Aespa's Armageddon is extremely disappointing...

Su Su Su Supernova

Totally agree. It's also really disappointing with how SM is managing Red Velvet too. For example "Chill Kill" was full of fantastic songs but the lack of promotion stunted it's potential to reach more people. Especially since the title track didn't catch the general public, the rest was more or less forgotten 😭

Actually, Mine could have been an amazing song if they doubled the curious. licorice is my favorite song from the album that seems to stick. For future albums, I really want SM to move forward with songs that emphasis Winter's & Ningning's spectacular Vibratos.

what makes aespa unique is their tech style (girls, black mamba, illusion, Savage, menagerie, Supernova...) sick songs decent genre (spicy, saltysweet, wake up, 2hot4u, set the tone to licorice....) ok but average genre (better things, forever, drama, lips, longchat to melody....)

[@Fds-wk9eu]

Good work man. I would agree with that first comment; outside of title tracks and pre-release/promoted singles (welcome to my world, illusion, supernova) it's rare to find a great bside in aespa's discography. I also much prefer their darker or more rnb songs like "I'll make you cry" and "Lucid dream" over the plethora of boring generic pop songs they release.

[@Sohnee]

"I'll make you cry" is honestly a perfect aespa song

[@nonpracticinggay]

I wish SM gave them more songs like Hold On Tight, they did a great job with this one, it suits them well

I loved the first 6 songs on the album but then when Bahama ended the rest was a skip for me

[@A7X_10]

I agree. I love Aespa but their b sides are pretty meh compared to the title tracks. I didn't like any song besides Illusion from Girls. But it didn't bother me as it seemed like they were just exploring different genres. My world wasn't bad. But Drama, it's gotta be the worst for me😬 Savage overall is still their best album imo. I actually really like Licorice. It's kinda unique and fun. But Long Chat and Bahama just don't do it for me

[@tofujordi]

i rated this album a 9/10. i do think the album lacks consistently, but i don't think licorice, bahama, or long chat are the problem. for me its live my life and prologue. long chat sounds at least more fun and has crunchy synths and still feels very alien sounding even though its a cutesy nice track. i don't think it's fair to say the entire album has to be all "dark". for me, i picture the album as alien invasion, takeover, psychedelic trip into realizing the beauty of earth, friendship (licorice-long chat) and then prologue, live my life, and melody are back to earrth. i HAAATE prologue and live my life so much because thats where i'm like "how is this aespa?" bahama and long chat still feels like aespa songs for me because of the production value, and hearing them do songs like that before (better things, hot air balloon, life's too short). however i think melody is a great closer for this album as it feels very comforting and earthy after being in alien land for a bit lol. and the song itself has nice music and melodies. i think consistency is a valid issue, but i personally only think this applies to prologue and live my life, which is only 2 songs on the album. if those songs were out of it, or the production was different it would be a 10/10!

[@Sohnee]

I did enjoy Bahama as well, but to me, it felt it was purely included for the sake of giving Aespa a summer track since they probably won't release anything else during the rest of the summer. That's why I felt like they should've just done it as a single later in the summer. I agree that not all the album has to be "dark" as long as the themes stay consistent. I love ballads as endings of Kpop albums so for me melody really saved the last half of the project.

[@tofujordi]

@@Sohnee i get that! i cant complain about it though bc its in my top 3 of the bsides for this album haha.

The problem with aespa b-sides is that the girls want to show their colors by doing different styles of music but it just does not work. Cause their concept is IRON, according to knetz. Aespa are my ults, the only K-pop group that differentiates themselves from others and is the most unique, however, the girls need to understand we love their aespa sound. We stan aespa for their concept. They have plenty good b-sides: all of savage b sides are better than most main releases of other big groups, illusion, wtmw, salty and sweet, I'm unhappy, don't blink, trick or treat, yolo, mine, licorice, set the tone, bahama. I feel like they need to understand that as a group, they need to do aespa sound we all love and keep their taste in music for their solo releases cause a group is a group for a reason.

[@yudistirafathurrahman1472]

I think its have to do with their next tour too , bcs they need new set list. They already sang all their songs in the previous tour. Thats why they need variety of genres in their album.

"savage b sides are better than most main releases of other big groups" beyond false even within their company every group besides them has pretty consistent and objectively great b sides
