We Lost The Summer is such a bop, on repeat!!!

[kyungwons.livejournal.com]

going from this song is ok to i'm losing my mind

way home - it's not bad but it's not catchy and i probably won't listen to it regularly.

blue hour - i am the biggest fan of bright bg songs but my expectations were just too high. i like it more now i've listened to it a couple of times and the sound is a bit clearer on spotify than in the mv but it's still too bland and easily their weakest title

we lost the summer - its great and i've listened to it far more than blue hour already its just a more interesting track. i like that a lot of the songs on this have a more sad atmosphere despite being quite upbeat musically

wishlist - i love it so much!!!!!! i've listened to it like 30 times already this is the bright bg song i wanted it's so cute!!! on first listen it's already in my top songs of this year it's so fun and upbeat. it doesn't beat run away for me for their best bright song but its pretty close

ghosting - i'm losing my mind over this song it's so good i literally had my head in my hands when i was hearing it for the first time i wasn't expecting a song this good for the first track. it has that soundtrack vibe and it really creates an atmosphere i love it it's crazy good. and seeing txt members have writing credits on my two fav tracks from the album is a good sign hope they keep letting them have input cause it clearly improves the final product

100% agree with everything you wrote.

Very pleased with this mini, title INCLUDED. The dance break version they performed with the costume change earlier was great!!

I have to listen again to get a favorite album track but everything is very solid

I couldn't sleep so I watched their comeback show live on youtube this morning lol. They're so cute!

I kinda think We Lost the Summer should've been the title track, but I get why the went with Blue Hour too

i did not vibe that much with their previous songs but the new song/video/super fem wardrobe has won me over. i am not a bg fan so clearly they’re doing something right. will actually be checking this album out.

It's a good mini, i liked all of the songs, it flows well, it's bright, it's fun. My favourite songs are blue hour, wishlist and ghosting. The only song i don't care for is we lost the summer, weirdly. It's nice too and i will be listening to it, but it's the only one that i find kind of bland.

I liked the previous mini better (i was sure that was going to be the case) but that's because fairy of shampoo and eternally are there. I can already tell they will never top those two songs.

Yesss!!! They did THAT again. I love love this EP, I think it even surpassed their debut EP for me. We lost the Summer, Wishlist and Ghosting are my favorites. Blue hour is cute and upbeat I can see why they made it be the title track. The performance was so bright and pretty lol I love the little dance they do at the end with the hats and jackets.

ghosting - i love the guitar. makes me miss run away even more tho! skipped towards the middle

blue hour - it's the disco sibling to dynamite but definitely not as catchy. i rather listen to dynamite (it generic but it works) while watching txt mv on mute. another skip ultimately on second listen

wishlist - MORE GUITARS?!! I AM INTERESTED!!! another song with great verses and a lame chorus. skipped.

way home - omg another SKIP :(

conclusion: the dream chapter: magic still reigns

Quick thoughts:

Ghosting: This one is super pretty.
Blue Hour: Probably my least favourite title track of theirs. I already didn't care for "Dynamite" and this is a lesser version of that. Pass.
We Lost the Summer: This one is just okay too. It sounds unfinished.
Wishlist: The chorus lets down what could have been another great track.
Way Home: The mixing on this is incredibly off – almost like the sound engineer was using cheap ass earbuds.

Overall a massive step back from The Dream Chapter: Eternity. I'm taking "Ghosting" and running.

Ghosting >>>>>>

New Rules remains their best song tho. We Lost the Summer and Whislist are also really fun.

ghosting is everything we need!! they should stick to dream pop tbh

blue hour- is the teen bop version of boy with love but fills the hole previous pastel bop boys seventeen left. we need more silly light hearted songs

we lost the summer- has a great foundation but sounds like a jungkook solo demo

wishlist- yasss give me one direction! give me 00's punk rock boys like girls, we the kings vibes! give me high school nostalgia lol

way home- i like it but like everyone said the mixing sounds so odd its distracting. the levels sound off

as a kpop trash queen i accept so much nonsense so obv i love this lol. in my head at work i had a lot of great points to bring up but my head is empty rn lol. its been a while since i stanned a boy group this hard. i'm either a passive fan or obsess for a smooth week and forget about them lol so i hope that doesn't happen again. they are so charming and fun i want the best for them ಥ‿ಥ king yeojun of yeehaw nation is perfect and my new bias lol

but CYSM and Run Away >>>>>

I'M IN LOVE WITH GHOSTING I CAN'T KJSDFHS. I love this mini! Granted, The Dream Chapter series remains my favourite (much like HYYH is still my favourite BTS series) but this is pretty good imo. It's bright and cute, still staying on brand of TXT. I'm so excited to see them perform this week along with MC Soobin :')

solid album, it's a shame about the production....
