A Moonshine production nearly always means automatic success. “Gimme gimme” is no exception. Opening with Taeyong’s powerful rap, you’re instantly filled half with rage, half with lust. It makes you an addict with the first beat, this spicy disease builds a desire within you to manifest your feelings through dancing and powerful gestures. This demonstrates for example when the members sing “boom” and their voices are boosted by the dubstep laser noise underneath, and together they create a great mighty sound. The beat that carries throughout the whole song (much like in Kick It) is only interrupted during the vocal parts before chorus. Haechan’s and later Jungwoo’s “Loveholic~” parts are cut out off a witchcraft incantation and it’s a shame they don’t last longer. The main beat then returns in the chorus and it’s that familiar sweet feeling we’ve been waiting for. The instrumental dance part is where you can let all your accumulated emotions run free. The song could end in here and none of us would feel like anything’s missing. Instead we get another chorus, this time properly “noisy”, with Taeil’s high note that unfortunately only reminded me of Baekhyun’s vocals in SuperM. It works in “One”, but it’s completely needless in “100″. There isn’t a single person on this planet that doesn’t know that Taeil (or Baekhyun) can hit the high notes, but surely we could utilise their vocals better? Taeil’s part doesn’t serve any purpose and to me it’s actually slightly intrusive.   I can picture the instrumentel version playing in movies with fast cars/crowded parties/badass fighting action scenes, and I would love to see just that. I feel like the beat is so simply done that it just forces you to rock your head from the beginning to the end. After a few days you might forget the lyrics or the melody of the song, but I don’t think I could forget that „pwamm bam bam bam bam bam bam pwammm“. It just stays on your mind.

When I’ve heard it for the first time, I almost immediately got reminded of “Kitchen Beat” and SuperM’s “I Can’t Stand the Rain” and at that moment I knew that this song will not do it for me.  Similarly to “I Can’t Stand the Rain”, it opens with an oriental vibe, but it loses to an overwhelming electronic sounds and chaotic rhythm, which fortunately isn’t nearly as confusing as in “Kitchen Beat”.  Another aspect that I can’t help but focus on, is how the line between rapping and singing is kind of blurred in here. I am a huge fan of those few moments, where rappers sing and singers rap, however when they try to do both at once, it doesn’t seem to work. You only end up with hurried sing-songy lines without clear melody, sacrificing the flow of the whole song just for the sake of a few “cool” foreign words and phrases. When we do get “proper” vocal parts, they seem to be in a rather high key (another similarity with “I Can’t Stand the Rain”, where it was driven to extreme). I would very much like this to be an interlude instead, or maybe just a rap song through and through. The dance break again is on point.  I’ve listened to that song four times within the last twenty minutes and if you’d ask me to sing a part of it, I wouldn’t be able to do it. The melody just isn’t there. Frankly, the only thing I do remember, is Haechan’s “your lipstick got me”, which makes me laugh every time.
