ᴛʜᴇᴀ'ꜱ ᴛʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛꜱ: Golden Hour : Part.5 - ATEEZ

album overall 𓏲ּ𝄢

y'all know i'm always up for an ateez comeback, i love them so much and i fucking love this album

i gotta give it like a solid 8/10 overall i'm honestly living for it - it's all i've listened to since it came out i'm so serious

but we're about to go through my thoughts song by song - my honest first reaction thoughts + what i think now ݁ ˖Ი𐑼⋆

BAD 𓏲ּ𝄢

಄ first thought: oh i can get shlitty to this 😝

಄ long black hair wooyoung (!!). oh my god. i love that i either didn't keep 100% up to date with promotions or plain forgot (seems unlikely) but the way i slammed pause on my keyboard and stood up out of my chair and danced around my room. still can't get through his parts in one go and have to collect myself before i keep watching (MY WIFE IS BACK HE'S BACK)

಄ furthermore, wooyoung in the bridge?! oh my god yes serenade me sing to me. "MONA LIIISAAA~" SING ITTTTT - his part is on repeat

಄ mingi. full stop. trynna reheat lemon drop mingi and he is FRESHHHH i am so down oh my. like his rap and everything i am loving this era for him.

಄ san. SANNNNN. san. holy fuck. i had to pause and couldn't look at my computer for a hot minute in the dance break/outro scene because every time i would look i would maniacally giggle. he's bias wrecking me SOOO bad i can't. (haha. get it? 'bad'?)

಄ hongjoong bouncy mention in 2026 also?? the big '26??? insane

಄ i would've LIKED to hear a little bit more of yeosang and jongho serenading me with their beautiful vocals in this track... but we ball i guess...

಄ you also fucking KNOW ateez is going to deliver an OUTRO

಄ chase infiniti oh my goodness can i join the fight. ateez move over asap GIVE ME A CHANCE 🙏

song mingi ⊹ ࣪ ˖ jung wooyoung ⊹ ࣪ ˖ choi san

MAMACITA 𓏲ּ𝄢

಄ right outta the gate im hearing trumpets and i am SAT.

಄ i seriously love the direction they're taking this comeback and that they're trying out new styles of music i will 100% support and listen to anything

಄ "HEY MAMACITAAAA-" YUPP THAT'S MEEE

಄ i don't think i can dance or bite my finger any more than i am while listening to this song fr

಄ oh i absolutely LOVE when the final chorus starts acapella and then the beat is brought in heavyyy halfway through like TAKE ME TO CHURCHH I EAT IT UP EVERY TIMEEE

TOXIN 𓏲ּ𝄢

಄ woosan first verse i am locked in.

಄ "oh i'm just tracing your body~" HELLO?? TAKE ME TO DINNER FIRST DAMN

಄ i am absolutely in love with how wooyoung's vocals are getting recognition in this album. oh my god. in the 2nd pre-chorus literally SING IT TO MEEE YES

಄ okay we're getting a little more sexy... like actually... the most i've seen/noticed so far...

಄ "the deeper the intensity, the steadier my fingertips become; euphoric, tonight, we're historic" ...like HELP? and i thought I was ovulating...

಄ the synth in the instrumental i am obsessed. especially in the 3rd verse w/ mingi and hongjoong like it's so light and fluttery i LOVE

FALLIN' 𓏲ּ𝄢

಄ YEOSANGGGG A WHOLE YEOSANG CHORUS OH MY GOD YES

಄ yeosang's vocals in this are literally insane like his voice is so deep it gives me goosebumps every time without fail - it reverberates in my ribcage

಄ lyrics are ALSO insane...

಄ build-up to the chorus is so good i have nothing else to describe it.

಄ lowkenuinely though jongho was gonna hit a high note on the last "yeah" of the bridge but we also ball his vocals are still out of this world and they fit the vibe of the song so well

಄ also like all of these songs are SONGS like bridges or outros, everything - even if the duration might be a little short on some of them...

BODY 𓏲ּ𝄢

಄ bro they're literally the ones ovulating. 😭😭

಄ why this song has the production of 'castle' matched with lyrics worse than 'in your fantasy' we'll never know. what the fuck kinda juxtaposition is this LMFAO

಄ "i'm fighting off bad thoughts and those lingering, sensual regrets" yeah hongjoong... i'm gonna hold your hand when i tell you i don't think you're fighting them off very well... HELP

಄ like it would be such a vibe (still is a vibe don't get me wrong) if i just didn't know the freaky ahh things they're singing about LOL i can still live laugh love it though

MY RANKING 𓏲ּ𝄢

okay so like hello can we talk about zb1's new album??

the way i kinda forgot they were releasing their first ot5 comeback so soon, got surprised when i saw it on my spotify, listened to it through my headphones, and then LITERALLY LEVITATED?!

the concept? eats down. the vocals? so crisp it's like they're eating CDs. the production? i can feel the instrumentals in my soul. there are no skips on this album.

'intro.' had me gagged, 'top 5' is so catchy, 'v for vision' and 'exotic' are the vibes i never knew i needed, 'customize' has been stuck in my head, 'changes' is so sweet and cute, and 'zero to hundred' is literally a fucking masterpiece of a song - no notes.

then i found out that gunwook helped compose and write customize?! that's my bias fr!! (ू˃̣̣̣̣̣̣︿˂̣̣̣̣̣̣ ू)

oh my god and i can't even finish this post without talking about hanbin and taerae's high notes. the vocals in this album are actually insane. the final chorus in 'zero to hundred' has me seeing the gates of heaven; i need to eat taerae's vocals.

overall, the 5 of them are shining so brightly, they're exactly who they think they are, this served exactly how they thought it would, and this album is pure bliss. i need the CD immediately.
