I'm pretty convinced collapsedone can do no wrong. Like Oh was my favorite on the last mini, Good Tonight's my favorite on this one, and his remix is probably the only one I'll listen to again.
All of the songs on this mini are so solid though. I wasn't expecting to like U Got Me and Bad Behavior so much based on the spoiler. I really hope this mini sells well and their fanbase explodes (in number, not a physical combustion from awesomeness), especially with Winner on the way.
Serious question though. Do people still use "frontin'" and/or "shorty" (which is repeated 12 times in Forever Young, btw - I know, I thought it was more too)? I feel like I haven't heard either of those words since the early 2000's.
YAS! Good tonight is so good. almost wish it had been the title - praying they do a dance version practice video for it. bad behavior slays me - i love it forever young is above playground for fav ballad
but i hate the u got me as much as i hated hello - there i said it
I feel the same way about this mini as I did for their last mini. Aside from 2/3 songs that I really like, the rest are just okay or terrible (U Got Me... I absolutely hate it).
after hearing good tonight, without the very attractive performance, i like it but it's not as good as i thought before. maybe it'll grow on me
i like the beginning of u got me but it starts to drag on towards the end. mark and jackson's voices sound sooooooo goooood omg
a is cute but weaker than ggg by far. i like it because youngjae plays a big part in it. i hate myself for this but i throw up the finger heart whenever i hear "so cute" like they do in performances >.< (shame bout foreigner line's lack of lines tho)
i really like 나쁜 짓(i'm assuming the eng name is 'bad behavior' but i know thats not the exact translation). i cant get "that bad behavior, just go, that bad behavior, just go" out of my head^^
i couldn't sit through forever young. it gave me playground vibes and i really dont like that song :(
collapsedone remix is much better than the original. it's light and cute. i could listen to it non stop
toyo remix sounded like any 'whatever' remix you would find on youtube. it's alright but nothing special.
FRANTS remix kinda has that same 'whatever' feel to me. ----
tl;dr: not as impressed with this mini as i was with their debut. it has one or two songs i really like and then the rest of them don't have anything special about them.
i was feeling eh about this whole album until TOYO REMIX!!!! holy shit that instrumental deserves its own song, now i'm mad it's just a remix and won't get as much attention
So nice to see that they continue to release solid music. I can't say that it's such a great mini but it's very enjoyable to listen. "Good Tonight" is "Like Oh" of this album. Love love love it. I really wish it was title track because I was amazed by whole concept they had for GT performances (styling, choreo &etc were so damn good). But I can understand why A was picked. It's great for summer and is quite catchy.
i really like the full version of 'good tonight'! what a jam. i love the collapsedone remix -- very chill. bad behavior also isn't bad! forever young is ok. the rest might need to grow on me a bit
Searching for "hiphop" (in any form) Error 404: not found.
Bad behaviour begins very nicely, but then it becomes too poppy. A's line distribution is still terrible. Good tonight is my favourite. Forever Young lacks vocal power, which is strange because this is a studio version and I was expecting something powerhouse-ish but it just fell flat. That said, the whole ep is just very... mellow. Not in a bad way but not in a good way either.
Mark and Jackson have really nice voices, but good lord the cliche English lines they (especially Mark) are given in these songs. Confusing how Mark had very distinct rap parts in all their 1st ep's songs, but in this..
no he doesn't? he hasn't written anything that's been released until this album and it seems he only wrote his rap for one song here too, according to credits. I only looked through the credits on my phone though so do correct me if I'm wrong about this album, but prior to this he hasn't written anything for their songs.
Still angry that Mark didn't have basically any lines in A. The AAAAAAAAY screeching is really annoying, other than that I love the song.
I'm not feeling Good Tonight, it feels out of range for everyone except Youngjae. It feels like it needed to be at least a key lower. Not a bad song, but the singing is...kinda painful to listen to.
its an okay mini. imo not as good as the first. i only love Good Tonight and Forever Young. I didn't like A till I heard the collapsedone remix and i still think it's basically GirlsGirlsGirls version 2.0.
still one of the better minis of the year tho cuz the majority of minis i've heard so far have been underwhelming. but that might be because i'm using sunmi's flawless mini as a benchmark.
U Got Me really reminds me of that Pharrell song, y'know, the one in Parris Goebel's dance video? The one Taeyang saw when he was looking for the choreo for Ringa Linga?
Eh...it's nice I guess. Kind of a basic album, for a lack of a better word. I got opinions on this mini that leaks into my opinions about this group, but they sound harsh so I am going to keep them to myself. Mariah Carey is my benchmark for remixes. She took the time to go back into the studio, on a new beat and lay down a fresh version of the song. Like she got an album dedicated to her remixes and I live for it. So I have high standards for remixes. I only liked the first one because it could have easily replaced A and been okay. TOYO remix was a nice beat, but you could easily tell they just laid the vocals ontop of the beat and called it a day. That third one is a mess and I don't want to be a part of that.
I wish I liked this mini more than I do (at least at first listen,) because I find GOT7 really entertaining as a group but they're just sort of underwhelming to me musically. I really only liked half of their first album and this time around "A" and "Good Tonight" are the only ones that really stand out to me in any way, and we already saw those in live stages. And as much as I like the collapsedone remix of "A," I feel like 3 remixes of the same song is a little unnecessary.
Their vocals also seemed a little weak in the live stages, which is a shame. I think they've got a lot of potential but they just need more confidence in their singing and better songwriters/producers.
Exactly my sentiment. I feel like the songs in this mini have potential but they didn't go for it which is too bad because I really think they can go far.
There are way too many versions of A here and they all sound sound bland in comparison to the original.U Got Me sounds like the remix of Hello from Got It?
Aside from that it's a solid album that I will have on repeat for awhile.
i could do w/o the remixes minus the toyo one but i really like this mini a lot. even forever young which i thought i'd find boring as hell is so nice.
I've stalking itunes for this album, this would be the first album I bought all the way instead of purchasing individual songs so sep~ im going to take a listen
A is ok, and the first two remixes of it are nice too.
I think they needed some stronger instrumentals. Like most of the songs had kind of an empty sound, and it felt a little boring after a while. I wish they had some songs with a louder, stronger base. Or with more of a thick, atmospheric sound. It just felt lacking in some spots.
