Supernova
Love the scifi/videogame vibe with this song, it's quite heavy and that's why i don't really listen to it on repeat, it's a bit experimental to me
Armageddon
Similar concept to Supernova but I like it better. It's catchier and sounds a bit like a better version of a Blackpink song
Set The Tone
Getting girlboss vibes from this, just like Supernova and Armageddon it has a strong feeling
Mine
Not particulary impressed, also a heavy song
Licorice
This and Armageddon are my favorite songs on the album. the MV is my favorite. Reminds me of Salty and Sweet. More upbeat than previous songs
BAHAMA
Nice summer song, definetely stands out as a song from this album
Long Chat
Also a happy upbeat song, okayish song
Prologue
Not many feelings about this song, not remarkable to me
Live My Life
Love how this sounds like an anime opening
Melody
Not a fan of ballads, this sounds like from a kdrama romance montage.
Overall review:First 4 songs of the album are heavier with the original aespa scifi concept that reminds of their first hits like Black Mamba, Next Level, and Girls. The rest of the 6 songs on the album are a completely different tone. The album doesn't have one coherent concept/sound, and not all albums have to be, but it's just what I prefer. There were a few filler songs that didn't impress me. I definetely prefer Aespa's previous mjni albums Savage and Girls as whole concepts but this album had great hits like Armageddon, Licorice and Bahama.
8/10
