Intro

Oooh, we haven’t had any intros yet. This is super pretty too

I mean… I’m hyped for the album now, so it did its job haha

7/10

To My Friend

Starting in a similar timbre space to the intro

Vocals are mixed really quietly, hard to hear her

Okay, they do raise the vocals, that’s good

I like all of the tones going on, not convinced by the song yet

I appreciate the bass

The harmonies are really pretty, I think they’re used tastefully

6/10

Cat Step

Well I like the title if nothing else

This beat is groovy, much preferred to the first song

Oh, we start out with some rapping! That’s different to our previous groups

Again with the audio mixing! Maybe it’s my headphones, but I’m using the exact same headphones and settings as the previous two groups so I dunno

This song has 231 views which is the lowest I’ve seen so far

Woahh this rap around 1:45 is interesting, background vocals? Samples? Not sure what’s going on here

The only lyrics online are from some French site using romanized korean, so I’m gonna chuck the romanization into ChatGPT and see what it can tell me

According to the ChatGPT translation… this song has nothing to do with cats, aside from one mention of cats in the first verse. This is disappointing.

6/10

Regret

More slow jam

I like the background ambience during the first verse

I don’t care at all for the chorus

Okay, the ending harmonies and melody were nice

6/10

Violet … That’s Meaning

This is gonna be a long album isn’t it

New low of 177 views

5/10

Happy Dream

112 views

I like the cute intro at least

Some nice synth and bass and horns in the background, good instrumentation

I like all of the sounds being used, but the song just ain’t it

Also again with the mixing, this bass feels absurdly loud compared to the rest of it

6/10

Heavenly Vacation

I am a sucker for this style of guitar playing

The harmonies are alright

Omg a fade out

6/10

Just in Time

Very bright vocals

Electric piano and 808

I feel like I would’ve liked a Sugar version of this song lmao

I know I keep using this phrase, but I am just not convinced by Shinvi so far

6/10

Princess in the Castle

A male vocalist, that’s the first for this album so far

5/10

Starry Night

This is a Mamamoo song

I actually really like this intro. What genre is this?

I’m getting chiptune vibes from the hits on the & beats

This is … alright, I guess? I like the instrumentals more than the vocals

I also feel like the exact same song would Slap if it was mixed differently

I don’t buy the pre-chorus at all

6/10

Gift of Sadness

Two songs left, I can do this

5/10

Darling

The beat is interesting

Why does the beat always get less interesting when they start singing?

Probably so I can focus on the lyrics or whatever

I guess trying pretty harmonies at this tempo is vaguely interesting

The bridge(?) is kinda neat

Kind of a weird song to end the album on though. Like … this song had nothing to do with the rest of the album, it felt very thrown in there
