(I typed this post at 3am. Give me some slack.)
============
This is just a little mini rant/spazz about EXO's full album comeback. Although I might have said something about their comeback in my earlier posts, this is a more detailed one.
To put it out there, I'm actually an anti-SM person... But I do have my likes in SM (sorry, but I'm a STAND. A intense one too). EXO is the first group that I gave my time and interest to. Spending those hours learning twelves names, and their birth names, is not easy--any kpop fan can relate.
SM took freaking one year--more than one year--to have their comeback... .____. Are you friggun serious. Sure, they promoted SHINee and Taemin mostly, but what about EXO? EXO has by far gained an enormous number of fans since Debut Day 1, which is a record. They even became Red Cross Ambassadors! *o*
Their comeback MV isn't "over the roof" interesting, but it is addictive, I must confess. If you are Korean, or you searched up the "eng sub", you'll see that the Korean version of the song is like a parody. In contrast, the Chinese version's lyrics seem much better, and less "child-like". I felt the same way.
Let me show you some examples of the embarrassing translations: Yeah that's right. Embarrassing.
"I’ll take you in one mouthful like cheese."
" It’s [the human] only a one-bite meal."
I mean, sure we don't understand it, and we won't care, but the Korean fans do! If this was an English song, it would be even more ridiculous. SM, marketing is one thing, but making sense in your songs is another. I don't care who is the lyricists fire him/her! Hire me instead! I guarantee, my lyrics would make a whole lot more sense!
Now I may sound a bit arrogant, but it's getting annoying... EXO already looks pretty stupid crawling on the floor and becomes "wolves". I bet Kai is feeling embarrassed too.
Other than that, the entire album is great. I love many of the songs in the album. It has a variety of songs, not just sticking to one genre. Overall, I would give this album a 8/10. I do recommend this album to many, although I'm too poor to buy it myself. LOL But do listen to the full album. It is ear-catching.
