• move
  • UHHHH what is this drip drop-esque sound sir you can't just do that out of nowhere
  • probs my new fave title track of his
  • the lyrics and the choreo are so SENSUAL and the way he pulls it all off ugh he's Powerful
  • the production is very very neat and careful that's how you produce a bop it was kind of minimalistic though but it goes very well with this concept i guess
  • the instrumental was meh, i mean, not much to say about it, and the composition kind of didn't change at all throughout the whole song but hey that's fine let's just say i enjoyed the lyrics and the visuals way more
  • (edit: avtually fuck what i said up there the bass in this song does stuff to me it's got such a good instrumental)
  • his voice was Fine in that bridge really really smooth
• love
  • I GOT THEM CHILLS OHHHH BOY DO I LOVE THIS SONG
  • when i said i was expecting a ballad i didn't actually expect it to be better than soldier damn taemin did THAT
  • the lyrics are so sad and there's ths particular line in the chorus that goes "Love, you trapped me in sadness" idk why i like that one so much
  • ok but HIS VOICE damn son stop getting so good at it and also i need seokjin and or jimin to cver this asap they would sound SO GOOD
  • the instrumental that damn piano sounded so good and also the production towards the End and how they changed it up i love that

  • i'm a love elitist now
• crazy 4 u
  • the high note in "girl" in that bridge YESSSS he owns my ass tonight
  • was not expecting that drop but also lowkey expecting it and it reminded me of drip drop as well i hate myself for saying that lmao
  • it also reminded me of jonghyun??? and it was kind of funny 'cause i realized in the end that OOOOH HE'S SAYING DEJA-VÚ AND CRAZY and those are kind of his songs lmao what an idiot
  • i love it when you can hear the bass in the drop yasss work it

  • ok bitch listen this has got to be the best song in this album if not i'm gonna be MAD i'm so excited for this collab
  • ok so this song has a nice beat and that cheeky guitar in the background is very very nice
  • i really liked the lyrics it kind of felt like they were telling a whole story and i can see them dancing to it
  • ok but once again why is it so short and also it feels like this song will age well i could just play it ten years from now on and i'll still be shocked
  • the voices sound so good together ugh !!! and props to seulgi for those adlibs in the last section of the song bless her
  • composition was Nice and neat and the instrumental had a lot of stuff over there i wanna listen to it again already

  • the lyrics are so pretty i wish i had wrote that
  • the bridge and the last section were a whole blessing the vocals and the instrumental were way too pretty
  • such a lovely song aaaah i can't stop thinking of hoseok why am i like this
  • his pronunciation of the word "rise" is so good king of english
  • i really really really liked this song ok
  • (edit: it's so emotional and so touching, i still feel goosebumps whenever i listen to it, specially in the "calling, calling" part)
• thristy
  • BITCH this is a gay anthem idc it says "girl" right there taemin just gave the gays what they wanted
  • this is the sexuality of move AMAZING
  • the bass was to powerful i must BOP
  • the way he sang the chorus with that voice OH MY GOD u can fuck off taemin tbh
  • a song another bop it's got the best chorus up until now what a song
  • production was amazing, clear and clean, as usual
• stone heart(sus)
  • TAEMIN FOR FUCK'S SAKE YOU CAN'T JUST SWTICH IT UP LIKE THAT YOU'RE GONNA GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK
  • naaah man this is probably gonna be my fave one out of this album i can't belive it made me ascend to another dimension it's just THAT GOOD
  • the lyrics are pretty but that drop??? definitely wasn't expecting that
  • i'm so mad he did that what a man
  • the composition was incredible and the production was great once again AAAA what can't he do
  • (edit: i need to know who did the background vocals for the chorus 'cause damn that girl's got a pretty voice idk if it's seulgi or not)
  • (edit 2: these horns and drums made me a new person this is the best song he's ever released)
• back to you
  • THIS ONE WAS SO PRETTY bless the guitar in the instrumental tbh
  • i thought it was gonna be a fan song but nah oh well STILL the lyrics were AMAZING i really liked them specially the chorus
  • his voice sounded so lovely such a good way to end the album
  • i love the chillness of it and the whole vibe at the start it reminded me of b.a.p's rewind but then nah and mhm it was Pretty alright
  • (edit: i love the "you were the dream i dreamed" lyrics it's so pretty and it holds a lot of meaning to me shut up :( )
• flame of love
  • listen listen hear me out it's got THAT PRETTY INSTRUMENTAL AND THAT PRETTY VOICE AND THOSE PRETTY LYRICS but it just isn't my kind of song idk wat bother me about it lmao
  • the mv was So pretty though as well as the choreo so props for that
  • the production is really nice but it feels like a song that isn't directed towards me ??? or am i missing something ??? meh tbh

OH BOY i've finished it now and OH WELL i'm wigless i wasn't expecting any of this like damn taemin he went off with some of these and honestly i'm so happy i liked it right away that's so so so good

• lyrics: what i don't like about this album is that taemin didn't write any of this shit. i get it, it's beautiful and he's singing it with passion but come on, mate, you could've written at least ONE song. i hope he does write for the next album or whatever !!!
  • fav lyrics: rise
• vocals: he served some REALLY good vocals, he's improved even more since press it so it's nice listening to him being more bold and playing more with his voice. he did a great job and sang them with the right emotions lmao + seulgi did an amazing job as well good for her
  • fav vocals: rise and love
• production: honestly, his producers went off with this album. there's no song i dislike and all of them fit in the vibe of the whole thing, i really liked that. and it had a little variety as well ??? just porps man i don't know how he'll ever top this
  • fav production: crazy 4 u and move
• instrumental/composition: i felt like this album was kind of more piano-centered, in contrast with the last one, wich was more of a guitar sounding son of a bitch. i like that both of them have their own styles and that he can pull them both off so good, what a motherfucker. the beats in this was crazy, i don't even know where to begin with this album, it's just flawless and i can't do it justice.
  • fav instrumental/composition: fav instrumental would have to be love and fav composition would have to be stone heart that song's the shit right there
