my ults have just been disappointing me in the later half of 2021 and 2022 :c

twice formula of love - i was sooo excited for this since the concept looked so good, esp with the suits in the lab teasers, but the title track was disappointing, and alcohol free is my fav twice title (i’m a rare breed lol, bossa nova is a fav genre of mine) so when they released scientist and formula of love it just felt like a step back for me. i wasn’t too fond of many of the bsides in this album and never reached for any of the tracks after like a few weeks of it released. album as a whole: 3/10.

taeyeon invu - i really liked weekend, and can’t control me was weird at first but then i got OBSESSED with it and played it on repeat. invu was pretty good at first and maybe a fav title track so far in 2022 but the rest of the entire album was super lackluster imo, the only bsides i kind of like is heart and timeless and even then i find them slightly unclimactic. songs like siren, set myself on fire, some nights are different from her usual like her songs in my voice or purpose so overall i never reach of this album besides her titles weekend, can’t control myself, invu :( album as a whole: 4/10.

apink horn - this is kind of the opposite of taeyeon’s invu where the title track was lackluster to me, but i enjoyed quite a few bsides for sure, my top ones were holy moly, my oh my, nothing, free&love, just like this. but overall as an entire album i did not enjoy it as much as look and their other older ones, as there were not any tracks i had on repeat or still reach for. album as a whole: 6/10.

red velvet feel my rhythm - i was super excited for this, but i believe this this is one of their weakest title tracks and i haven’t felt this way about a red velvet title since rookie. most red velvet titles, even zimzalabim, rbb, etc. i was able to eventually appreciate and enjoy after a while even if i did not vibe with them at first but i still never reach for this and it never grew on me like how their other tracks did eventually. for the bsides, it also was one of their weakest minis in a while i believe, the only two tracks i really enjoyed were good bad ugly, and in my dreams and i never reach for them anymore as well. album as a whole: 5/10.

itzy checkmate - it’s only been a day so this may not be a final opinion but i didn’t HATE the title track. the pre-chorus and vocal sections were pretty good actually and bridge, the chorus is just a distracting part. i listened to the rest of the album several times through by now and i think domino is the only good song on the album, but there were a few nice vocal sections in what i want, racer, free fall but it gets really drowned by the rap. we also don’t talk about 365. album as a whole: 2/10.

#no hate please i just wanted somewhere to vent a little lol ignore me #the albums i liked were nayeon's im nayeon and gidle i never die! #also hyo deep of course #chobom's copycat was nice too #personal #rants

it might be too sweet for you but have you listened to the apink subunit chobom's song copycat? the subunit doesn't have eunji, so it might not interest you much, but i really enjoyed the song

i did .....i liked the song i liked the concept and the mv was super nice so it was a win for them but not a banger enough of a song to totally redeem this summer. like the bad songs are awful are the good songs are just good nothing has me by the throat i need a song to do this to me

#literally only liked copy cat and celebrate this summer and neither are saved on spotify #it's bleak

Apink Chobom’s debut singles album is pretty good. It’s interesting, unique, fresh. I like Copycat’s concept - it’s weird in a good way, very cinematic - and the song is catchy, if a bit repetitive. Oscar was interesting too, a bit too dissonant at times, but cool - I didn’t like the first verse that much, but everything else was good, the prechorus and chorus in particular. Feel Something was more generic, and a ballad, but it was still nice. Imo:

Oscar > Copycat > Feel Something
