Am I the only one not really fan of repackages? cause most of the time it's a couple of song who doesn't even go with the rest of the album, just for the sake of having more songs...
I definitely like Odd better. I love almost every song on it, including the repack songs, whereas I'm only lukewarm on nearly half of 1of1.
Honestly with repacks, I like the way SM's been doing it lately. They make a full album to begin with then hold back 3 or 4 tracks, two of which are usually very good, and stick them on later. So really it feels like they're just completing the album, which I think would improve my opinion of 1of1 greatly.
This Little Mix sing would fit so well on The Red.
this song is such a bop (only because of Sean Paul tho cause he gives it that extra flavor) and with a more hard-hitting production, it would slay on The Red tbh
After the hype i've decided I still like Odd better, but 1of1 is still really good and I like pretty much every song (one still needs to grow on me). However, the single is flawless.
omg I'm watching the All In dance practice video again (I watch it a lot) and unpopular opinion but that body/back roll dance grosses/freaks me out when the guy in Xalric's avi does it it's like he has no bones inside of him
still can't believe Taemin & Jonghyun releasd their magnum opuses this year
2016 really is the best year for kpop & music in general
Why do i keep on thinking Press It was released last year?
Matter of fact half of the songs/albums released this year feel like it was released last year.
Okay so after listening to SHINee's album multiple times over the past couple of days I'm actually not super pleased. I like the songs individually, but as an album I feel like this is one of their weaker releases since the 2012 renaissance. I find it glaringly incohesive.
I have thoughts.
The title track is great, as are Don't Let Me Go and You Need Me, which all go together well enough, but then we have Prism, Feel Good, and Shift - the 3 lowkey EDM songs that are...kind of...interchangeable. I love Shift and Prism but I find myself singing the choruses over one another because the songs are so similarly produced, and Feel Good, despite being very polished, is a bit boring to me. I don't dislike any of them - I think they're all great, but they don't belong on one album. And on a personal note, I don't really like the "soft EDM" sound for SHINee. Prism and Shift are at least a little punchy, if somewhat muted, but Feel Good just completely slides in one ear and out the other. I find View more ear-catching than all of them, and it was considered shockingly lowkey for them when it came out, so there you go.
The whole tracklist is especially jarring because the title track is a completely different sound that isn't matched by the majority of the album. 1of1 is different from the EDM trio which is completely different from DLMG which is nothing like You Need Me which is completely different from Lipstick and Don't Stop which sound like Odd leftovers and are different from So Amazing which is a less interesting version of Colorful. 1of1 the song is great and definitely signifies a forward movement in sound for SHINee, a feat they've managed every era since Sherlock, but this time the rest of the album doesn't match.
It just seems like they were all pulled from different eras and genres. (And, truthfully, different quality levels. Lipstick, to me, is like...one of their blandest songs ever, and So Amazing just sounds old.) That in itself doesn't mean the album couldn't be cohesive, but it's too short. Nine songs aren't enough to weave all the different influences together and the whole thing ends up sounding disconnected. I realize the same might be said about Odd but Odd had a much clearer theme in production and more room to play since it was almost twice as long. 1of1 as a whole is just lackluster to me, especially following Odd, which I loved. Individually the songs are good, but I can't help but feel like they don't belong together.
That being said, I'd rank my favorites:
1of1
Don't Let Me Go
Shift
You Need Me
Prism
Feel Good
Don't Stop
So Amazing
Lipstick
And really, I like everything except Lipstick and So Amazing. I'm at about a B+ for the album as a whole, which is the least I've liked a (Korean) body of work from them since Lucifer. I hope they get repackage cause honestly I'm just gonna be sad otherwise.
We have the exact same top 4
1of1 and Don't Let Me Go were the two songs I loved instantaneously, and sort of Shift. Though I really like most of the album I had to listen a couple times before deciding how I felt about the rest. I definitely like Odd more too tho
this song is such a bop (only because of Sean Paul tho cause he gives it that extra flavor) and with a more hard-hitting production, it would slay on The Red tbh
The girls would've taken it and the rest of Get Weird to another level, tbh
I still don't like 1 of 1, first Shinee title track I haven't been able to enjoy since becoming a stan Although Everybody aged like milk so I guess that counts too
Thankfully I'm loving Prism, Feel Good, Don't Stop, Shift & U Need Me so its all good.

!! i swear to god i thought it was released in 2015 but then i remember being subscribed to the SM channel and freaking out when it first came out (and that was before i truly got into SHINee properly, fate tbh)
thats apart of so many releases happening so often lol, i swear i thought all of the comebacks from the beginning of the year happened last year or 2014

omg, i NEED Red Velvet to have their own 'Black Magic' but it'll be more epic, of course (video wise cause the song on its own slays). im so here for a Red Velvet: Remixed where they do their own versions of american pop songs by Ariana & etc. it'll be a global smash

GOT7 just got the highest score in the history of Inkigayo. Apparently, it's bc the voting system has changed (11k was usually the max points) but either way
So, in the face of that Lim Changjung debacle along with those cheeky puberty girls setting up camp, Inkigayo has gone ahead and for the second time, made the digital score less important in determining Korea's inki song? Good to know.
Wonder if with this system, "Boobayah" would've beaten "Whistle."
