didnt even crack the melon top 100

[showminomoney.livejournal.com]

why are you still here?

[starsofmorning.livejournal.com]

justice for liar. the true title track.

[suggestivepeach.livejournal.com]

At a loss as to why Liar wasn't the title track bc it's so good and left a much better impression. All in all, it's a v. solid mini album. I was going to keep the 4minute comparisons to a minimum but Tears Bottle really reminds me of Cold Rain.

Liar is SO good like????

...and so is MeowMeow :O

I hope they promote either along with the goblin track

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

I really hope the promote liar at least for one week (or on radio)

[thranduiles.livejournal.com]

i'm glad liar and meow meow came through as well!! my only complaint is that i hate those sock-shoes whatever they are on the cover, that should never have left instagram

[showminomoney.livejournal.com]

It's socks over heels.. like with a hole poked into them to let the heel through.. Seungyeon was wearing them during their vlive and the MV, I'm so worried she'll slip or something. :\

the chorus of liar is SO GOOD. i'll be listening to this nonstop for a month. i hope they promote this on their debut stages/as a follow up single
hobgoblin is the kind of song i wish my nugu faves girlsgirls would release haha. my favourite bits are the prechorus (seunghee/sorn) and chorus when eunbin's on it - i've wanted her on rap line since produce 101 - but since seungyeon is on the verses i know I'm going to love them live too
mistake is a jam! again with a really good chorus
meow meow again with the solid chorus/breakdown, like it less than the others but will still listen on repeat!
i mean is nice and chill but also doesn't sound out of place which is good, sounds more in line with their older sound
tears bottle is your standard ballad that even 4minute got landed with so, eh. this at least has some interesting harmonies

they might be 4minute 2.0 but I like this better than I've liked any of 4minute's recent releases (which i've generally only liked one or two tracks from), so
i doubt this will propel them to stardom but I hope it nets them more fans than their last comebacks have and puts them back on the right path

I liked 4Minute fairly well, but ngl, none of their songs are super memorable to me except Crazy.

[gingerblue24.livejournal.com]

definitely will buy this.

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

YES to Meow meow!!

[demeulemeester.livejournal.com]

fuK this mini is so good so far (im up to mistake rn). hobgoblin is definitely a kind of typical choice for title track vs liar. i do wonder how they would've gone with that is their title

[demeulemeester.livejournal.com]

in case anyone wanted to know the official english titles, apple music lists the last two tracks as "i mean that" and "depression".

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

Pretty damn solid! And the HyunA sound is much less glaring on other tracks. My favorite is track 5 - has been since the previews - whole the rest is really nice too.

[bloodtaki2.livejournal.com]

I quite like it! And the title track grew on me.

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

i only like Liar, I Mean, and the last song. if i like Hobgoblin i'd definitely download this album. but since i dont even like the title track... i don't know...

[1of1girl.livejournal.com]

it's a decent mini, there's no bad tracks but for me there aren't really any standout tracks either so it's kinda forgettable but maybe when i listen it more i come to like it more.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Liar is sooooooooooooooo good

[mylovebelt.livejournal.com]

this is such a good album. I've liked almost all their releases / b sides (minus some Japanese ones cause... Lol) and this is def one of my fave albums. I liked their old image just fine but I don't mind the re-vamped one at all

Mistake is my fave!

[boxclocks.livejournal.com]

OMGGGGGGG

Tears Bottle totally took me by surprise :OOOO What a beautiful song ;_; Their voices are completely my style.

Liar and Meow Meow (no at the weird cutesy meeeEEeeeew thrown in there though) are super good too. A lot of tropical house vibes around which I'm still loving despite the recent saturation of it. Why did they have to come back with Hobgoblin as the title track??? (ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) (what does the title even mean?) It's my least liked track on this mini which actually really exceeded my expectations \O/

[torontok.livejournal.com]

Liar is so good, why the fuck wasn't that the title

[iigoru.livejournal.com]

Really good mini. LOVE Liar and Meow Meow. Kinda sad that they're putting out quality material like this just now, in their 5th mini album...

[jaequeeragenda.livejournal.com]

OOOOOO I LOVE IT

liarrrrrrrr i was like OOooooo

shame hobgoblin was the title lol

[10135.livejournal.com]

I Mean is reminding me a lot of Pretty Girl Rock.

[supersunshiner.livejournal.com]

the enTIRE mini is so good !! meowmeow and liar are hidden gems

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Liar is so good omg. And Meow Meow is such a bop!
This might be their best mini yet. Hobgoblin sounds generic while listening to it though, I hope that whichever direction they'll take after it will be more like their other upbeat songs on the mini.

[ohlookshiny.livejournal.com]

play this at my funeral thanks

[shinychopstick.livejournal.com]

Wow! I love the whole mini. Liar would have been a better title but I see why they went with Goblin since it had more energy than an album filler (wish these title decisions weren't so predictable though). Cube rarely makes good title track choices unless the group already has some capital. Goblin is growing on me, and I like listening to it more w/out the MV. Mistake gives me 2000s R&B vibes. Meow Meow is also a solid bop. I Mean is the least memorable to me but it's still cohesive. I love Tear Bottle! It's not just a typical sweet ballad; it has a haunting quality to it that wraps up the mini in a nice way.
