Don't listen to the other review. Green is nice, maladroit is better, ss2k contains everything amazing left off of both. They're all very different projects, and they're all good ones.
If this is the new sound, I'm ready to turn back the clock. The lyrics are juvenile and don't amount to anything worthwhile. The singing is also particularly dreadful. A redeeming quality is the instrumentation. It gets a 44.
EDIT: I relistened to this twice. It sounded better the second time (47) and worse the third. 46. An instrumental version might push high 70s or low 80s.
Best: Bongo Season
Worst: The Magician
44--->46
You're at a new job and getting your training, watching a demonstration video corporate thought would help you along. It's so boring that your mind is somewhere entirely different. As you daydream, you recount your life experiences, and you wonder how they coalesced to make you who you are. As a matter of fact, who are you?

I get that this is a rehash of old material, but that doesn't matter to me for my reviewing and listening purposes. This is good. The beats are interesting and the lyrics are cool. It has these really interesting interludes that work and to me don't suggest that this is a Frankenstein of earlier projects.

Don't rate singles on here but this is Korean city pop, if such a thing exists. very special song
Leagues beyond almost everything in the genre, and really meaningful lyrics which is not overtly common in kpop
No, it's not good. I'm not going to say otherwise for the sake of being contrarian. But this is by far and away the closest Onision got to music and that needs to be written somewhere.
Incredibly enjoyable, and so ahead of its time. Look through other "Chipmunk Soul" records. Wtf is that genre, if not for this?
