He dragged Danger and the Ace album for filth. Made them look like some predebut shit.

SNATCHED
EDGELESS

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

I totally agree. I've seen some people annoyed by other people saying that this >>>>> Ace/Danger but it's just true? I loved Ace/Danger but compared to this it just looks like some amateur-ish shit. The production of this album is over the damn roof.

[marizl.livejournal.com]

Can't wait for this! I liked Ace overall and from this I can tell I'm going to like most of these.

Sorry super long comment

Loving the sound of this album. Loving the visuals. That dancing in water scene at the end with Press it playing is everything.

Sexuality sounds like a bop you would here at a gay club to get everyone dancing after the drag show ended and I am loving it.

I am so curious about Solider because so far it sounds amazing. I want to know the lyrics, in his interview he said it was a typical love story but it is still interesting to see what goes on in his mind just like we have with Jjong and his music.
I wonder which one jjong wrote like in the video...which song is Already.

It seems like this time around we are getting a good variety on music with ballads, dance bops and interesting sounds that don't fit either or. It sounds experimental but not to daring to not get good public recognition which is exactly what he needs to get on the map more and solidify his solo recognition. It definitely has a Taemin color to it.

I really liked that this video wasn't just the usual play some of the song with a picture but actual mini performances. Very thrilling to see.

This album is going to slay. It is 100% my style and what I like in music and visuals so I am extremely excited. All of the songs sound promising including Press It which I was worried wouldn't come to up par with Drip Drop since SM likes to fuck up their choice of title song often.


Can't wait!

Re: Sorry super long comment

Judging from the Korean title 벌써 (beolsseo), I think Already should be the one around 01:20, that one with the body rolls and the dancing on top of the piano.

[adlyeith.livejournal.com]

Slayed. Done. I cannot wait to hear this entire album, Drip Drop is actually really amazing. It doesn't hurt that I really enjoy watching Taemin dance, whether solo or with SHINee my eye is always drawn to him.

Soldier hit me right in the feels, I got chills when he started belting it out; of course, Taemin playing the piano is something I will never get tired of.

[burnbook31.livejournal.com]

he has a song titled
sexuality

SEXUALITY

[burnbook31.livejournal.com]

WTF WAS THAT GUITAR SEX SOUNDS !!!!!

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

this was a really cool way to display the highlight melody. i wanna hear the full song of minute 2:20? can anyone tell me what song that is?

[slaynee.livejournal.com]

Drip Drop. He released the perfornance video already. Theres a post on omona about it

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

i watched the video already once and clearly i did not pay attention enough smh
embarrassing myself

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

Sexuali-qué? Well then.

[lycorisc.livejournal.com]

i love the song after drip drop. and man this teaser is another thing. can't wait!!!

[classicfire.livejournal.com]

Press your number sounds good!

[hyungmoney.livejournal.com]

i love the way the previewed the songs wow. everything about this comeback is so beautiful. i think i'll like all the songs (except drip drop & maybe that song after it, idk) but definitely know i'll love the last song. is it that the title track?

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the last one is the title track.

[achan123.livejournal.com]

ARE U FAKING KIDDING ME?!??!?!?

PRESS IT SOUNDS AMAZING!!!!! :O

holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit


and that video form of an album medley!
genius!

similar to when vevo started to add video in their lyrics MVs


cant believe im so excited for a taemin solo. hes not even my top bias. but if anyone in SHINee can pull of this sound, its most certainly him

[princesalunar.livejournal.com]

Taemin thanks for killing me, how I am going to handle this masterpiece? soldier sounds so good!! I can't wait for the showcase seems like he is going to play piano ♥

[carmine-pink.livejournal.com]

Expectation: video montage of teaser pics with highlight medley, probably some lyrics
Reality: dance video with piano, dancing on top of the piano, dancing in the rain

So many interesting, jammable snippets, I hope the full songs don't disappoint. When I saw the Drip Drop video I didn't notice any female voices (too focused on the Taem) but here it sounds like maybe Luna?

With all this going on how am I supposed to work today (and tomorrow) Taemin???

Thanks for the continuous quick updates OP, you rock!

[psharp10.livejournal.com]

I'M STILL NOT OVER THIS IT'S JUST SO MUCH TO TAKE IN

soldier!!!! sexuality!!!!! ALREADY!!!!!!! all the songs honestly sound amazing and i'll probably love this whole album too --- i'm so glad sm's going all out of taem's cb :')

[modernelegance.livejournal.com]

Everything. I am so excited about everything.

At first I thought Jonghyun's song was the second one...because it sounded SO MUCH like him...but then when I heard the lyrics for the third song it confirmed that was the song he wrote. Still tho...Taemin's coming to snatch lots of things...like wigs, fangirls, dancing awards, etc. He's on Jonghyun's show tonight, right?

[pinklunacy.livejournal.com]

Welp I read the comments first and I thought maybe people were super biased or over reacting but daaaaaaaaamn.

It sounds amazing. Everything sounds amazing tbh. Hard to pick a fav here (tho I see lots of potential in soldier!).

And this is by far the best highlight medley ever. all that dancing and that visual Slayage. SM sure loves his Taemin and I'm so glad!!

[velveteenkitten.livejournal.com]

O M F G
I wasn't ready for this.

God damn it. I don't know what to do with myself.

This album will slay my life. I've been scalped.
This is going to be so superior to ACE.

I feel like I'm in constant obnoxious stan mode but honestly I wasn't expecting this slayage. I wasn't expecting SM to put so much money and just effort into this.
This medley video is like a freaking performance MV itself. I'm so impressed constantly. Damn.

I'm getting slightly incoherent now.

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

Not Taemin displaying dancing, vocals, and musicality!!!! YOU GO TAEM!!!

[aleksu7.livejournal.com]

I like drip drop already and the one after. The one in the rain sounds good too. Overall it all sound really great tbh, some are not my type but it doesn't sounds bad at all.
I'm not very into boy groups tbh but I always listen everything Shinee releases because generally it's always so good.

[jrt131n.livejournal.com]

this was a lovely thing to wake up too.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

OMG this is such a beautiful way of presenting a highlight medley O__O. I've never seen SM doing this for any other artist. If he doesn't slay after all of this...But I'm sure SM wouldn't spend so much $$$ if they weren't sure that it's gonna be a huge success.
Everything sounds SOOOO GOOD. The production of this album is simply brilliant, and I'm so glad that PYN really sounds like that Bruno Mars demo because I absolutely loved it since the first listening. He's totally surpassed himself with this.

[ohlookshiny.livejournal.com]

wow. i'm speechless

[dryadinthegrove]

Dead. So dead.

SM is spending the moneh!

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

Press Your Number is so good.

[dirrtypony.livejournal.com]

Kpop is straight up killing me rn. Between this and ladies code. I am fucking dyiiiiiiing.

[sodapab.livejournal.com]

The medley video is so cool and some of the songs sound like jams, I need to hear them asap.

[smilla-sini.livejournal.com]

Omg, the QUALITY!!!
