Iâm only here so I donât clog up tw*tter but I need to get out all my conflicting vixx album thoughts and bounce so I can concentrate on studying
I hate.... that I do so much critical analysis in my day to day b/c it transfers to the nerdy things I enjoy (music, cartoons, etc) so I end up reading too much into things that are not serious at all.... I know itâs not serious, itâs just how I am; I like analysis and understanding why I like/ donât like certain things.
- Iâve listened all the way thru maybe.... 4 times? and like 7 other times with the 1min preview version
- each time I listen, I donât really enjoy itt but then while Iâm not listening I keep thinking the album is growing on me and that the songs are dope????
The good:
- the album overall isnât bad. Itâs more cohesive than voodoo by FAR. No one song outshines (jk Mistress does, but how sad if your intro track is the best on the album)
- more harmonies!!!
- I actually like the ballads on this album (I hate all their other ones that are done by Melodesign b/c they sound like OSTs and vixxâs voices werenât good enough to balance that out)
- you can really hear the membersâ growth and they sound more like a unit.
- line distribution
- hongbin and hyuk FINALLY sound confident singing, now if hak can get there weâll be golden
- they clearly worked hard on the album and sound like they had fun recording the songs
The bad:
- I think the production is noisy, corny, dated, and doesnât match the amount vixx has grown
- I was honestly expecting a more... musical album? Like we know that theyâre a performance group and their strength is concerts but like... did this one really have to be just concert songs..... thatâs a matter of personal preference tho. I listen to a lot of trip hop, trance music, jazz-infused hip hop, pbr&b which tend to be really careful about instrumentals so when I wanna hear music, I like instrumentals to be well-layered and grounded in some âorganicâ sound (piano, violin, bass, etc). Ofc I listen to a lotta songs to jam to (usually with heavy bass and/or a real heavy, repetitive beat), BUT when I see jelpi trying to set vixx up as ~artists~ by giving them a lot of independence and creative input, I wouldâve expected the album to be more... gentle? have more musicality in the instrumentation? Their voices sound so GOOD but the bg music ruins it for me
- none of the songs stand out at all. On one hand thatâs good b/c of cohesiveness but that also means there are no peaks in the album... itâs just... flat, idk. At least in voodoo, messy as it was, I could pinpoint âoh this is good for this reason, and this other song is good for this reasonâ but for chaind up every single song is like âoh this is fun.â âah this isnât badâ âhmmm not bad!â Like I have no excitement for whole songs. The title song for ex: I LOVE the first 40 seconds, but then it changes tone from an EXO bop to a SHINee reject
- basically I wish Brand New Musicâs producers worked with them again b/c it couldâve been a cleaner, more mature version of the LR album (which I loved musically)
I think thatâs it... verbalized everything...
Itâs a perfectly FINE album but if it wasnât vixx I wouldnât give it more than 2 listens. I donât think Iâm gonna buy it, thereâs too much stuff in the album & I donât like the music enough. Honestly I wouldâve been in love if they used different producers... they sound SO good vocally but I really hate this wannabe-SM vibe Iâm getting (since the producers and some writers work primarily in SM anyway).
PHEW okay hopefully now I wonât have to say anything more on twitter
no one commented on this so iâll put it out here:
basickâs wife ran out of baby formula during the 1st live performances and so basick spent the whole time before his performance calling up his friends to go buy some baby formula for him pls because they were out of baby formula in their local martsÂ
Lol.... according to rumors in Korea his family is well off and the baby formula he was looking for was one of the most expensive, high-end formulas that had run out in stores
(not that it changes whether or not he should've won but honestly they coulda gotten any other formula...)
Idk if it's confirmed though, that's what my friend's mom heard thru the grapevine :0
@daddydemonsoo TT is performing in NY for free this weekend?? http://seoulwave.com/teen-top-to-perform-for-the-korean-culture-and-tourism-festival-in-new-york-this-weekend/
For all y'all who have me on kkt or Facebook, I turned off all notifications so I can focus on schoolwork bc Iâm really really behind and starting to get stressed. So if Iâm not responsive, thatâs why
