Monster – Big Bang

Song

I must admit, this is not one of their best songs. It really is not really up there considering their past songs. I guess the only thing that makes it stand out, is its catchy beat and the chorus. It does have a good, solid meaning behind it, that guys (or Big Bang, in this case) are not hideous monsters when it comes to love. Yeah, I only found the English in the chorus catchy. I also really love that off-tune note near the end. It was definitely the highlight of the song, and actually suited the style of the song. The vocals were alright, but that rap at the very end (or was it just GD  murmuring?) did not really blend in with the sound of the song. Not my favourite song.

Music Video

I really liked the special effects that were used on the faces and the eyes in this music video. It is kind of cool. The things I hate about this video is the slow-motion parts and the Taeyang’s Sushi hair. Yes, you know what I mean about the hair. Yeah, not cool and won’t be a trend with the idols and KPOP singers. And with slow-motion cameras, they are kind of boring. SM uses them so much, so it is draining. But beside that I have nothing to complain about. Expect for the fact that Big Bang is singing in a war field. But yeah, it was good.

Live Performance

There is no official Korean performance that I am aware of, but there was a Japanese performance. It was good, but the only flaw I saw was Daesung’s nose piercing (also seen in the music video) and that off-tune note at the end. It is really hard to make the performance flawless for this song, I guess.

And The Rating?

Not really the best, but it was okay. 6.5/10.

Have Fun Watching. Troy 😀
