the fool you need

All in all THE WORLD EP FIN: WILL was a B and GOLDEN HOUR was a B+!!!! They weren’t bad but my standard for Ateez has been so high because their earlier music was just so good and they’re still good but I’m not used to the change in direction. They’re eating down though!!!! And I can’t wait to scream these songs with them <3 

SIREN WAS RAW OUT THE GATESSSSS!! *kratos voice* JOONGIIIIIIIIIIIII lmbooo “I don’t wait I’m coming out roughly, prison”???? CAUSE LIKE HE BUSTIN OUT NOT WAITING HIS TURN AND SO HES COMING OUT ROUGHLY BUT WHEN HITTAS GET OUT THE CLINK THEY BE ROUGH AND TOUGH CAUSE OF LIFE BEHIND BARS DO YALL HEAR HIM??????? The clinking beat with the whistles and that carnival sound and winding bubble sounds, YEOSANG’S SIREN VOICE IN THE PRE CHORUS!!!, the auto tune, mingi doing his zuho, and the mix of trappy edm per usual. The four person tag team for that spicy part??? Yessssirrrrrr. She was so fun y’all.

          End notes : joongi’s laugh kajdiahdksjfisndjd aahhhhhhh the screaming I did while listening to this song is outrageous. The slow wine backyard party vibe in the first half was beautiful though omg that should’ve stayed the vibe tbh 

EMPTY BOX is so good yet so mid :((( the overuse of English is dragging it down for me but I love the “I’ll never miss you” soooo much it’s so pretty. YUNHO BEST VOCALIST AWARD WHEN???? no but he did his thing on this oneee. And joongi and mingi equally bodied this one yessss. It’s generic poppy “rnb”  overall but it’s nice bgm and the lyrics???? We cheered.

          End notes : I could’ve used a lot more flavor but the lyrics were nice and it was cute in a sad way so we move 

MATZ is a 9.6 we already know I love that song they literally ended all rappers’ careersssssss I love it!!!!
          
          ITS YOU is a 9 they also ate down horrendous and they gave us rnb realness!!!!

DREAMY DAY is getting soft skipped bc I’m not in the mood for cutie happy music rn MIAN!!! It sounds okay but it probably wouldn’t make it into my rotation anyway if I’m being real. Also feels a teeny tiny bit out of place on the grown and smexy album at least genre wise but bump it we ball.
