I mean Crush is a certifiable jam. The rest of the album is very much a 2NE1 album though. So I mean I guess that'll be a good thing to fans and a bad thing to everyone else lol.

im still not over CLs solo like its a smash bop

[megasourwarhead.livejournal.com]

CLord's reign just wont let up!

Great marketing tbh.

The first 6 tracks were giving me so much life then Happy... Get that Busker Busker smash I guess... It's cute.
I'm currently obsessed with Crush and Gotta Be You; it changes time to time but right now those made the biggest impact to me.
CL solo gave me Diplo earthquake and I love it! I love all the little background details and sounds in the slow songs; I live for those little things.
I don't understand the people who call it "dated"... Like this is kpop??
Coup d'etat, Pink Tape and now Crush are the few kpop releases that come close to what's fresh and new in music production atm tbh.
Anyway, those three years of delays were so worth it. :')

Never fulling listened to Coup d'etat, if it was like OOAK then YES, if not please don't put PT together with these lessers.

this album grew on me a lot in the last 5 hours. I went from liking 2 songs, to 3, to 5, to pretty much everything.

[ah-mui.livejournal.com]

IKR, what a difference a few hours can make. I listened to the whole thing once in the morning, and again almost 8 hours later and I went from liking a few songs to being deliriously happy with the whole thing.

The only thing that jumped out at me on first listen was "Gotta Be You".

Oh I didn't think this was going to get posted

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

OP...who is going to post negative opinions aside from Gain? That's not smart marketing LOL

[merylsteep.livejournal.com]

Well ofc they won't include the negative responses as that will totally be defeating the purpose of the listening event. :)

The album just gets better with every listen! I still don't have a super fave like with IDC, Go Away and IATB but I like that the songs are rich and thoughtfully made. How each of their voices stood out with their individual charms.
I appreciate the risk they took from deviating from the usual 2NE1 jams. This is definite growth and maturity.

I really think that they'll release a Special Edition version like BB's Tonight and Alive with new songs and corresponding MVs. It just can't be 10 songs, one of which is a solo and then a remake and an unplugged version. Crossing my fingers.

There better be a Special Edition, I still want Falling In Love on disc form

[ah-mui.livejournal.com]

I ended up being really happy about this album, and you're right about the album's replayability. I basically love all the songs now, even though in the morning I didn't like Crush and Come Back Home. I like that their singing got better, esp Dara, so much so that I actually wanted her to have a few more lines.

I just saw some recent pix of bom OMG i think she used some leftover cartilage from minzys nosejob to fix her jawline cos it looks normal now!!! She's not even covering it up with her hair!!!

[zuluuluz.livejournal.com]

" i think she used some leftover cartilage from minzys nosejob"
holy SHIT LMFAO

[confuqued.livejournal.com]

I'm glad the album is a success, because lbr it needed to be.

[aridnili.livejournal.com]

meh, meh, meeh. When the hell is the MV going to be released?Even I who is not a big fan, and hated the title tracks, is getting pissed right now. Need more Minzy in my life.

[nashaa.livejournal.com]

I fail to see what's hilarious about them only includes positive reviews though. That's marketing 101. Not only exclusive to YGE only.

That being said, I still haven't got the chance to fully listen to the album yet. Need to get on that.
