ouch... a bit messy
Also yves with short hair>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
please cut it again

There's a low cost BP vibe to it (which is unusual for them)

Glad Haseul and Yeojin had notable screen time but with the main vocal line distribution/attention that left Vivi with the bridge and I don't even remember *seeing* Gowon (huh, or Hyunjin either?). Something HAS to be done BBC.

That said, the imagery was animal heads and that hair piece that I just don't know if it's bad or not? Spent the entire watch time worried about what might be worn NGL. But I do think this was fine and the b-sides should be fun

ptt is so bad 😭

It's messy but... I'm a mess so I guess it works lmao. I don't like the "we're going to paint the town" drop but everything else is already growing in me XD I really like the bridge (Haseul!!!), I dig the Bollywood inspirations, and I love Yeojin getting firmly into the rap line, she saw her moment and ran with it!
The line distribution could still be better, but it seems that only Vivi and Gowon are on the sidelines here? Hyunjin has lines in the pre-choruses (besides her "haha" in the first verses lol), both Haseul and Yeojin have their moments. I'll take any kind of progress I guess lol.
It still feels like a song that was pitched to Black Pink first, and I don't know how to feel about it. Talking about BP, I expected the last drop to last longer as YG's last drop moment usually turn into an extended dance portion but it just... ended? I think it would have been better ending on a variation of the Bollywood motif as an outro but I guess it was part of the plan since I immediatly replayed the song... at least four times by now... help

I'm conflicted about the hair pieces, Vivi's deer jewel crown looked cool (but then girl had almost no screen time... though better than Gowon who was there I guess? did anyone saw her?) but Olivia's potentially a mess. Shamanism? Fur hat? Wolf plushie? I don't know what they were going for. Thankfully we never got a clear view of it.

Haseul 😭

Minus some looks this is a great mv! The song is..... not their best, but something tells me it'll grow on me.

The song has grown on me already! I like it more than So What and Why Not at least. The chorus sounds like BP, not a huge fan of that... But the bridge is great!
For the b-sides I like all the songs except for that ballad I can't remember the name of. Different something...
I watched the live stages of both PTT and WOW, and I like both choreos! I found WOW to be really cute and refreshing though, and I kinda wish that was the direction they went with this comeback. Maybe next time? Probably not lol!

…I think I’m just falling out of love with the group. That’s three title tracks now doing nothing for me. IA with other comments saying this is very Blackpink inspired in the chorus at least. Which I’m forgiving to a point with nugu groups doing it but with groups with their own identity like Loona, it’s just disappointing. Plus that MV is just rubbing me the wrong way with the visuals.

Also I rip on Why Not often but I give it credit, the di-dum/Dum-di part in the chorus is really catchy. This chorus is the opposite for me, it’s rather bland.

I’ll check out the b-sides later.

i really want them to go back to their butterfly sound. who decided noisy was the way to go is it LSM?
i wonder if hes involved in this cb too

[nefertitii.livejournal.com]

this might be their worst noisy title track. i hate the beat.

also kpop is torturing me with that ratatata nonsense. this is like the 4th gg song to feature this

[mad-nux.livejournal.com]

i give up with loona. gowon and vivi only had like 1 second screentime. none of the bsides stand out like their other albums but i like dance on my own and be honest

[twinklehana.livejournal.com]

to me i hear blackpink in everything BUT the verses. idk why. also kind of a fx red light vibe? i reeeeally love the chorus drop, i wish it went a bit longer honestly. overall i like the song though it's definitely not as good as their other stuff - maybe it'll grow on me? i mean i thought so what was trash when it came out but a couple months later it became one of my favorite loona tracks. i'll see i guess lol

the mv is really cool too, the girls look amazing. the flashing was a bit much but i liked the colors used and the overall darker vibe

[yuwkon.livejournal.com]

sounds like a combination of everglow and blackpink rejects. the starting was actually nice until the chorus dropped. and if they're trying to get into the western market with this song (considering the amount of english lyrics here), i still don't think it's going to be saleable (or i might be wrong). i don't think i'll worry about them because it seems that their fanbase is forever growing despite releasing mediocre title tracks. i guess i just dont fit in their target audience.

[missshallelujah.livejournal.com]

a mess all around, it's just so bad yikes.

at this point i give up on them. idk if jaden jeong personally picked the songs but since he left it's been nonstop downhill for loona. maybe their bsides are still good, but a title track is supposed to make you want to listen to an album and after watching this i just feel like i lost my time.

also, kim lip in her eclipse outfit feels a little like baiting to keep people around even with their sound being in the gutter.

[kyulkyung.livejournal.com]

this is trash, all of their full group title tracks have been, but i watching their fans pretend to like their post-debut music never gets old.

[chiives.livejournal.com]

i actually like the song up until the chorus, there's so much buildup only for it to break at the chorus drop. i actually like hyejoo on the drums but lol that headdress....

listening to the album, be honest + dance on my own >>>>

[theweebdream.livejournal.com]

Yeah…that chorus part was a mess. SUPER happy with all the lines Haseul got and yeojin killed her rap part. But it was during the second pre chorus I started wondering where Vivi was…once again bbc giving rap parts to the members that can actually sing instead of those that can’t to even out the line distribution :/ also I feel like the ending should’ve gone on longer, felt like it ended abruptly. Still have to listen to the rest of the songs.

[chikage-chan.livejournal.com]

I hate it less than the past two title tracks, so yay?
They look so gorgeous, though! And the MV is nice, there’s is always something interesting going on!

[myungung.livejournal.com]

Oops I kinda like it? Is it Stockholm syndrome or because it’s better than their past few title tracks? The song does a good use of talk-singing than past few tracks so it’s a plus. Gowon looked good at the start and then she disappeared. I get the idea of Vivi in the bridge but it was too short and why did she have to share screen time? But I must say the line distribution for the rest is great for the rest, a lot lesser Heejin and Kim Lip than I expected.
Visual wise, Yves long hair and the asian warrior aesthetic was something they could have done for the others too though

omg is it time to unstan 😭. I haven’t been feeling it for so long. Win me back with an Odd Eye Circle Comeback please.

[lolknope.livejournal.com]

Just bring back OEC please!!

[thebloomroom.livejournal.com]

Yikes, its bad. The chorus transition gave me Everglow but it wasnt good

And I liked their last song everyone hated 😂 So What

[inwazyja.livejournal.com]

Sigh. I love them, I do, but if we have to wait a year between each cb, this really isn't cutting it anywhere close.

The bsides are nice (Dance on my Own and UR stand out to me), but the title track is yet again a major disappointment. As much as I hate to admit it, Jaden Jeong really must've been the main creative voice behind their earlier sound. Yes they skipped around genres, but none of it was boring. This is boring. Star had it but working with (Alleged) sexual abusers ain't worth a solitary good song.

[kashiyaek.livejournal.com]

wow they just keep missing, what the fuck is blockberry doing to these girls. really feels like one of those things that feels offensive but im not entirely sure if it is?? but even the mv aside, the song is ass
