i'm really proud of lay and happy that he's finally able to show everyone what he's been working on for all these years.

this is a pretty good first album. i'll never get tired of what u need i think. i'm also really liking relax, he should sing more of his songs in a lower tone.

I thought y'all were exaggerating about that intro omg

tonight is bad i'm sorry yixingsus

MYM YES YES THANK YOU god everything else is so goooood rise rnb god zhang yixing. i hope he adds the acoustic version next to monodrama in their concerts too. i wonder if they'll change the setlists to add him and cbx. what u need is probably still my fave bc i've had it on repeat since it came out, but i love lose control too. relax is a v relaxing track so job well done lol it could do without the autotune

I love MYM acoustic and Relax. Stil embarrased by the intro in Tonight lmao but I like the rest of the song.
I'm really proud of him, imo this is a really good first album, he's finding his sound with this, and it makes me excited for his future compositions, I feel this is marked with his desire to put his music out there, That anxiety won't be in his next work

[liederkreis.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's put a lot of pressure on himself for this first album and the fact that he's felt like he needs to prove himself since day one. Now he has a solid starting point, I think he'll be able to give himself a little bit of room to breathe in the future. Between that and what he said about learning from his mistakes and accepting help from others at the press conference, I can only be excited about what he'll give us next!

[soyunatetera.livejournal.com]

His words at the press conference really show how much he grew with this album, we know he was desperate to release one for a very long time and he was feeling really anxious (probably one of the reasons he has trouble sleeping), and he worked so hard for it, but now that he has it apart for feeling proud, I'm sure he's reflecting about the whole process and realizing his mistakes, he knows he's stubborn but that shouldn't be a barrier for him to produce better music, he realizes that now I think

Tonight intro...
You really cannot say Yixing has forgotten his roots - humble idol indeed

[jaerotic.livejournal.com]

lmao i wish more ppl wld know this and get why that intro is so funny to us cksjjajxnskxkd tbh i prefer to think he put it there as an inside joke for xingmis bc i rly cant take tonight srsly bc of it

[momomoing.livejournal.com]

Oh god i erased this from my memory.....

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

how dare you LOL

[cuizy.livejournal.com]

omg! I didn't know this existed!! HAHA thanks!

I'm not going to lie - Tonight is not at all my kind of music. It's not entirely irredeemable, and it's far from the most embarrassing thing he's put out there (Y.I.X.I.N.G., anyone?) but it's by far my least favorite song on this mini. Other than that, though, I'm really pleased with both the mini itself and the direction he seems to be taking with his music. I can see myself playing all of these (minus Tonight) pretty regularly, and I absolutely love the acoustic version of MYM.

I think a lot of fans feel disappointed if every song or every album isn't a whole new level of mind-blowing and groundbreaking, and from things he's said, Yixing himself wants his music to have that kind of singular merit. I'm not going to say he's there just yet, but this is a good mini, and I think he has a lot to be proud of. He's improved so much since his Tears Airport days ToT At his press conference, he said he really loves this mini a lot, and that just makes me so happy.

omg dont remind me of Y.I.X.I.N.G., i randomly stumbled across it again on yt a few days ago and couldnt get the hook outta my head.

[mamchan.livejournal.com]

Except for Tonight (is the boy rapping?!?) this is a solid album. What u need is on repeat since it went out

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

Admittedly i havent listen the songs seriously. But i think i like everything. Lol. We'll see after i focus listening to tonight


Edit: ok. Tonight could be better. But i still dont hate it xD

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

the king of pop delivered again

[showminomoney.livejournal.com]

I think we just use the 'music' tag for audio and listening posts. I just added it to your post now. :)

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

okay, thanks! <3

[1of1girl.livejournal.com]

It's a solid mini - I like everything except Tonight. My favourites are what U need?, MYM and Relax.
I'm happy that he had a chance to make his own music and I like the direction where he is going with this mini, he definitely has a lot to be proud of.

[psharp10.livejournal.com]

i love the mini and i even like tonight lmao
i loved tonight even more after realizing that he's poking fun at his old songs, bless him
