Oddinary

Damn, you know what I really like about Stray Kids right now? The fact that they don't sit down seriously to write a whole full-length album, but just drop pure EPs that I can listen through in 20 minutes in between studying for my exams and actually write a decent review (so that afterwards, I can avoid touching kpop at all for another few years, except for legends like PSY or BIGBANG).

Many people might disagree with me, but I consider ODDINARY to be literally the end of Stray Kids' prime. For me, that’s where they ended as a worthwhile band. That’s where all the originality in their lyrics and sound stops. All the subsequent albums just became slop that I cannot and will not even try to take seriously.

Of course, this is where that pretty annoying thing already starts, where there’s this song made specifically to get stuck in your head, and it sounds absolutely hideous in the chorus. For me, "Maniac" is that song here. The chorus is disgusting and pisses me off to the max, which is why it's the worst track here for me, even though it's an obvious banger. But even this song can't compare to all the absolute crap Stray Kids would release afterwards. That stuff is a total nightmare, and I don't want to get my hands dirty with it anymore (mind you, I did try).

Best tracks: Muddy Water, Lonely St.
Worst tracks: Maniac, Waiting For Us
