Woah, long overdue review much? Released like over 3 weeks ago or something, 2PM made their official comeback with A.D.T.O.Y, while “Come Back When You Here This Song” (review here), aka. the longest song name to date ever. Once again they have a quite a long title, this time they shortened the song to an abbreviation with no meaning. Congratulations JYP. You have done well. I also lied. Yesterday, I tweeted (Twitter Here!!!) that I will post new reviews on the 8th and 9th of June. I lied. Today is the 31st of May. I am a horrible person, I know. Guess this review is unexpected right?

Wow. I am surprised that the guys are not ranked as high. Actually, have they won an award yet? Have they actually won one award yet? Gasp!!!!! Anyway, this song is amazing. The vocals are amazing and the rap by Taecyeon and Chansung were pretty cool as well. Junho and Nichkhun sang the chorus which sounded amazing. They also did some high voice. At first, I thought this was kind of weird. It sounds like guys shrieking. After a while, I realized that this is a pretty cool addition to the song. Junsu and Wooyoung both sound great as well, however, not much emphasis is placed on them in the song as well. The song itself is about how a guy thinks about his girl. Heart yearning for her. All the cheesy but sounds amazing when in song form.

The music video is okay. Black and white, sex, sex, sex and sex. Did I miss something? Oh, yeah. I pretty much don’t like the music video for this song. It is kind of empty. There are many closeups and the guys themselves look really cool. I guess they went for a more casual feel this time around. I was quite disappointed. It is not flashy. I, to be honest, prefer Come Back When You Hear This Song more than this music video. The other has colour and is more colourful. Actually you can see that the use of black and white is getting a bit too trendy. If it fits the feel of the song, which here, it does not, then no, it is a horrible use of effects. So yeah, nay for the music video.

As for the live, the use of chairs seems fresh, simple and quite appealing. Their dance too is sexy as well, rubbing backsides and asses. The dance itself is really good, but it seems that the members are lacking emotion on stage.

So here, I am typing a review while watching Castles. 7/10. As I said, I prefer Come Back When You Hear This Song. That is the last time I am going to refer to that song ever again. It takes too long to type or write it out.

Aka. The longest title for a song ever. Sigh. 2PM is finally back after making their fans music deprived for around 1-2 years now. That must be a record for a popular KPOP group. Despite being shunned by the queen of KPOP herself, 2PM still ranks fairly high with this song. They are also due to release a new song, which will be their second title track sometime next week.

The song is quite addictive. To be precise, it is the best song on their album. Hopefully their next song off the album is better or have the same standard. It seems like the members are given more equality in the song. Something that many KPOP bands are lacking in. Sistar, SHINee, Teen Top, 4 Minute, BTOB just to name a few. But this song is really good. I love the addition of the piano and love how the dance fits the beat and the actual instruments of the song. The feel is much different and it proves that a band does not need to have a electro beat song to do well. This song is quite the opposite, but also has a big impact. I enjoyed the rap of the song and really found the chorus well done. The only complaint I have with the song is that … oh wait… there is no complaint whatsoever. First song in a while. So yeah, quite satisfied with the outcome of the song. (Oh, love the JYP part in the song.

As for the music video, I really like the whole idea of the so called “sins”. Lust, Envy, Greed, Sloth, Gluttony and Wrath all brings one person’s pride down. I love how it is also tied together in  like a little bunch of flowers. the only word that seems out of place here is Sloth. For some reason, sloth sounds really harsh. I am thinking of laziness or something along the lines of that. It sounds much formal. Also, love the effects in this video with the speakers. Those speakers are big and add some depth into that beautiful night view on the very top of the building. I also love the black and white feel of the video, despite the video being filmed in colour. I will let you ponder of that. 😛

The dance is quite confusing for me. So I won’t judge it. *Inserting hard judging eyes here*.

8.5/10. Pretty good. Awaiting their live stage and their next release.

Sexy Lady – Wooyoung (2PM)

Song

Guys, I don’t know what my feelings are for this particular song. I don’t listen to it much at all compared to other songs that came out around the same time. I don’t think it is bad, but it is not technically good at all. I think we can all agree that this song is not the best solo debut song out there. I actually prefer label-mate Jo Kwon’s song more than this.

As I am typing this up, I actually think his song does not really fit this type of club music. This voice is a bit too husky for this song and I think he relied on a bit too much of the background vocals in the chorus. I also felt the song’s beat and rhythm was a bit dead to be a clubbing style song. Clubbing song, which will be reflected in the Music Video section, should be more uplifting, not an average KPOP song.

[NOTE]: I am not being biased here. Wooyoung  is my favourite member of 2PM, just this song was not it. Actually, little side note as well: the whole album was not right for him as well.

Music Video

This music video felt a bit dead. There Wooyoung is and his is rocking at a club, probably getting all the ladies, and there is just him and a few dancers, dancing in the middle of the stage, surrounded by the most saddest crowd in the world. I thought girls would squeal and scream when they see Wooyoung not stand around and thinking that this is some kind of ballroom dance. Hands Up had this as well, and now Wooyoung?

Also, what is with that car and the dancers, are they trying to make themselves look cool? The lighting is off, giving Wooyoung weird coloured skin and the dancers are just pretending to be cool. The only thing that I would agree with in this song, is the amount of girls in the video. If you are puzzled, just watch The Boys by Girl’s Generation.

Live Performance

I actually like this dance. It is pretty good and actually reflect the lyrics. At the start of the chorus where he is all like “You keep circulating in my head”, he touches his head and rocks side by side, like blood is circulating in his head. As for the Sexy Lady part, I am not sure. There is a time and place to but ants down your pants.

And The Rating?

I would give a 7/10. Sadly, I expected more of a dance song, from the lead dancer of the group, not some thing that tries to sell him.

Have Fun Watching Troy 😀

Alive – Jun.K

Song

Wow, this is a style that  would never had expected from 2PM’s Junsu. From what I understand he is just the vocal person in the group but to hear him rap and sing what I understand to be Hip Hop kind of scares me. I quite surprised that he even can rap because I am just used to hearing him sing not rap.

Anyway, I really like this song. It is “ALIVE”. The vocals in the bridge, the rap and the hip hop beat is definitely cool. The whole song was the highlight for me. I just can’t pick between a certain section over another. His English in the song is really good. I find it much better in this song than in his previous song as he has this Engrish pronunciation. In this song, there is no English pronunciation.

Music Video

I thought there was a music video for this. I want a music video for this. There was news that he was mean to have a music video but currently we are all waiting. JYP do not become like SM , don’t make us wait. Turns out the music video for this song just happens to be what they filmed at 2PM’s concert (if I am not mistaken). That sucks.

Live Performance

Okay, yeah. Lost for words. Its not a good performance since it is a music video as well, but it is not also a bad music video. I do like the start where they are all dressed up in these ghostly figures and then Junsu turns around a few times and then he is like in his full suit wear. Yep, got to love stage effects. I also like the long line of fireworks.It is pretty cool.

And The Rating?

8.5 out of 10. Nice song. Still awaiting an actual music video, one that is not filmed during a live performance.

Have Fun Watching. Troy. 😀
