Red Light's cinematography is superb although it seems wasted on a few member shots and dance scenes. As for the song, the pre chorus and middle 8 are particularly great, as for the rest, complete and utter ****ing trash.
Red Light is... I like it, but I agree the chorus comes out of nowhere and it's sort of uneasing it doesn't really go with the song at all. Oh well, the album will be good anyway, I'm still buying.
And bom's been saved...the netizen;s have spoken...

1. [+12,713, -458] As expected, Dispatch organizes it and clears it up refreshingly
2. [+10,634, -1,140] I get all the talk about Park Bom being in the wrong and all but please stop saying that her scandal is being used to bury various issues like the Sewol Ferry investigations. Everyone is already well aware of those news and it's already being covered on public broadcast news channels. Why would you be naive enough to think that a scandal that only teens care about would be used to cover a societal issue that adults in their thirties-seventies care about?
3. [+9,457, -640] Dispatch explains it all. So please stop arguing over useless things.
4. [+8,884, -323] Dispatch asking the important things ㅋㅋ
5. [+5,443, -394] She took 3-4 pills over a week. With that amount, you can't even make meth. Where did all the commenters go who accused her of being a druggie and didn't believe it was for treatment purposes?
6. [+2,8467, -224] Reminds me of when Park Bom sobbed after Jo Se Ho's mother wished her happiness ㅠㅠ Her wounded past breaks my heart ㅠㅠ Find strength
7. [+2,895, -318] Regardless, people will refuse to believe Park Bom even if she submitted all the necessary proofs so I feel bad for her
8. [+2,435, -177] To everyone who didn't read... She took 3-4 pills over a week for treatment purposes.. and after she found out it was illegal, she went to get legal treatment at a Korean hospital. Park Bom did not receive special treatment. Stop interpreting it to suit your needs.. ㅡ ㅡ
and F(x) is still getting praised....well somewhat...

Article: f(x)'s unexpected power in 'Red Light'... unique charms

1. [+1,668, -77] Their visuals are the best I've seen yet but this song is weirdest out of them all ㅠ
2. [+1,448, -53] They've always had convoluted songs but this is the most convoluted I've heard from them... Seems like they lost what they were trying to get across by trying to emphasize a certain concept.
3. [+1,362, -95] SM should admit that they've reached their limits and should employ famous Korean composers. They're ruining their own talented artists with their stubbornness.
4. [+1,321, -81] Why did they choose this concept? I wanted something cute because it's the summer... The concept's the same as their teaser pictures... Although it's a bit scary looking, they're still pretty.
5. [+1,136, -103] It's like some satan concept;;;;
6. [+888, -78] Gives off Free Mason/Illuminati feels
7. [+715, -50] Luna personally looks prettier in this album after her diet
8. [+656, -27] It's certainly powerful but the song itself is weird and doesn't match them
9. [+652, -43] f(x)'s music videos have always been dance focused but it's not this time
Just listened to Red Light and wow, it is definitely one of my favorite K-Pop singles ever! I like that SM finally decided to do something other than the box MV once again and the dark visuals are spectacular. And Amber's voice in the bridge is perfect, she should sing like that more often.
However, I do agree with others that the chorus definitely doesn't fit in well with the song, but it doesn't totally ruin it for me at the same time.
Red Light to me is f(x)'s answer to SHINee's Everybody. Both songs confused the **** out of me at first listen but I think I actually might love Red Light.

For sure noT what I expected.
I agree, even though I'm not a HUGE fan of Everybody.
I just love the way Red Light explodes at the chorus, only to keep on moving up with that freaking buildup towards the end of the chorus, that's what gets me.
Every. damn. time.
