the title track is actually fun and good! everything else is super fucking empty. literally nothing burger, and its an issue aespa has been facing for the majority of their career since deciding to pivot away from their original concept. this just feels like a bad vocaloid album since thats what aespa now amounts to as a group. the beats are basic, and their vocals add absolutely no depth or anything, they're just pitch-corrected vocals that do nothing.

olivia is the most promising out of the "main pop girls" in current times, she breaks her own mold with a breathtaking voice.
i’ll forever love this album but it’s her weakest by so much, the writing feels so off, the writing feels so underwhelming from the songwriting powerhouse that is mitski.
the most gut wrenching live recordings i’ve ever heard. i personally hate the mitski sad girl agenda she’s garnered primarily through tiktok in recent times but she’s just that good at being sad.
(heard live)

i can tell that this was made by a conservative, just the proportion ice to sirup to strawberry puree, it was totally conservative, pride in their work, happy to be at work on a friday night.

i love how childish this is. just the pure energy and personality is so charming. i can see how it can be annoying (specifically with the vocals but it fits the childishness), but it adds to the charm for me. teenage lovers are annoying! the constant layering of instrumental tracks can feel like too much, but it feels like too much specifically when it needs to, that feeling becomes part of the emotions of the song.
theres nothing going on here...?? at all?
we lost the plot 3 years ago and now were in hell. maga-dragon verse was ?? i dont get their obsession with this cheap ass empty unoriginal sound since drama, its not good. go back. their original direction wasnt that special either but atleast it sounded good!
(edit - relisten)
actually i get it. she's been a troll her whole life she'll continue to be a troll. welcome back vroom vroom.

ive been putting off getting into PTV for a while and im so happy that i finally got into them cuz wow this is good. amazing for a debut, cant wait to listen to their other LPs -- ty ana!
if you fully ignore the horrible horrible movie that this is attached to, it’s pretty good.
i really wanted to like this, like really. the choruses are really really week across pretty much all tracks, which just drags the tracks down so much. messaging and lyrcisim is great, loved so many of the verses but then the chorus hit, i expected more :(
