Decided to write down all my thoughts as I listened to the album for the first time.
Red Light; Awesome, incredible, a bop, etc.
Milk; The cat and dog at the start.
The whistles and the harmonies!!!! This second verse! This song is sort of perfect, even better than I imagined in full. The "ooh-ooh"s still destroy me. So fresh so fine!
Butterfly; the start sounds quite dark and f(ierce) and matches with their teaser pics. The chorus is pretty awesome too. The production during the second verse, lord.
The final chorus could have done something more than "la la la la la la" but oh well, sounds nice.
Rainbow; we were so caught up with CL and M.I.A that we didn't even consider Amber being able to pull off this sound. She sounds right in her element! The bridge, destroy me Amber.
The outro.
All Night; It's nice and cruisey but it sounds out of place imo. If nothing else, at least it's a little nod towards f(NU ABO). I agree with those who said this sounds like a SNSD track. I'm here swaying though so I'm not complaining.
Vacance; that chorus sounds so bright and unexpected considering the verses and pre chorus.
They snuck in some Roly Poly "ooh ooh"s too, it sounds really good. Not that All Night was bad, it's not, but this track feels like a return to form back into what this album had set up with the first four tracks.
Spit it Out; there is so much going on omg.
I LIVE.
The electronic component of the verses gave me some j-pop vibes and then holy **** the breakdown.
f(x) what are you doing to me.
Boom Bang Boom; this is so unexpected, like I don't even know what to say. It's like a video game but has guitar parts and then that chorus BOOM BANG BOOM. This is epic!! BOOM BANG BOOM indeed.
I love this song.
Dracula; the screams.
I like that this song tries to extend the creepy/gothic factor for the era but beyond the screams it isn't a big "wow" song. It got better towards the end though. Maybe it's a grower but the other songs seemed to do their job better than this one.
Summer Love; This a nice bop but feels like a second rate Vacance. I don't really have much more to say about this one.
Paper Heart; Aw this is cute. Better than Summer Love and Dracula. I like how even the ballads/midtempos on this album still have a bit of a kick to them. Pa-pa-pa-pa-paper heart
Please be gentle.
Overall I still think this is a major competitor for AOTY.
f(lawless) once again killing it.
