicy nctzen, would have loved to see a track video for this one, praying it will happen one day)
music, dance. jaehyun. this man. i cannot. the opening gets me every time. i could have had more jungwoo vocals, but seriously i love nct127. DOYOUNG vocals slay my existence, and taeil. DROP THE BEAT! this is a great work out jam. SO FANCY. AND I LIVE WITH HAPPY JOHNNY WITH LINES. also jaehyun is perfect in all languages, like his tone of voice is butter. HAECHAN’s vocals!!! the bridge, our vocalist SLAY. the ad libs. and the beat. the juxtaposition of the two is too much to handle.
faded in my last song. oh my goodness, i love it the piano. JOHNNY AND JAEHYUN. the melding of vocals. i love this combination. ten’s vocals, i missed ten and jaehyun in a track. i don’t know if i have said it yet, but lucas tone just adds so much to the track. RENJUN this child’s vocals are no joke. the keys coming back to the focal point at the end!
from home. we stan vocal kings. AHHHHHHHHHHH. no words. just filled with the honey butter vocals. they’re so smooth. seriously get that mandarin in there boys. our multilingual kings. i cannot with this, the melding of all the groups, is just making my heart burst from joy. ‘you are not alone anymore’ that ad lib get it taeil. ‘and we start from here, our home’ ahhhh just leave me in a puddle of my tears.
thoughts...
honestly ‘make a wish’ not my pick for title track, but it slayed and broke our records for views in 24 hours, so i’m proud!
but where is winwin, yuta, and my boo jungwoo...also i need more visual tracks for all my men. i am definetly excited for the next music video!
