I literally cried when watching the video. It was so great to see a Halateez again! I can’t wait to read more about what happened in the diary version of the album. Seems like Hongjoong sacrificed himself for Yeosang- reading the theories have been fun.
I love the choreo and the song! And the styling is also amazing as always. I love all the songs in the album. Not too late hits home so much, their lyrics are always so inspiring and motivational for the fans, or anyone really. So proud of everyone!
Jongho’s vocals continue to slay, he always reminds me of Jonghyun in the sense that that kind of strong vocals are really unique and emotional.
Seonghwa is probably one of the prettiest humans alive.
seonghwa looks so good in that outfit in the dance scenes i cant see anyone else
the song has grown on me from hearing it so much during the teaser period, i do think it still lacks a bit as a title but i do like it. i like it better than fireworks anyway. the mv is fine i guess, the end scenes in the rain are 🔥🔥🔥 and should have been the whole mv, wooyoung and yunho look so charismatic. i really like the choreo too, except for the weird waddle bit @2:12 its not a good look lol.
as for the album:
eternal sunshine — i love bright songs in general so i do like it but i don't love it. i feel an irrational dislike of any song that says 'cant stop the feeling' because it reminds me of the justin timberlake minion song and i think the chanting bit at the end is also a bit cheesy. (but after watching the performances the chanting bit is cute w/ the choreo when they're performing it live......) i'll probably grow numb to those issues after a couple of listens though and i do really like parts of it. feeling like i do — i wasn't feeling it at the beginning but i liked it by the end of the song and i feel like its a grower too. rocky — love it! it has the proper energy i associate with ateez that i think has been missing from some of their songs lately. i can already tell i will be playing this more than either of the prospective titles. all about you — its cute! and cheesy but in a way i like lol, i like that it doesnt have a big chorus but it works really well relying on all their different vocal tones for variation imo, it should sound repetitive but it doesnt. not too late — is the intro the same as dazzling light or just similar? either way its just reminding me of dazzling light which i like better but i guess if its referencing it its cute but yeah, it's pretty but definitely not my favourite softer atz song it feels a little repetitive and would have worked better if it was shorter i think.
overall i would say on first listen my ranking would be rocky > all about you > deja vu > eternal sunshine==feeling like i do > not too late
it's not my favourite ateez album by far, like the b-sides on all to action or fever pt 1 are so much better but this is a lot better than fever pt 2 where i literally only ever listen to take me home and that's it so overall i'm happy with it.
I like the song a lot. But the music video is so lacking. It's almost a dance MV. The rain scene at the end was greattho And San, Wooyoung and Seonghwa look amazing.
Personal favorite from the album is 'all about you' and the lyrics in 'not too late' I appreciate when slower songs are near the end of the album, just helps me to take a step back, gather my thoughts, and breathe it in. Hope they have a good round of promotions and welcome back Mingi!
i am super late to the post but i wanted to give the album a couple more listen throughs before i made my final decision. the only song i'm not super in love with is 'rocky' but i think right now my current favorite is 'feeling like i do'! this is a really fun and cohesive album, i love them doing lighter tracks like this. now if we could just get a mist part 2 i would die happy...
if anyone wants a gif icon from the mv let me know, i'd be happy to do it~
