The album could be 40 mins of just that hook and it'd be album of the year. God damn. Red Light is so good. I'd say the only weak track is Summer Lover and even then it's not horrible. I love how different some of these songs are, like Rainbow, Spit It Out and Boom Bang Boom, I feel like we don't hear a lot of songs like those these days.

I agree with Dice. Red Light the album wants to be a badass bitch but it turns out to be a mildly annoying teenager who's just venting out against a wall instead of kicking everyone's ass and taking names.
Will listen more though before I give proper judgement, but so far, that's the feeling I'm getting from it.

Do you know when they're going to air that Chinese variety show "The Strongest Group" that they filmed back in June?

Didn't know that, the album is finally out now on iTunes, I'm happy because Butterfly is as good as I've hoped, worth my 1,29€!
No idea... I think is not announced yet. Would be nice to be on late July or early August....

Crayon Pop′s Agency Chrome Entertainment Becomes a Distribution Label with Sony Music Entertainment Korea

I've been reading the reactions to Babymetal's London concert on twitter. They've won over a lot of diehard metal fans who have had no interest in any asian pop act.

It's better than Pink Tape tbh
The weak tracks on Pink Tape are definitely worse than the weak tracks on Red Light. Feels like a better album overall, although there are some really high points on Pink Tape.

[Teaser] Park Ji Yoon (박지윤 _ Yoo hoo(유후
On my only listen so far, I like Red Light more than Pink Tape. I've never liked Pink Tape as much as Electric Shock. Even now I can play ES beginning to end, sometimes on loop, which I've never quite wanted to do as much with PT.
Summer Lover has to be the weakest song, and Spit it Out sounds like it should be a better track. Dracula isn't clicking for me on first listen, leaving the second half of RL feeling not as solid as the opening ~5/6 songs.
Even so, Paper Heart has that nice f(x) closer feel to it, though no where near as good as Let's Try.
A few more plays, then.

You and Dice are in the wrong here, bro. It's stil got that playground lightness to it that keeps it fresh and not just another dirty dance album. The songs still bounce from those f(x)-y talk rap verses to big pop choruses.

That's how I would describe Pink Tape, but I'm really not feeling the pop-ness from Red Light outside of Paper Heart. In trying too hard on one end it lost the tunes that drive its pop core. So you end up with weak tunes, weak attitude, stale SM harmonies, SM conservatism in ambiance and V shape mixing, and slapdash experimental song construction that doesn't succeed in components well enough to transcend the lack of direction, thus guiding focus back on the attempted-exotic yet ultimately static, weak, and tiring beats.
Edit: Actually, going back to Pink Tape now, I wouldn't say that, it's better than that.

I would have chosen industrial than urban, but yeah, the albums is great.
Dracula feels like a title track, but i think there have been a few vampire themed titles in the last year, and they probably wanted to avoid that. (And they'd have to do better than sunmi's choreo, and, well... krystal / sulli).
Red light is a great title track and a great album. The only song I don't like is Vacance. I do feel like some of the songs are a bit out of place (All night after Rainbow?), but in general I think I'm going to enjoy this album as much as Pink Tape.
The only thing that f(x) is missing at this point for being the all around best group is some decent choreography. If you don't want to make Sulli do some elaborated choreography, just throw a choreography full of cool looking moves like the Electric Shock intro or this:

6muses with the heart attack version of happy birthday.

Not a fan of the new direction of C-clown, but the song is not bad.

I think Dracula is the best Kpop song of 2014.

I guess we won't have to wait 4 years this time.
Ha, those are probably my 3 favourites! I like those 3, Dracula, Red Light, Milk, All Night and Butterfly. I think I prefer it to Pink Tape overall but my knowledge of music theory is crap compared to someone like Dice so I can't articulate exactly why I like it more. More danceable, I guess? Hmm.
Unrelated but: No No Eul or whoever ends up kindly volunteering to create the end-of-year survey, please add a section for Bias List Ruiner Of The Year so I can write-in Yuna. Loci knows what's up. This set is a recent favourite of ours:

Even when you take the drop out of it, it's still beaten by the two mv's g.o.d have released over the last week. Sky Blue Promise is smooth as hell (been on constant play around here) and Saturday Night's MV feels a bit like Psy's before he started recycling Gangnam Style (more fun over lolrandom).

Really hope Roommate does not turn into a "invite guest over, sends out the feels" show. What was said in the last two episodes was interesting and all.... don't think I want to watch that every week. And I figured they would do the typical summer vacation episode eventually, seems like we get it next week. Overall the show became way more "structured" all of a sudden in the last 2/3 episodes lol, like not even trying to hide it, might end up breaking my irrational love of it.
Oh and while I like Red Light... that is a straight up intro song, everything about it screams intro. I will never figure out why some producers think intro songs are good singles to headline stuff but w/e.

I think that's the plan
Maybe the rommates are not interesting enough to deliver new stories every week lol
I love the front and back cover for the "Sleepy Cat" edition of Red Light. Should have been the digital cover too tbh.
Haven't purchased a Kpop album in a couple of years but this is tempting. The photo book has some awesome looking shots in there. Kind of broke after splurging on the SARAM12SARAM limited LP edition though
