Day6 'The Book of Us: Entropy' Album First Listen (Part 3)

[@icecrepegg1225]

One of the reasons this album works is because Day6 has strong vocalists. Like ALL of them. This album is so demanding on vocals I don't think they would've been able to pull this off otherwise.

[@Rimespire]

I forget this sometimes because they play the instruments so well! I just can't imagine anyone else but them to perform their songs. MyDay☆

[@margaret5726]

100% agree. DAY6 songs would be so much duller if their vocalist weren't so unique from each other. One of the reasons why I love the band so much is how varied their vocalists are. Several members have such appealing timbres that makes certain parts of songs even more impactful. Which is why I can't imagine any of the members being dispensable.

Book of Us: Entropy is a distinctive album because of the thematic flow. Although it is the most audibly diverse album of theirs, it shows careful deliberation in placement which makes for an especially effective listen. One of my critiques with DAY6 has been that their albums feel like a showcase of individually strong tracks which don't necessarily complement each other too well. The album is split in part A (tracks 1-6) and B (7-11); A represents falling in love, while B represents falling out of love. We start with Deep in Love highlighting the beginning of something deeper. Sweet Chaos describes how one's life gets thrown out of balance after falling in love. Emergency captures the visceral symptoms and breathlessness one feels whenever you approach their love. Rescue Me describes how that person is essential to saving one in a cruel world. 365247 is about the sensual side of love. These are 5 energetic tracks coloring love's passion, so About Now's mellowness and simplicity comes as a much needed breather. It highlights the quieter routine of an established love. But this is where the album starts turning, because the lyrics emphasize distance: are you doing alright, when I'm not there? Side B begins off Ouch, which captures how one gets hurt from tensions and arguments in a relationship. Not Fine expresses the anxiety that their love is deteriorating. Stop Talking is about when one is told from others that the relationship is toxic, but they don't want to hear it. Not Mine couples the meaning of Deep in Love and Not Fine together: that one is deep in love, but it's one sided. Like a Flowing Wind is a spiritual successor to You Were Beautiful or Letting Go: reminiscing on a now gone relationship as if a breeze flowing past your fingertips. Like About Now, it fills a more mellow space after 4 charged tracks capturing the painful part of love. Your point about it sounding the most familiarly DAY6 of the songs is intentional, since after basically a whole album of completely distinct sounds than what we're used to from the group, it helps overcome a bit of the overwhelming sentiment we might be feeling. As you can see, the songs effectively transition into capturing the roller-coaster which is love. Entropy is a scientific concept that describes the tendency of stable things to go into disorder. Gravity is a scientific concept describing two forces being pulled together. In their previous album, Time of Our Life was the thematic link to gravity, but BOU:G as a whole was introspective. In BOU:E, not only does Sweet Chaos serve as the thematic link to love as an entropic force (going from stability to disability), but the whole album does. I am in agreement with your overall point. They've outdone themselves and released a masterpiece. How they managed to do so only a 100 days after their last comeback, and while on an active world tour...it's a testament to their incredible talent. Their vocals were stunning, even more so than usual. There were so many interesting musical choices made in nearly every song that I'm discovering more depth on further listens. Thank you, thank you, thank you DAY6!

[@joystanay]

@@margarete5920 comment of the year! I couldn't have worded it better. They really went experimental in this album and unsurprisingly, it all worked and the songs are SO AMAZING. As expected from Day6, there are no bad songs in this lineup. And it truly is an adventure, hearing a different sound each time. But Like A Flowing Wind, ahhhh... like you said, it's home. It was so fitting to end an album with a track that sounds very much like Day6.

[@ohyouaremyday]

@@margarete5920 YES. that was my exact feeling while listening to the album. also the reason why i teared up at that last song. it was such an emotional rollercoaster.

I don't know how they're going to top this album its like potluck of tasty progressions, guess Jea really did want to go experimental

[@33Jenesis]

Jae and Sungjin prob have to learn bossa nova chords for OUCH. Those chords are not easy to grasp or get used to. My old band’s guitar player refused to learn those chords for me to sing Carlos Jobim songs.

[@JackieBuringa]

DAY6 is so good that you lose all ability to comprehend what’s happening. Except you know that whatever it is, it’s incredible. This album immediately went on my favorites list. I’m so so glad I stumbled upon them a few years back 🙌

[@iambutpaper1172]

if you think I'm gonna wait all eternity to watch you talk endlessly about kang younghyun then you are goddamn right

[@sarahcp13]

Omg I literally CANNOT wait for your video on youngk. He’s my favorite k-pop vocalist as well but also he is a lyrical genius. I wish I knew what goes on in that mind of his. Truly a wonderful musician

[@sage6861]

Also, the way stop talking transitions into not mine is really cool, going from the muted guitar strumming to the synth strings was a really cool moment when I first listened to it.

[@nathaliac.313]

That really blew my mind, like that was such a nice surprise.

[@gloriamaldonado7022]

and that’s on periodd

[@33Jenesis]

YoungK really is a top vocalist, not just in kpop. He’s pitch perfect, smooth vocal and emotional transition, wide octave range, no vibrato to be the super backup/harmony singer, clean diction when rapping.....he’s quite perfect really as a vocalist. We haven’t even counted his other musical and producing talents. I often thought about Freddie Mercury when I hear YoungK. YoungK is rather a reserve person, keen on observing than participating. If he’d abandon his reserve and go completely wild, he can sing Freddie’s hit songs credibly. Jae, Wonpil, and Sungjin all have distinctive tone and style when singing. If any of them would leave Day6, Day6 can survive and continue being Day6. However, if YoungK would be missing.....Day6 will lose the best vocal cushion, strongest backup, and the most versatile co-lead. He can literally sing everyone’s part, harmonize, and rap.

[@nikolaiquack8548]

Oh wow, I just made the same comparison between him and Freddie in my head after listening to this album. In fact, I think the album as a whole is comparable to some of Queen's best work. It reminded me of A Night at the Opera, somewhat.

[@veeveegem]

AND I LOVE HIM FOR IT!!! 😭😭😭😭💟💟💟

[@33Jenesis]

@@nikolaiquack8548 Right on! queen is one of the big influences for Day6. Both bands are into experimenting genres and taking chances. I often hear bits and pieces that reminded me Queen’s best. 👍

[@fankyfashionmonkey]

I'm kind of sad that the album was out of order for you cause I think the order it's in also gives a really good feeling. Like the strong first few songs that go into mellow different genre and switch again and end with flowing like wind is just SO GOOD

[@daebusim2978]

Umu!! Once you listen to it in order the ending of Stop Talking is complementing the beginning of Not Mine and it's so cool bc different genre and instruments.!!!

[@Yino_lemmon]

Umu: “just connect, Jae-Chicken Little, Sungjin-Bob the builder” When you know Umu is a true My Day 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@emmgotjams7513]

OUCH and About Now are I think my favorite bsides. Also, u probably figured this out, but about now is the song before ouch and i love it. About Now is very similar, or the same as a growing genre in the us....it's kind of branching off of indie music i think. But artists with that sound could be Rex Orange County, Cuco, Gus Dapperton. Good Morning....and lots more This album as a whole is superior tho. There's not a single day6 song I hate and this album brought so much. I have definitely added to my list of favorites. But, so far, nothing has beat I Need Somebody. Nonethelss, Like I mentioned, this is their best album hands down. Shoot Me: Youth pt 1 would then be second, even tho it's only an EP.

[@zoeg5451]

about now kind of reminds me of fleetwood mac's dreams for a second

[@noicentoit.]

This album is weird. I mean good weird. It made me feel so many things. I felt like crying while headbanging. It felt so desperate but nostalgic. The album as a whole felt like a whole life story. It left me confused but satisfied. Confused at the first half of the album trying to understand all these genres thrown at me. Satisfied at the ending because it was something I was finally familiar with. Just like as a whole, this album is just so big brain. They knew the reaction each note and each pause was gonna give so they made use of that to create a timeline for our emotions. I feel manipulated but that was goddamn amazing.

[@icecrepegg1225]

Also wonpil appreciation time 👏👏👏 thank you

[@MyNameIsNeutron]

I'm not entirely sure there's a vocoder on About Now, but it's definitely mixed behind the raw vocals if it is there. I think they only sound out of tune because that's how they were sung, but that the flanger kind of exaggerates it. It sounds like Jae programmed or sequenced everything but the guitar.
