Yeah, somebody messed up. I've only heard Mr. Mr. so far, and I actually really like it even if it's less upbeat than expected.
Edit: this entire mini sounds really...chill, save for Soul. It's kind of strange o___o but I like the way they're trying to go with their sound, it's more mature. Also idk, I really liked Find Your Soul because it was stupidly catchy, and I think I really like Soul too (even with the awkward lyrics-fitting-into-the-tune bit).
My bets were on this being a sort of promotion stunt... but then again, SM has been very messy with this comeback up to this point so who knows?
It's not an outstanding mini album, but it does have the sleek and sophisticated sound/style they promised and it's the perfect thing for them to be doing ('Mr. Mr' has a really nice 80s inspired sound). Pretty typical SNSD, but everything sounds great and I approve it!
i think it was a mistake, they changed the date of the comeback but forgot to tell itunes lmao mess i'm still listening to the mini, but i already love mr mr, now i need the mv
everytime I dl their albums and everytime I regret it. the songs could have easily been filler on the album of some group that's just debuted (and that's unfair to those groups bc lots of them come out with actually good songs these days), so bad omg
I managed to get hold of it... I might be buying it physically later, it's a good mini and the girls sound good (Hyoyeon pulled a lower voice in... Goodbye? right? she should do more of this singing). Not mind-blowing, but it has a sophisticated sound and it's catchy. Mr.Mr. and Soul are growing on me, I'll dance to them for a long time, though I needed several listens to be completely hooked. Europa is a good and happy summer song, Back Hug a nice slower song, and I really like Goodbye and Wait A Minute. So far, it's good.
I don't even know what's happening anymore but I'm in love with Goodbye, Mr. Mr., Back Hug and Wait a Minute. Glad they chose Mr. Mr. for the title track, I'm looking forward to the choreo/performances. Solid but average album, I just wish there were really standout tracks cos overall the album is pretty bland.
I like Goodbye, Soul is such a mess, ugh, Europa is like the opening of a shoujo anime, Wait a minute sounds like a nugu group song and I fell asleep with Back Hug. Mr. Mr. was the best choice to promote, but it's pretty forgettable. Hopefully the MV will make up for it, with a break dance close to the end. It is a pretty meh mini :/ I was expecting much more. Here, patiently waiting for whatever the hell 2NE1 is bringing.
mr mr and soul are my faves, goodbye and wait a minute are also great. back hug is nice but nothing special and i didn't like europe that much. overall a good mini, i'm happy :)
Looked up Mr Mr and it's alright. Not spectacular but not a catastrophe either. I'm sure it'll all come together quite nicely with the lives, choreo and styling.
Not holding my breath for the MV, despite all the time, money and effort that's been put into the making of it. SM mv directors have sucked big time ever since 2010. I hope they prove me wrong, though.
I was wondering when this would be posted. I like the album, but I lost interest on SNSD since run devil run. I don't really like any of the members aside from maybe sunny and tiffany(because she looks like a Cheshire cat when she smiles). MR.MR. is really lackluster. They need a strong video, and a good concept to push the song further. I'll wait to see how they style and perform this on stage before I write the song off. I just think this group is coasting by on name recognition alone. I think if they're not careful, Apink, Sistar, or any of the second tier girl groups could easily pushed them down. Especially considering the talented nugu girl groups that have been debuting the past few years. If people paid attention, they'll see that these group are rapidly seeing results with popularity compared to other groups that debuted way back.
Yeah I feel like they peaked there and it's because RDR showed such a progression in style, sound and everything. They went from maturing back to these overly cutesy concepts. The reason I adore their first Japanese album was because it was so far from that, it had variation, gripping songs, cohesiveness and just an edge that k-SNSD songs always lack.
To this day I'm still rooting fro them to release Hikkup and promote it because that song is begging for them to take on a badass style.

MR MR seems like a 80's song. and has a sad (?) feel to it. its not cheerful and strong like IGAB and the boys.

From:SM is so messy...SNSD is the next SuJu for SM albums...
Date: 2014-02-23 05:39 pm (UTC)Not too worried for the girls since the fandom will still buy everything (just like with SuJu) but....
#savesica
#savesunny
Sorry to the rest but I have to prioritize...SM if you put Sunny and Sica in a subunit I WILL BUY 10 ALBUMS NO MATTER WHAT!!!!
Hope 2NE1 doesn't release a filler album too
