vision is giving sci-fi warrior princess…it’s giving dystopia….it’s giving post-apocalypse…it’s giving goddess…it’s giving what the music industry needs…
It’s taken me a few hours to form opinions on Dreamcatcher and Mamamoo’s new songs, but I’m finally done digesting the songs!
Vision might seem a little underwhelming on first listen, but I promise it’s an absolute masterpiece once you’ve got used to it. Everything about it is literally perfect: Siyeon’s ad-libs and high note, JiU’s pre-chorus and Dami’s rap were personally my favourite parts of the song!
Illella is such a good song omg, I knew the second I heard it that I’d love it. It’s not at Bazooka or First levels of love, but it’s definitely the closest a song this year has come. RBW are on thin ice for removing the dance break from the released version on streaming platforms. Their vocals compliment each other so well, I’d forgotten how perfectly Mamamoo went together as a group after quite a long break.
Vision- amazing love it, its so guitar heavy which I love in a title track
Fairytale- It's literally so fresh and different but still fits their discography well? My favorite bside
Some Love- reminded me of a less bright version of airplane? Very fun and the lyrics were v sweet
Rainy Day- sounds like a drama ost, I love the rain sounds, the piano, how slowly more instruments are added, liked it a lot
The Intro: Chaotical X and Outro: Mother Nature were nice instrumentals and both had surprising lil moments like the siren at the end of the intro. Both eerie in different ways, really liked them but they're not my favorite.
Overall the album felt very cohesive? It felt like it went from dark and heavy to brighter and more hopeful and maybe a lil melancholy. I guess they structure a lot of their mini albums like that but this one reminds me of Summer Holiday, like all the songs fit together very well.
playing fallout new vegas and having to listen to caesar complaining about travelling and getting to study the languages of various communities living in the wasteland and calling it a waste of time while irl the humanities are constantly disregarded and getting a higher education and opportunities to study anthropology hands-on costs tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars and requires so many connections and he was just getting that FOR FREE from the followers but that wasnt cool enough for him so he decided to use the education he was given to start his little fascist larper group and enslave people
my once in a blue moon process video i actually like (for this). also a steps breakdown so i can try to mitigate the death of actual useful information that i think the short form video format has been ushering in
