E-X-O is back with a total of 4 songs (2 depending on how you look at it): Lucky One (Korean Version), Lucky One (Chinese Version), Monster (Korean Version), and Monster (Chinese Version). I really like both of their songs and I find them both to be EXO's style. I also love the idea of having double title tracks. It makes my viewing process more interesting since I now have more videos to watch, and wouldn't want to see more of our oppas. However it gets me confused on how this would work in music shows. Their new logo is thankfully super simple, I love how I can easily type it, e)(o. I'm seriously satisfied, like no joke.
Lucky One was very enjoyable to watch. I absolutely LOVE how they incorporated their power from before. It was a lot more interesting watching the video by trying to see when each one uses their superpower. It brings me back to their debut days which makes me happily nostalgic. I find the story of the video entertaining as well. There's like some organization that kidnaps EXO and then performs experiments on them and gives them their powers. EXO then tries to escapes and they use their powers to do so. But is it me or is Yixing totally flirting with one of the workers, like he gives her a flower and that LOOK. He seriously needs to stop wrecking my bias list. Seriously, this entire video I was obsessing over Lay and I feel like I'm betraying Baekhyun, since he is my EXO bias. Maybe I was just make Lay my bias instead. -.- I CAN'T DECIDE! The song itself reminded me strongly of Love Me Right. It has that sort of synth and groovy sort of feel to it that makes it amazingly catchy. I was slightly disappointed by the lack of dancing. The only dance part was when Jongin danced in the middle of the hallway when he was cornered, which is kind of... awkward. Anyway Monster made up for the lack of dancing in Lucky One.
I enjoyed the dancing very much in Monster, especially the beginning. I loved the song as well. It was had a nice beat and was definitely had a great build up to the chorus which was absolutely fantastic. The video was... interesting. There are some editing and effects that just are sort of weird. They had that weird pixelated thing that happens with Chen's scene right before the first chorus, and Lay's scene in the middle of the first chorus. The weird flashing thing in the second verse and bridge kind of hurt my eyes. And I couldn't help to notice that one of the sets that they dance in was in B.A.P.'s One Shot, I can bet money on that. I'm not complaining about that though cause that set is great I find it entertaining to spot the same spot in different dramas and music videos. There is also a slight problem that I have with the lyrics. If you watch the Chinese version it says in the lyrics, "She got me gone crazy". What? When I listen to them sing it sounds like "She got me going crazy" which is more grammatically correct, though I believe it should be made "She's got me going crazy". On a totally unrelated note, Baekhyun totally wins back my heart in this video. <3
Anyway, I love the new songs and the new videos. I am slightly sad that EXO didn't make those slight changes in the different language videos, like the did before. With Monster and Lucky One, you only see the same thing basically instead of getting a polar side of the story like in Overdose and History, or the other side of the story in Mama and What is Love. I can't wait to the other songs in their album and if any of the other songs are like these two then I will be satisfied. So.. umm... yeah...
