Just A Little Fangirl Love

Release date: 2025 September 1 Album tracklist:  Do What I Want , N the Front, Savior, Tuscan Leather, Catch Me Now, Fire & Ice Album runtime: 19 minutes  I was actually really excited to see them at KCon. They're on my list of groups I want to get into, and now I can identify and put names to most of them. I'm not sure that I can recognize them outside of the context of "Monsta X" but as long as I have that, I think we're good. I think this may also be their first post-military release? We have two weeks until the album comes out, and also, happy tenth, Monsta X! I'm a little late because they're about a week older than Seventeen, but this is the first song they've released in at least a year given that this is my first review for them. Unless I missed one somewhere. Also, they have a pretty big discography and if anyone wanted to send me a song to cover via The Form, that would be great. Oh! That's right! They re-recorded a bunch of songs and...

Release date: 2025 April 19 Album tracklist: Moon Album runtime: 5 minutes  I'm going to put this under ASTRO since it is spearheaded by them/Eunwoo. There is a very long list of contributing artists, and given the nature of what this is, yes, I absolutely am going to list all of them with group members in parentheses with their group: (ASTRO: JinJin, MJ, Rocky, Eunwoo, Sanha), (VIVIZ: Eunbi, SinB, Umji), (Monsta X: Minhyuk, Kihyun, I.M), (Seventeen: Hoshi, Wonwoo, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan), (IMFACT: HELLO GLOOM), (Weki Meki: Yoojung, Doyeon), (SF9: Chani), (Stray Kids: Bang Chan), and (Billie: Moon Sua) . It's a testament to how many people love Moonbin, really, because this is only a fraction. You can hardly go through the group pages of groups that debuted between 2014 and 2019 without finding a member or two who isn't friends with Moonbin. I genuinely don't know what form this review is going to take, but I highly doubt a lot of critical reviewing will take place. I ne...

Release date: 2024 November 22 Album tracklist:  What Would You Do Album runtime: 3 minutes This is his first English single, right? Nice milestone for him to have, and other than an OST that he likely recorded pre-service, this is the thing he's done since being discharged, so congratulations to him for that! I'm glad he's still in the music business after all of that. Most of the instrumentals are dominated by science fiction warbling that is, for the most part, maintained at a single dynamic level, which creates a bit of a wall of sound. I genuinely don't know how much I like the instrumentals. There's a lot happening, and unfortunately the instrumentals hit my brain in just the wrong way. I tried listening to the song using a different output, different speakers, but it didn't change much to what was going on with my brain. It reminds me of when I have two different tabs playing music. I applaud the effort to go for interesting. I really do, but I personally...
