Everyone is so split down the middle with that song, but I personally love it because there is so much going on. Plus it was really unique, which is always a plus.

I love IGAB.  I'm still salty they cut the Tiffany/Taeyeon bridge out of the live version.

I'm the same as IAM for Infinite so far, hits being The Chaser, Be Mine(ish) and Last Romeo (+ the upbeat songs on Infinitize and Season 2) and misses being like, BTD and Destiny.

i get it why people here like red light ... people that are into american music can easily accept songs like red light..
but for typical kpop listeners, they might have a tough time adapt to that sound.
between, did you guys hear the demo in english? It is much better in english. it should have stayed as an english dance pop song.

Infinite are great, as is Season 2 as an album, but I'm not sure why, no matter how much I love their music, I never feel like I like it enough to that extra mile as a fan and stan hard for them. They're a bit like ZE:A. Actually good music, but there's something there that's just not happening.

 I can understand why some people dislike Destiny, but Before the Dawn??!!!
That song is the beginning of their signature sound. That song is like one of the best, even better than Be Mine, Man in Love, Last Romeo ... though the chaser remains the best

Between, I'm still mad that AOA chose the wrong timing for comeback. They could have at least win something, but now B2st and Taeyang are blocking them, then f(x) comes ...

 Red Light's chorus is kind of grating but I love love love the bridge. Sounds like too much going on at once. I think I need a few more listens though. The video is cool.

Nice to see another person who loves it! I don't listen to it a whole lot nowadays but when it comes on shuffle it's always a treat.

"BTD" and "Destiny" are definitely hits. 
Group them with "The Chaser" and you have their top three.

I'm getting to that point where I'm about to fall into Infinite's trap, tbh.
I learned the members, I'm really loving their album, I already like most of their material... I think all I need to do is listen to their material in full a couple of times and I'm sold.

I love the bridge too. and the adlibs during chorus.
other than that, same as you. too much ongoing, i can't even get when is the chorus when is the verses. it sounds like a remixed version

Well sorry, I'm just not a huge fan of songs that are 30% English with such faux-epic instrumentals. Their best songs are the ones where they aren't so spectacularly pretentious.

ironically, the instrumentals are what got me into the songs.
I really like infinite's songs cause they have those epic-feeling instruments (the same reason i like gaga's songs cause of instrumentals too).

It's one of the reasons their music IS so great, but there's just something about BTD that just seems laughably non-epic to me. I'm happy to admit Destiny is a great song, but there really is that something about BTD that's like the definition of anti-climatic.

The Chaser > Paradise > Destiny = Before the Dawn > Last Romeo >> Man in Love
