Their styling is so bad that I have trouble watching because secondhand embarrassment. Also both songs are mediocre shit and Bom sounds awful.
ETA: Now that I have listened to all the tracks I think only 'Kill This Love' and 'It's Cold' should have made the cut and the rest should have never seen the daylight. What a disappointing album! Also it was a HUGE mistake to involve YG producers as lots of stuff sounds more like GD/Big Bang than Epik High.
Bom's voice is so annoying on Up. Kill This Love is my favourite song so far though.
Don't Hate Me was hilarious and OMG Mithra and Tukutz are so hot idek. And Tablo putting the mannequin's hands into his jacket sleeves was so funny to me. The girl dressed up as Gaga was my favourite.
I don't know why I don't really like both MVs, probably because I prefer darker Epik High (but I love Wannabe and the continuation). I find Up is a bit cheesy as well. I like the album though, best YG release this year for me.
I like UP, though I'm not a big fan of the MV. Could definitely do w/o Bom's featuring, so it's a good thing her feature didn't play a big part in the song. Don't Hate Me is a bit more pop sounding, so it doesn't appeal to me quite as much, but the MV is great.
Kill this Love is amazing, I love the different sounds. New Beautiful sounds like it has a nice message from what I understood. 사랑한다면 해선 안될 말 is really mellow...it feels kind of 70's? I think? Like maybe 70's mixed with 80's... I like how 아까워 builds up subtly as the song continues.
honestly bom needs to get some singing lessons omg her voice sounds even worse than usual. up could have been a great song if they chose a better singer to collaborate with.
don't hate me has bigbang written all over it aka i don't like it. also tablo's english sounds annoying.
disappointing as fuck. i don't know what they were thinking when they decided to release this.
i so agree with you. i feel so disappointed with these songs, i hate both of them. neither of them sound like epik high songs to me, they sound like songs that could be given to big bang or some other idol group.
but i've been kind of disappointed with them for a while with their past few albums... not to mention that they went from independently managing themselves to going to yg.
I think "don't hate me" isn't that bad and very different since its so positive as oppose some of the deeper and dark things they did in the past.Its nice how the kids were incorporated.
Am I the only one who doesn't like "Don't Hate Me"? I get the MV is cute and shit, but they look like teenage idols, the colors and styling hurt my eyes. The song sounds like typical 2NE1/BB songs I don't bother listening twice. There are some good songs in the album but this is the first time I'm not impressed by EH's album, which saddens me, a lot.
The album was a letdown. I can't find a single song I love, and while the two title songs are ok for me the reasons why I like them are completely different from the reasons I like the epik high songs I have on my iTunes. Ugh I know they warned us but whyyy >< And bom sounds like she's straining.
Up is a mess and Park Bom's screeching only makes it worse.
I haven't listened to the full album but between Up, Don't Hate Me and Cold, Cold is by farrrr the best song so far. Don't Hate Me sounds like a big bang reject song. idk, I love Epik High's darker stuff as they do it so incredibly well.
ahhh there's a mini GD in don't hate me. LOVE the new songs :D
I love how Don't Hate Me is back to Epik High's random MV that doesn't relate to their songs. like back in the day, with Fly and etc. Come back to America please! XD
i love everything abt this minus Bom's part. Epik High (Tablo) already warned that the album this time would be a completely new style that EH never tried before. i guess most of the ~disappointed fans here still prefers EH's darker and gloomier sound before. i just think that this is more like an experiment for them to do a more catchier song and afterall, Tablo said that they just wanted to make the fans happy despite all the downs that's been happening
