FTISLAND- Take Me Now

This song is EPIC!!! I've been FTISLAND's for awhile now, and I love the direction that they have been going in since Pray. Pray definitely had a more rock and roll vibe to it, which I totally love, and I'm pleased that they are continuing on that rock and roll track. I love their old music, but I honestly believe that their new songs are just so much better and that have risen to a whole new level. Their music has evolved beautifully and I'm impressed with this song.

The video itself was pretty artsy and interesting to watch. The beginning of the video kind of gave me a shock. All the glitching and static sounds made me think that there was something wrong with my computer or my headphones. However, I was relieved that it was neither and it was all just the editing of the video. I love the lighting that they used during the video. the use of the different lightings, like the florescent lighting, red lighting, and the darker more natural lighting of the fire. It added variety and interest to video. The glitched throughout the video, like the white flashes and just plain glitches, I found kind of annoying. At the start of the song, the frame changes at the beginning of the song, before the vocals, were very fitting and they matched the music. Those changes I accepted. however the white glitches didn't really fit in and were a constant part of the video, that were frustrating.

I'm surprised by the large amount of English that they have in their lyrics in this song. I looked up the lyrics after watching the video and I found that a majority of the lyrics were English. It was kind of cool to have FTISLAND sing in mostly English, but I kind of wished that they sang in mainly Korean. Some of the pronunciation I found a bit awkward and I honestly think it with Korean lyrics, though I do find their attempt to be spectacular.

The instrumentals in the song was better than I ever heard FTISLAND play. The guitar riffs between vocal parts were phenomenal, but in general the guitar parts are really good. The drum part during the verses also added a nice, natural glitch-like sound. The blending were also really great and I totally love the full sound that they were making.

In general, this is my favorite song that FTISLAND has released thus far. I'm really looking forward to their album, Where's the Truth?. I read on other websites that the whole album is a direct response to rumors and I find that really interesting. Anyway, I hope that FTISLAND continues to make such amazing music in the future and I honestly can't wait to see what they come out with next. So.. um... yeah...

Produce X 101- Final Ranking

So, I was actually able to watch the entire finale. I'm still going to hold off on writing anything about the actual show portion of this episode until english subtitles are released. That being said the group name is X1. It's sweet and simple and basically sums up the premise of this season. Now onto the rankings. My current top 11 are: 1. Cho Seung Youn 2. Lee Han Gyul 3. Han Seung Woo 4. Keum Dong Hyun 5. Hwang Yun Seong 6. Kim Yo Han 7. Song Yu Vin 8. Song Hyung Jun 9. Son Dong Pyo 10. Nam Do Hyun 11. Lee Jin Hyuk I know I already changed my list from literally yesterday. I honestly happy with whatever the final ranking is as long as Cho Seung Youn and Han Seung Woo get in. If Lee Han Gyul get in, that's an extra bonus. I truly wish that all of the guys could debut in X1, which obviously is not going to happen. Anyway, onto the official rankings. 1. Kim Yo Han When they told us 1st place was down to Kim Woo Seok or Kim Yo Han, I was not surprised. I th...

Produce X 101- Position Evaluation

I love position evaluation. I think it gives the rappers a chance to really shine when they usually have to showcase singing or dancing. It also gives us epic performances such as Shape of You and "Michoji" from Season 2. Either way it allows people to really showcase their talents. The introduction of the X position definitely added interest. I think it is definitely very important for the trainees to be able to both sing and dance at the same time or rap and dance at the same time, since that is what they are going to be doing as an idol. Vocal Position Twit by Hwasa I love how this song was not like the typical ballad type songs to showcase their singing. Their harmonies were amazing and I loved it. Lee Hyeop did really well and I think it was great that he was finally able to showcase his singing ability. Jeonghwa also really stood out with his strong voice and cool stage presence. The performance overall was very captivating and I was really impressed and liked...

Lucy- Panorama

So fucking psyched about this album! I listened to the all the teasers and all of them sounded amazing. Based off of the mini-album highlight medley, I was most looking forward to Straight Line with Flare being second. Honestly though, just from the teasers alone I knew that this mini-album was gonna be right up my alley.  Just a quick heads up I had half of this post written on August 13th, which was a lot closer to when the mini-album came out than now. Not gonna lie, I don't regret putting it off. I still am in love with this album, and Lucy is still releasing content regarding this mini-album on their Youtube channel. I know they released lyric videos for all of these songs, which include the Korean lyrics and the English translations. They also released a commentary on the album with English subs which is just so interesting. They showed the production process as well as the meanings behind each song and the album as a whole. So, please check them out! It's so cool that t...
