Coffee Shop is glorious, I love it. Very Maroon 5 which I honestly expected but it's great.
Na Geudae Boda is back to the laid back lovely CNblue songs I love, and yes I'm so fucking happy, crying at how good it is. Who knows it might beat Imagine even, just maybe.
Naran Namja is something new for them, hmm more dance than rock. It's so addictive, I can imagine Sistar singing this lol.
La La La is nice too, maybe needed something extra in the sound but still great
Where You are is flawless so yeah.
Love the mini, will just have to see if this hold up in time as well as Bluelove or Bluetory, or The Way or even 392.
I was worried sick for past 2 weeks because after Ear Fun it was hard to expect anything from korean releases... But i'm VERY pleased with this mini. It's really good and each song stands out for me and i love it so much. Jonghyun's composition truly stands out. He has amazing skills.
it's so obvious that Na Geudaeboda wasn't composed by yonghwa. it has a different sound compared to the other tracks.
lalala also has a different sound. and i'm not sure it should be in the mini. it's a good song, but the base sound is totally different than the rest of the album. it's less organic and less funky. although it still has that typical cn blue sound.
coffee shop is the mainstream sounding of them all. i'm surprised they didn't choose that as lead single. naran namja could be a good lead single, too. (or maybe coffee shop, naran namja and i'm sorry just sound too alike?)
all the songs are good. the mini is solid in that way, but i wish the sound was more consistent. if they're going for a more funky sound, they should stick with it.
i love jonghyun's voice so much. i love how subtle it is. it such a contrast to yonghwa's voice and singing. but the two have a very good dynamics. yonghwa's the lead singer, but he supports jonghyun so well in the parts where jonghyun is leading.
ITA about the Yonghwa+Jonghyun thing - people tend to underrate Yonghwa's voice and set Jonghyun's on a pedestal but the different tones add colour, which they generally use pretty well imo.
I'm Sorry is such a jam. The talky parts of Coffee Shop made me crack up. xD Overall I really appreciate the details on this album - the rhythms, the experimental (for CNB) sounds. Fave parts are probably the interchange-y bits in the Naran Namja verses (where Jonghyun's leading).
I liked Jonghyun's song but I prefer some of the other stuff he's written (Lie, Eclipse).
i could never get into them and now i know why; they sound like a christian rock band...so bland. something is missing or the vocalist needs to change his range.
I listened to the mini today at work, and I really like it! Coffee Shop is super catchy and fun. I think they have better songs on the mini than "I'm Sorry" so I kinda wish they'd chosen a different one as the title track, buuuut oh well.
