I’ve never really enjoyed Stray Kids… and I wouldn’t really say my opinion changed on this album.
Something I don’t really do is use my time to review something I see as bad or average when it comes to any type of media. It feels like a waste of space for me to give negative comments on a platform where my opinion doesn’t matter in the grand scheme. I only really mention this album for one reason since there is not really anything significant about it in general.
The song Venom from this project is the only time I got goosebumps from a mainstream Kpop song. Not because it’s breathtaking or scary but that stuttering lazer sound is a cool ass gimmick. The track sounds smooth yet I feel claustrophobic listening to it, stemming from the weird ass beat. The rapping is solid and compared to most Stray Kids songs it doesn’t come off as a lyrical miracle type of style. Stray kids never struggled to seem natural in rapping but my gripe with stray kids which also is in this song is that their vocalists are incredibly bland. But thank fuck that atleast works for a song that sounds like a walking coffin (in a good way). 7+/10
Anyway everything from there is dog shit and Maniac is eh. 2/10
