Infinite); Those Times; Tree Album runtime: 46 minutes  Once again, everyone say thank you to the algorithm that I built brick by brick. I would not have known about this without it. And since it's the month of the Spookening, I'm very interested in this song based on the title alone. Also, I find it a little funny that he has a song on this album called "P.O.V" and another called "View". I also find it a little adorable that there's actually an Infinite song in this album. And I like the cleverness of the album artwork. This is a bit of a slinky and sultry song. The beat isn't particularly heavy, but it's smooth in a way that reminds me of whiskey in a smoky bar with glittering diamonds and silks. Very upscale place, this song is. It's heavy ...

 It's not that I delayed this on purpose, but I needed to settle from the 3/10 star weekend I had at the beginning of the month. Sixty hours of stress, anxiety, and frustration. I will also never be going back to El Paso. NU'EST could literally come back and do a single concert, only in El Paso, and I would not go back. I would be begging Aron to add literally any other stop, but I would not be going back to El Paso. The city hates me. The people are lovely, but like I said. 3/10 stars. One of those stars was the pizza I got, because wow that was delicious. Okay, debut time. Group debuts I covered: KEYVITUP , hertz.wav , MODYSSEY , UNCHILD . Soloists who debuted that I covered: Somin (APRIL/KARD) , ALL'N , Kangin (Super Junior) , Vari (NINE.i) . Songs I was looking forward to: TOP (BIGBANG): TOP IS BACK, BABY! KickFlip: I was a little shaky with them on debut, but they have since won me over strongly. I like these kids. TOMORROW X TOGETHER: Do they get songs of a decent len...

Release date: 2026 March 02 Album track list:  When I think about you , Over It , Dreaming, Portrait, Answer, When I think about you (Inst.) Album runtime: 15 mi nutes  Am I finally getting around to the actual title track after having the pre-release finished for weeks? Yes. Yes, I am. But, better late than never. Also, this is four-and-a-half minutes of song and I love him for that. We have an acoustic guitar heavy in the front row of this instrumental, which we do get separately and I'm very happy about that as well. But I was in the middle of basking in the watery chimes when the violin kicked in, and my attention swiveled to wake up from the lull that the rest of this gorgeous instrumental put me into. This instrumental is magnificent and soothing and has a very clear build up to the climax of the song.  His voice is incredible. Hey, if anyone wants to submit one of his songs for a GH or BBS post, I am not going to be mad because do you hear this? Thank you, second g...

Album runtime: 15 mi nutes I was looking ahead at the March comebacks and releases so I can get them added to my planner, and I recognized one of the names as someone who dropped a song in February, which means that this was a pre-release, which means I'd like to cover it before doing the title track. I really like the word "which" apparently. It turns out that he is the leader of INFINITE and my expectations raised a lot. First, he's a second gen idol. If you've been around this long, then you'd better have the skills to warrant that longevity, and he debuted as a soloist in 2012. Second, it's INFINITE. They're one of the reasons why K-Pop today has the standards for synchronization that they do, and that's on top of their vocal skills. Third, I expect a lot from leaders because the good ones rise to the occa...

Release date: 2025 December 12 Album tracklist:  Asteroid , 한 걸음 더 가까이, DIVE Album runtime: 9 minutes  Another of the YouTube recommendations my algorithm gives to me. Huh. I wonder if I could write a parody of Twelve Days of Christmas on my YouTube algorithm. Anyway, sorry. You already know that he's a member of INFINITE because of how I title these reviews, but this was news to me when I looked him up. I also found out his younger brother is also in a K-Pop group, Golden Child, which is delightful to learn. So, because he's a second gen idol, I have expectations for his capability. This song is the shortest of the three, but the average is good because the middle song is almost four minutes. But! This is his solo debut, fifteen years after his debut with INFINITE, so I'm very curious about what he's going to give us. My favorite instrumental triumvirate is here for this song: guitar, drums, piano. Is it a basic combination? Yes, but there's nothing wrong with a cl...

Release date: 2025 March 06 Album track list: Heat it Up, Dangerous , Way you are, Umbrella, Sad Loop , Where U R, Dangerous (Inst.) Album runtime: 23 mi nutes  I've seen some clips from their stage performances for this song, mostly the endings, but this is also INFINITE. I have high expectations for the group. Second gen powerhouse that debuted at the tail end when there was a sudden uptick in the number of groups debuting in a year, they've survived a lot and continue to thrive. And also, on principle, it's good and healthy for the industry to keep the older idols going rather than disbanding or retiring them because they aren't young and novel any more. You'll remember that I loved Sad Loop when it was released last year. Well, let's hope that they can do it again. Also, keep in mind that that run time includes a track that's only a minute long. One of the songs ( Umbrella ) is almost five minutes long. Glorious. This is what I like to see. And there...

Release date: 2025 March 06 Album track list: Heat it Up,  Dangerous , Way you are, Umbrella,  Sad Loop , Where U R, Dangerous (Inst.) Album runtime: 23 mi nutes  I was about to be disappointed that this was a single-track single, but then I realized they've been sparse on the releases since they returned from military service (I'm assuming based on the fact that they're a boy group and there's a four year gap). So two singles in the space of a year is better than nothing. They're busy. They've got things they're doing. At least they're still putting things out as a group so the fans don't completely panic. Also, I just really like that they're a second gen group and still releasing music fourteen later. Those are boy group goals. The instrumentals have some cute little upticks with the synth in places, little whoops that help to ease the poignancy of the piece. But otherwise, we've got a soft rock ballad here overflowing with emotion. It...

  Release date: 2024 August 05 Album tracklist: Intro, What's Not To Love , Blue Summer, My Universe, Talk To You, What's Not To Love(Inst.) Album runtime: 18 minutes The little I've heard of INFINITE, I've liked. I don't think I could name any of their songs off the top of my head, but I'm sure that if I checked my one playlist, I'd be able to find one or two. They are in the sweet-spot for the groups I like best, after all.  The guitar is lovely. It taps into the country music lover in me. And a harmonica? Could there be instrumentals more keyed specifically for me to love them? Go ahead and read that with Chandler's voice. You have my permission. The song is chill and mellow and lovely easy listening. My grandmother, if she was alive, would probably have absolutely adored this song. Who needs complicated synth and fifteen different instruments when this is fantastic simplicity? I'm surprised that this is the title track because it seems a little ...
