I love how the whole MV concept was just america 😭

Rich Man - I did NOT think I'd like it from the preview, but it's good! I'm sure people are mad cuz there aren't as much rock elements(esp through the album i've heard) but I think it's good. Ningning's era, second to cooper ofc.

Drift - That whistle sounds so nostalgic and I don't know why. And it's fire of course, what else did we expect from them

Bubble - I was not expecting them to turn bop it into a song I low-key forgot about this one from the snippets but I like it. It reminds me of another aespa b-side that I'm too melted in the brain rn to remember rn(post concussion syndrome). This is SO giselle

Count On Me - Love the melody here, all of their melodies in this album have been on 10! Their vocals and harmonies are so beautiful!

Angel #48 - GISELLE IN THE INTRO LMAOOO they really have her be saying anything

To The Girls - OOH OOH THIS ONE SOUNDS LIKE IN MY DREAMS BY RV. Not much else to say except it's good

Final Thoughts: Not my fave aespa album but nothing can top savage anyways ✨ It was good, none of them I would go out of my way to listen to yet, I think I need to re-listen. Aespa can't really make bad songs imo so it's never a surprise when their songs are good I think I'm just spoiled from that to make good commentary work with me

Final Ranking:

1. Rich Man
2. Drift
3. Angel #48
4. Bubble
5. Count on Me
6. To The Girls

Ahh I'm so excited! I've never been this early to an album it feels.

Up to You - OMGGGGG this is SO twice j-bside, it's such a signature sound I can't explain it. So summery!

ENEMY - I've already heard her but god it's so good. Top songs of the year honestly, it gives me the same vibes cosmic by RV gives me.

FINE - Oh yea this album is &TWICE's sister. The synths in the chorus!??! Twice always brings the heat idk why I'm so surprised this album is a 10/10

One Day - It sounds so sentimental for some reason 🥹

Blind In Love - Oh yea this is gonna be one of my faves. omg Jihyo's falsetto is beautiful. Sanas too ahh!!! MINA GOT A BRIDGE HECK YEAH!!!

Love is more - love love loveeee that piano. OH MY GOD TZUYU'S VOICE THIS IS GONNA BE MY FAVORITE FROM THAT ALONE. the little rap, this reminds me of misamo haute couture album, I love it sm!!!

The Wish - Cuteeee ^^ It reminds me of polish from &TWICE

Glow - My hair is flowing in the wind as we speak. I'm not a fan of ballads but, I love the way they showed off their vocals here. This song especially is perfect for chae's vocal range!

Like 1 (+M/V) - I'm not crying u are.... The MV was so sweet, I love how comforting this album is! I love the song as well, very upbeat!

This was a great album, I'm def gonna have it on repeat! I'm too tired for a ranking, but my fave is def Love is more <3

IRENE & SEULGI "TILT - The 2nd Mini Album" listening

I've been procrastinating this for so long, but today has been a good day so I will take advantage of that, because I really want to check it out! I love RVs music so much, they're right next to Twice music-wise. I know Tilt like the back of my hand so we wont include that one.

What's Your Problem? - God idk why Julie gets so many features, on artists I like's songs too, it's annoying. But I will try and ignore her(If you live under a rock, she's racist). Ooh ok very RV from the get go! Love how the beat came in, this is so kpop. Oh pack it up guys julie started yapping(🗣GET OU-). Ok this is so R&B I love it!

Irresistible - I HEARD A SNIPPET OF THIS ONE IVE BEEN SO SO SOOOO EXCITED FOR IT! IT'S ALREADY PEAK OFF RIP OH MY GOD. AH SEULGI'S VOICE! I say this all the time but her voice is like honey. Imagine me doing the "black people stank face when something is GOOD" cuz i'm making that face the entire time. Finna be on repeat ALL FALL <3

Girl Next Door - This is so funky omg. Idk what this reminds me of but I love how powerful it is. Ok nvm I got it, it reminds me of MORE by J-hope and Sweet Chaos by DAY6(<--- huge compliment, this song is legendary) but with switch-ups. Lord this is amazing I love all the switch ups.

Trampoline - These lyrics are something 🤨 but they're also 30 so this is fine lmao. This honestly could be the title track!

Heaven - Those SYNTHS. Ooh this is funky~ This is going straight to my "blasting in the car once I learn how to drive" lol. Their vocals are so good together, the fact that they can harmonize this good with just 2 people? It's so obvious they're professionals.

FINAL THOUGHTS: A no-skip as usual. I honestly didn't have much to say because their music is so high quality like all the songs were equally as amazing. They did their big one w this one!

Anyways time for the ranking:

1. Irresistible - I've hyped this song up so much I have to put it first lmao.

2. TILT - Push me too hard I'll, TILT TILT TILT TILT!

3. Girl Next Door - Dead Man Runnin's little sister right here :D

4. Heaven - Truly heavenly

5. What's Your Problem? - ur my problem julie ರ_ರ

SO EXCITED TO CHECK OUT THE ALBUM, ESP ON THE DAY IT RELEASED I'VE EARNED MY ONCE TITLE BACKKK🍭

I love that they kept the momo pic as the album cover it's too cute :) Let's gooooo!

FOUR - THIS BEAT. Yes ik it's just an intro but I'm gonna listen anyway. JEONGYEON'S VOICE OMG! Oh this intro is gonna be on repeat idc. Ooh a beat change! Instrumental is so fire.

THIS IS FOR - Ofc I've heard this last night but we will review anyway! I love how the verses are more r&b vocal focused but the chorus is so atlanta party vibes. It feels like they made it for me as an atl girl 😌 Tzuyu's vocals are amazing btw, all of them did great but I had to note that out. This is def jeongyeon's era btw! That bass is amazingggg.

OPTIONS - The harp!!! Oh heck yeah this whole album is gonna be vibes I can tell. TZUYU'S VOCALS AGAIN!!! She's improved so much ahhh. That chorus is amazing GODDDD. It reminds me of a mix of moonlight and kiss my troubles away. The bridge is heavenly~

MARS - Ooh the synths and guitar are giving I Got You! The chorus sounds like i'm floating on air it flows so well, and oh my god jihyo's vocals I wanna see them do this with live vocals. That chorus' melody is so amazing and the beat reminds me of take on me.

RIGHT HAND GIRL - I love their girl best friend lyrics so muchhhh. So summery it's giving 1 3 2. "Make your body whine whine" island twice before gta6 💀. Once I learn how to drive this is gonna hit so hard in the car.

PEACH GELATO - Ooh the vocals are so crisp. Can I danceeee~` with you again you again(that line's been stuck in my head ever since the sneak peek) It's a nice simple beat but it's great!

HI HELLO - I've been sooooo excited for this one! Oh this is SO twice. God I've said this so many times but I loveeee tzuyu's voice so much. Hi! Hello~! It was too short but I loved it!!!!

SUBUNITS TIME I'M SO READY.

BATTITUDE (NAYEON, JEONGYEON, MOMO, MINA) - DEM JOINTZ. OH HECK YESS THIS GONNA BE ONE OF MY FAVES THAT BEAT IS NYASTY Y'ALL. TWERK ANTHEM. BEST SONG SO FAR I'M SCREAMING. NAYEON'S RAPPING AGAIN, JEONGYEON AHH THIS IS AMAZING IT GETS BETTER EVERY SECOND. NA NA NA NA, NA NA NA NA~! LOVED IT.

DAT AHH DAT OOH (SANA, JIHYO, DAHYUN, CHAEYOUNG, TZUYU) - OOH THEY CAME THROUGH W THIS ONE TOO. OMG Tzuyu said she been that girl SPEAK UR TRUTH. The synths are so good. Dubu's shining in this one! Also I love the reference to their debut with the title, twice coming full circle ｡:ﾟ(;´∩`;)ﾟ:｡

LET LOVE GO (JEONGYEON, MOMO, SANA, TZUYU) - Funky! This melody is so uplifting paired with the lyrics. The post chorus vocals are beautiful! This album is amazing i'm gagged.

G.O.A.T. (MINA, DAHYUN, CHAEYOUNG) - This is nice. I'm getting formula of love vibes. I love how the rappers can sing and the singers can rap, well-rounded groups are so versatile.

TALK (NAYEON, JIHYO) - This one's also been stuck in my head I'm so ready for these vocals. Nahyo doing R&B is heavenly. The antidrop works so well. This reminds me of Boo'd Up, those synths are actually amazing. Jihyo's ad-libs while Nayeon sings the last chorus? ATE.

SEESAW - Ooh Tzuyu starting this off I'm already in love. This is giving me what is love era :D This song is just what we needed it's so lovely. It's a song where u can just back and appreciate the music.

HEARTBREAK AVENUE - Last song (╥﹏╥) Ooh it's cute! It's giving their Japanese songs! I was fully expecting a super sad ballad but this is amazing holyyyy. So mellow and groovy. Nayeon's vocals are STRONG. These lyrics are beautiful and relatable wow. It just gets better god their vocals are great. The guitar solo AHHHH!!!!!!!!!

FINAL THOUGHTS: When I say that was the most no-skip album I've ever heard, I'm not kidding. Every song was at LEAST an 8 likeee. That was genuinely amazing! I'm genuinely overwhelmed by how good ALL the songs are. This is one of their best albums ever. The versatility of TWICE is great, and I'm so proud of them, seeing them grow with every comeback.

Time for the ranking:

1. THIS IS FOR - Great amazing lovely we loved it

2. BATTITUDE - DemJointz never misses and my girls went SO hard

TWICE - STRATEGY album review

Tue, 01 Jul 2025 00:43:46 GMT

Posted by: mome

I'M SO EXCITED!! Honestly I'm not expecting much song-wise, but twice r my goats so I know it'll be good regardless. I've heard strategy ofc and the 1.0 version so we wont include those.

Kiss My Troubles Away- OMG THE RETRO SYNTHS FADING IN? Vocals are eatingg! I loveeeee the way it seamlessly goes into the chorus! Such a strong track it reminds me of their O+T=<3 album so much. The last chorus oh my god! Such a summer bop, even tho this came in the winter lol.

Like It Like It - It's already giving me "Something" by Nayeon vibes(potential mashup idea hmm). I love when they make bops like this. DAHYUNS HIGH VOICE ON THE SECOND VERSE??? Very pinkpantheress vibes I like it(like it).

Sweetest Obsession - This one they released earlier I remember it(+ the sanayeon kiss)! Wow it's reminding me of twice's old era which I love, this would def fit on the twicetagram album. Very cute <3

Keeper - The Atlanta vibes are strongggg, my fave so far. I like the back and forth during the prechorus.

Magical - ALREADY GIVING MAGICAL!! THE CHORUS!! So pretty! Love the little bells! The bridge is great too, great way to end off the album.

FINAL THOUGHTS: Ok, not their strongest album but I liked it regardless. I love how they've grown so much that even their "worst" albums are still all great. A no skip as usuallll

Now for the ranking:

1. Strategy(megan ver)! It was deserved as the title track.

2. Magical. It's kinda sentimental and I love it.

3. Keeper. Love the drums and bass.

4. Kiss My Troubles Away. The synths are amazingggg.

5. Sweetest Obsession. The chorus is greatttttt

6. Like it Like it. I still loved it but all the songs are great ok!!

I'm so so soooo proud of myself for finally checking this out :))))

aespa "Whiplash - The 5th Mini Album" review

Tue, 22 Oct 2024 19:48:39 GMT

Posted by: mome

Whiplash is so good! I love the visuals in the MV, all of the outfits are fire asf! I'm obsessed with ningning's rap and the nasally way she starts it off saying "fancy" it's so addicting. I listened to the album and livetooted it on fedi, here's my thoughts from then(don't mind the emojis im leaving them because they help fill the gaps lol):

"Kill It"
Starting it off with that flow :NingShock: this song is so aespa :minjukekw2:

"Flights, Not Feelings"
OOH I CAN TELL IMMA LOVE THIS ONE ALREADY :hiidisgust: Idk what this type of R&B is called but it works so well for them :jenniejuseyo: what a beautiful song

"Pink Hoodie"
Okayyyy baddie song :GiselleKiss: I think this hip-hoppy song would've fit so much better with the MV, those camo fits especially :wendyscream: LOVE this one

"Flowers" Ok this album is a no-skip so far :JungScream: :ChaeFeels: I love when they make red velvet songs :haerinthumbsup: their vocals are soooo good, karina showed out!

"Just Another Girl"
Me the whole time --> :adanidance:

My ranking of the songs:

1. Flights, Not Feelings - we needed a song like this

2. Pink Hoodie - honestly tied with first, it bops so hard

3. Whiplash - obligated to put the title track high

4. Flowers - loved it

5. Kill It - don't remember it because it was mostly just nct mushrap but I'll learn it eventually

6. Just Another Girl - i still liked it but i just liked the others more

a no-skip album as expected from them <3333
