Exo - Overdose

1. Overdose

Exo have finally released there new mini album after weeks of delay. Due to various leaks I had already heard this song before the music video official came out. I love this song.  It's got the excitement of MaMa combined with the slowness of growl to create this piece of perfection. The chorus is great, the break in the music at the start where the music dies down a bit is just perfect. Since this Exo there are two versions of every song. For this song I actually prefer the K version. Something about the M version isn't right. Maybe it's just that Mandarin doesn't suit this song as well it still gets the same score.

K= 5/5 M=5/5

2. Moonlight
This song is slower and the whole album is generally more RnB style then previous albums. For those who like that style you'll like this album more then some of their albums. I don't like this style as much and moonlight is a good example at that. This song is a really nice slow RnB style song if you like that style this is probably great, but I don't and I find this song a bit bland compared to what I've come to expect from Exo. For this song I once again think that the K version is better. It's seems to flow better and have more power that the M version lacks.

K=4/5 M=3.9

3. Thunder
As I've already said, I don't like this style but this song... I can see it growing on me. It's smooth and just more likable then Moonlight. The Thunder, Thunder melts me and the bridge literally perfect. Even listening to it again I can feel myself liking it more. The ooh ooh's are just really nice. As too which group I prefer I think it's a tie.

K=4.8 M=4.8

4. Run

Okay, looking around this doesn't seem to be a popular song.  It's very similar to 3.6.5, which was in their full length album. It's a fun light-hearted song and it's very good at being a light hearted and fun song and I fully enjoy this song.

K=4.5 M=4.5

5. Love Love Love

Similar to Thunder I can see this song growing on me. This song sounds like a cross between Run and Thunder. It has the laid back ness of Thunder but the fun of Run mixed into it. I can also safely say that the M version is better then the K

K=4.6/5 M=4.8/5

 

Overall both versions get 4.6/5

 

[Review] Khalil Fong - Dangerous World

01. Welcome
This track is 7 seconds long. 7 seconds, and it's a guy talking in a creepy tuned voice. That is it.

0/5

02. 危險世界
This was not the song I was expecting after the intro and the album cover but I was pleasantly surprised. I like this song. It seems normal, a rarity in a lot f Japanese music a review. This song is carefree pop song. It's laid back and it's okay.

3.6/5
  
03. Peace  (featuring Tia Ray)
From a casual pop song we are now into an RnB/ hip hop song and it's in near perfect English. It's a bit of a simply song but it's enjoyable. I'm going to be singing 'Peace Love, Living in Harmony all day now'

3.8/5

04. 小方
And it's been mixed up again. This another RnB type of song. It has a really heavy beat and the rapping and singing both fit this song really nicely. It's not my favourite song, but it's okay.

3.4/5
  
05. Soundcheck
This is a break song. I've forgotten what to call these, it's like an intro song but in the middle of the album. It is literally a sound check. It adds nothing to the album at all.

0/5

06. 黑白灰
I like the weird sound of this song. It seems really theatrical with the carnival sounding piano and the clapping as the main beat. It's an interesting song and I' not sure if I like it or not but it's a song I'm going to remember.

3.5/5
  

[Review] Lollipop F - Big Shot

1. What is it
I know virtually nothing about this kind of music. I know lots about Korean and I know a fair bit about Japanese but when it comes to any other music, I know nothing. I was browsing and I found this group and though I would give it a listen to it. I like this first song it's good. The chorus is really catchy

3.7/5

2. Seat
This song is a good pop song. I don't think I have anything else to say about it.

4/5

3. Big Shot
This song is good too, nothing else to add. It has almost everything I want from an dance/pop number. My only complaint is that it's a bit too generic.

4/5

 This album gets a 3.9/5

[Review] Super Junior M - Swing

1. Swing (Korean Version)
This song as such a cool, jazzy vibe and I love it. I love when the chours speeds everything up and they heeyyy eyyyy is just great. My one problem with this song is the dance break which sounds to heavy against the rest of the song and lasts just a tad too long.

4.8/5

2. 飞翔 (Fly High)
This song is awesome. I love the pop-rock of this. It's a song that I'm going to dance around the house too. This song reminds me of the boy groups I used to listen to when I was younger. It's a total feel good song.

4.9/5
