Drive is the best song on the mini, I love it! I also like A Glass Of Water and You. this doesn't top their previous album but it's a good mini.

also does Sunmi plan to breathe-sing for the entirety of her career?

i like B1A4's dedication to not put out generic dance tracks ❤ i like WHO AM I better though. some of these tracks are pretty good, like solo day, it's going well, and drive.

i'm very proud of them as a group, it seems like they're trying to make a conscious effort to reach a wider audience and not just their fans.

I love how these boys always know how to get every single one of the songs in the album to match the concept and season lol
You is such a nice track omg

Stars in my eyes whenever I can pick out Gongchan's voice! I could only go by process of elimination before Who Am I.

Are You Happy With Him? and Drive are the best.

havent listened to all of it but THAT TRACK WITH SUNMI IS SO GOOD

[hitsujiga.livejournal.com]

cute mini :3 i only rly love drive tho.

[cedric-mcfly.livejournal.com]

I love this mini, summer releases have been good to me so far tbh! (keeping my fingers crossed for Winner!)

Solo Day and A Glass of Water are my jams.

[insanemindset.livejournal.com]

Everything is perfect but my fav has to be You Make Me a Fool and Are You Happy with Him. I did right in choosing to stan them.

[mya13.livejournal.com]

im gonna be the only one but i like this mini more than the who am i album. these songs are so good and they're songs i can only hear B1A4 singing. i love every single track on it. they are put on my ipod worthy. ty b1SLAY4. and ofc my faves are the slower tracks (2 and 3). what are your fave tracks OP?

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

I love #2 too!! ◕‿◕ it was an instant fave

[hyemint.livejournal.com]

same here. i think there were some hits and misses on the who am i album, but everything's a hit here for me.

they're songs i can only hear B1A4 singing.

yes! having the band themselves compose the entire thing was such a good move imo because every song is just so them.

yaaaay!
i like Glass of water and you
but You make a fool of me is my favorite
everything sounds cool tho, they will grow on me
aviateb1a4 translated all those lyrics HERE (http://aviateb1a4.tumblr.com/post/91662490842/trans-lyrics-b1a4s-5th-mini-album-solo-day)
if OP or anyone's interested

[weerainbow.livejournal.com]

So many lovely songs! I like them all, and I love how they have that very B1A4 colour ^__^

I went crazy over Drive upon the first listen~! This mini is pretty good! It differ's a bit from their last mini (not a bad thing though) but I really like the sound here. And I like "You Make Me A Fool". It reminds me of the acoustic version of "Wonderful Tonight". (I like it.) I also like "You" too!

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

mte
wonderful tonight came to my head too!
unplugged version is amazing

[jjang-intae.livejournal.com]

I'm in love with Glass Of Water and Are You Happy With Him? Flawless album as per usual

[fabledlamb.livejournal.com]

Love it! I've been listening to it all day (when I haven't been glued to the TV because WORLD CUP GLORY fyes!). I can't even name favorites atm because I'm still in the process of digesting this oh so perfect summer album. The title track is such a grower, I liked it first but now I'm completely converted! And Glass of Water has the potential to be even higher on my playlist in the long run.

All of these songs could have easily been on Who Am I but that just goes to prove they have found their own identity mainly thanks to Jinyoung (and more recently, CNU) writing most of their stuff. When you turn that around and see this in a more negative light, then you could say that none of the songs on this mini take any risks. There's nothing on here they haven't done in a similar way before. And it might not even be Jinyoung's or CNU's fault. Jinyoung said on at least one occasion he's very much aware of the fact he has to write songs for the broader public and can't release what only he himself likes so I'll be waiting patiently for the day they're big enough to dare go into less mainstream-approved territory. (But hell, not even someone from a super established group like Taeyang was able to release the album he wanted, so...) But for the moment I'll just settle for this perfectly enjoyable mini album that is Solo Day.

such a fucking solid album.

i may not stan them, but damn they put out good and quality music.

[hippodameia.livejournal.com]

I love the whole album, but A Glass of Water really stands out to me. I like the reggaeton vibe in the first pre-chorus.

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

Track #3 is everything i've ever wanted.
omg Drive is also perfection. why do i ever doubted you b1a4

[rawbabyoctopus.livejournal.com]

I really like "You make me a fool". "Are You Happy With Him?"'s intro has that sound that was used in one of the songs in WAI that I can't remember right now.

I thought "A Glass of Water" was a jam! "Drive" is a nice song. Sounds like a song CNU would make. I love all the english in it too.

"You" has a nice feel to it. Sunmi's voice works so well with Gongchan's sweet voice that comes after her part.

Another solid music release from B1A4. Good job boys T_T

[lycorisc.livejournal.com]

love #3 so much, but everything else sounds too good. even as a casual fan, i'm really pleased and proud that they keep developing for the better

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

The 2nd song and I'm high off their vocals. I love those smooth high notes. This sounds so good, they have the best team working with them for their songs picks and or writers.
I don't want to yak on them too much because shit can go wrong fast.
crazy ear luv I have for them!
