THE ALBUM IS SO FLAWLESS

[fantaesticbaby.livejournal.com]

I'm so happy tbh.
Like, it's everything I wanted. Crush is fucking slaying me rn. Too happy for words.

OMG I'm not the only one loving Crush. It's like a club banging, people crushing track ... after the 3rd listen. LOL.

[lilmissniza.livejournal.com]

yay spazzing post!!! now lemme copy+paste what I wrote on the other post...

I really love this album. It's probably just me but Crush & Come Back Home - sure they sound weird at first listen but it grows on you (like any other YG song these days). The slower tracks are what I miss about their first album. Loving If I Were You!! CL should totally be more hands on with composing 'cos girl's doing a great job so far. Bom sounds amazing. So does Dara. Minzy slays.

CRUSH IS GIVING ME SO MUCH LIFE RN!!!!

[150daysoffall.livejournal.com]

GOTTA BE YOU >>>>>>>>>>

But the slower songs are so good. Bom's voice... omg RIP You & I and Don't Cry & etc. ;—;

I enjoyed most of the songs, except for Baby I Miss You. It's just... odd lol

WAHTA ?! That's my favorite song! It reminds me of the 90s.

i was so ready to hate on come back home but then the trap beat kicked in and i was so pleased and cls solo is so fucking good im gonna hype these so much its a solid mini tbh

[aridnili.livejournal.com]

The title tracks gave me a headache. It's a clusterfuck. The slower ones are waaaay better. I love Happy and If I Were You. Minzy sounds awesome, Bom sounds like uhnnn Bom, CL's rap improved a lot, no screams detected and Dara sounds way better.

[aridnili.livejournal.com]

Ok, on a second listen, Crush sounds way better, but I could easily take off those random shouts and the chorus is still lacking. Come Back Home is insufferable. It starts nice and then it turns into !@&%#$

[unnie.livejournal.com]

YAAAAYYYy!!!

(I was about to post this haha. If you need a soundcloud embed [because I feel like YGE is really adamant about getting youtube videos taken down], the album can also be found here (https://soundcloud.com/wxygshowxyz). ^_^)

[tees2mai.livejournal.com]

thank you! i'll edit it in.

[turdferguson.livejournal.com]

still listening to it, i like if i were you a lot. they sound good

[freezing-flames.livejournal.com]

OMG YEEEEEES
crush and come back home are perfect!!!
I really like cl's solo too

[xredada.livejournal.com]

Come Back Home is a tune, starts soo beautifully and when the beat drops....i'm jamming. Korean charts seem to love mellow songs so i'm hoping it will do well.

CRUSH is a TUNE. Classic 2ne1 anthem! will amazing to hear this song live at a concert.

i've only had these 2 songs on repeat for the past 20 minutes so can't comment on the rest. Most exciting release from them in a long time.

[fallingstarryuu.livejournal.com]

like maybe if bom's voice wasn't so unpleasant this would be enjoyable.

[djlancerock.livejournal.com]

i feel this comment

[dirrtypony.livejournal.com]

I know scream is old but that is the 2ne1 i fucking love. so happy they added it to the cd.

DO NOT like Happy

I really like come back home just not the beat drop after the chorus.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

OT but Dark Stiles is doing things to me

[tlict.livejournal.com]

THIS ALBUM IS SO POWERFUL I FEEL SO EMPOWERED EVERYTHING IS JUST SO PERFECT AND IT FEELS SO MUCH LIKE A HOMECOMING BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.

all of them sounds soooooooooo much better i'd talk about each song but i'm too overwhelmed right now I LOVE EVERYTHING. THANK YOU 2NE1

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

Come Back Home unplugged > the actual version. I also really like Happy! Minzy sounds so good throughout the album.

[aridnili.livejournal.com]

OMG, that's one hell of a difference! MUCH, MUCH, MUCH BETTER!!! I can actually listen to it now! Minzy is giving me all the feels in this.

[dirrtypony.livejournal.com]

they need to use bom less imho. her voice just doesnt cut it anymore specially not when they have minzys greatness in the group.

[sub-divided.livejournal.com]

Bom is so great on Crush though... Minzy's better on the slower tracks where her more languid delivery can shine, but for the big anthemic choruses I think Bom's still got it.

[walkingparadoxx.livejournal.com]

GODDESS CL'S SOLO IS SLAYING ME
after the disappointment that was Mr Mr THIS IS EVERYTHING I NEEDED

[es2pido.livejournal.com]

I can't believe they didn't release this as her solo. It's the best track of the CD for me.

[merylsteep.livejournal.com]

First-listen faves:

COME BACK HOME
IF I WERE YOU
HAPPY

I will listen to the entire album again after I catch my breath from Nell's MV but so far am happy and satisfied!!! The album is solid and thoughtfully madef. The MVs will only make the experience a whole lot better!

[dirrtypony.livejournal.com]

really love good to you

ic

[merylsteep.livejournal.com]

Yes! First thing I noticed in Scream.

[fantaesticbaby.livejournal.com]

also OP YG Ladies said the MV will come out tomorrow... idk i thought it was coming out tonight but apparently not?

[tees2mai.livejournal.com]

ty!

[unnie.livejournal.com]

oh my god. CL's solo is everything!!

KARMA KARMA KARMA IS GONNA FIND U

[jeugd1.livejournal.com]

Dara really sounds amazing

[moozles.livejournal.com]

I loovvve Gotta Be You its my fave track on the album and should have been the title track imo. I love CL's solo too.

Crush and Come Back Home are..okay? Like I was hyped up for them and they weren't what I expected.

I like the album in it's entirety a lot, I am hf the acoustic version of Come Back Home.

Edit: HAPPY'S PLACE ON THE ALBUM IS SUCH AN ABRUPT AND RUDE SWITCH UP. It legit takes me a second to adjust from MTBD to Happy it fucks me up so bad.

[post-dada.livejournal.com]

Crush - I LOVE Crush. I kinda wish it was a title track but I also really like both of their title tracks.

Come Back Home - The unplugged version of this actually makes sense because of the production on the one being promoted as a title song. I like both versions but they are for different occasions

Happy - I think this the only one that I didn't really super enjoy right away and even this I still liked.

MTBD - I love Cl's solo but I just think that she's gonna have a hard time with these kind of singles in Korea.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

I'm pleased but not super duper excited
It's good but something's missing
I'm still happy they're back :3

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

SAME. the best songs are the slower songs mostly because the fast songs r tired call backs to previous releases.

there r not enough HOOKS...i dunno. no one song defines the album so things start to mesh together after a while...

i am VERY pleased with this album but it still feels inbetween. if YG would stop being a dick and let them release regularly i would consider this album a stepping stone to something BETTER.
