Has a good start but in the middle of the album, the songs dont really grab you as much. Still questioning the album title bruh.
way to kill the mood with putting a boring ballad at the end. It was going so well with the consistency of bumpy instrumentals. Lyrics mid, Crazy is just copy and paste chorus, nothing experimental with sound and lyrics, just playing it safe bruh. pierrot is solid tho gets too repetitive, the little opera bit was cute though. but overall the whole album is okay?
Great opener and great finisher, some fillers though its doesn't pull you out. I love her vocals esp in mercurial world. prod goes harddd
really like the production, and the overall vibe
update 75->85 (nov 6)
This album's sound stays consistent, production holds up and gosh it stays in theme, I love her authentic vibe and her soft vocals, tho some songs the vocals get overtaken by the production but it doesn't pull you out of it. This was definitely a grower and I really enjoy it more noow.
i love how theres two tracks where its just slows down and gets really real and then the next song is straight back to bopping. every song really fits the club theme from a brat's perspective. Really well done (peak storytelling and bopping)
how sweet is just so lacklustre, going on the repetitive trend again with the chorus which makes the song so weak, and sadly it doesn't go anywhere. bubble gum is cute but simple. i hope newjeans leaves this repetive singing line loop and their producer takes more risks with the production
birds of a feather is so nice ahhh billie really showed off her vocals here, I love to hear her belt and stray from her soft tones. The lyricism feels more straightforward then her previous albums. I really enjoy this change of sound, truly a great album
it took a couple listens tho at first there were some songs that hooked me instantly. The production on this is a chefs kiss, gosh its magnificent. Blends so well with her voice. Once I understand how these songs correlate with the album's title, this will definitely go up more, for now its sits very damn high.
Such a fun album, production could've been better but her vocals really saved this
78-> 80 (still iffy with the production but its so catchy its a great pop album)
sigh this was so boring, production boring like reallly boring,
Without the film, the album is charming. with the film, the album is confusing. Production better this time but it lyrics lack. you'd expect with a title k-12 it would be an album about whats going in in specific years, but its just a bunch of random stuff that barely holds together. cute aesthetic though, once again a nice visual album, just needs better storytelling
This really is a visual album, without the MVs it wouldn't hold up as much. She could've done better with production and lyrics. Some songs were weaker, like you can tell which has effort and which doesn't. This project was ambitious though, I liked the story she was portraying. A good start up for this character. It feels amateurish sometimes, mainly because shes just starting out and wants to bring out the most, she just doesn't know how yet. I really like the concept too, though the 'tag ... read more
;/ im finding a trend of their title tracks reaching the final chorus and having no umph.
