Tag: A-Jax

Do you know how hard it was to find a picture to put in this review? Like seriously, it took me three days of looking. There were some, but they were too small. I had to squint to see it properly. Anyway, A-Jax has made their comeback, after promotions of Insane, back in July. This time around the member which was out of promotions due to injury came back (I think his name was Yunyoung, not sure). However this time, Sungmin, the main vocalist has an injury and has been said to be sitting out for promotions of this song. Going for a more light hearted song this time around, do not be fooled with the boys youthful image. That or you have realized that you have fallen prey to a snake. No??? Okay then…

The song is described to be lighthearted and as a funky rock genre. All of those are in the song, no complaints there. But I am quite disappointed with the turn that the boys have been going for. I really liked Insane and Hot Game. Thier other releases however do not sound as great, this song being the worst of them all. This song has kind of grown on me much more than 2MYX or One For You, but it still has my head saying no. I did like the chorus,, which is really catchy. I also love the “Hey Baby Why you act like you don’t even know my name? Baby baby baby” part which really good. Beside that, I was not impressed with the song. After the rap, the song literally went downhill. Like I could tell that from just listening to the song, It just ruined the mojo of the song and the ending was really disappointing. Is it a bad song to the point where nobody should listen to it? No. But for me, the song was not as great as other songs out at the moment.

The music video is quite suggestive. The band enlisted the help of Woori from Rainbow to play a role of a snake in this video. She slowly eats the members by luring them with their good looks. Honestly, I think the guys are a little naive. It is like they have never seen a girl. Thier acting is exaggerating the true events of the video, but I think they are trying to put more a of a comedic side to the whole story. However, I am surprised that the guys did not notice that something is kind of wrong, when their members go missing. And when I say missing, I mean alive, in the snake’s stomach. No, like if the first guy went missing, I would’ve been like “Where is my friend” and start freaking out, not play music instruments. And also don’t those guys like shout or anything to get other’s attention? And last thing, my mind would’ve have realized that something wrong when the girl starts jumping up and dancing when you played the flute. Just saying guys.  Also like the addition for the “CPR” scene, where they go all textbook on the whole procedure. Just one thing annoyed me there: “No RESPOND”. Yeah, sorry guys, but that kind of jumped out at me the first time I saw it.

The dance is quite interesting. I don’t find the dance great, but it fits the song perfectly. I like the “Hey baby why u act like you don’t even know my name Baby baby baby” part of the dance and that is about it. The chorus and other parts of the song seemed quite cheesy to me and did not go down well in my mind. Why does that sound wrong?

4/10. I think, for me personally, the band has to top Insane. It is like the best song from the band out there in my point of view. This song was rather weak and it was not that great in my point of view.

A-Jax recently made their comeback with a new song after a few successful comebacks last year. This time around, they have gone for more of an “insane” look for their fans. This is probably my most favourite song of the group and I think probably one of the best songs of the year. And now I am at a lost about what to say. Writer’s block sucks. Oh they made their comeback on the 11th of July, which is half a month ago. Damn my laziness. Seriously, I am surprised why this song is not ranking as high, because this is some good stuff.

The song is really good. I just want to say I will recommend it regardless place and time. I’ve asked my friends, and many were not that pleased with the song, which is disappointing, since I really like the song.  Those breathing sounds at the start and throughout the song keeps the song in its mode. It is different and really keeps the singers on top of the song, if you know what I mean. I really find the chorus of the song really addictive and the raps are top notch. The song itself talks about how a guy is slowly going “insane” over this girl, which kind of make senses in a way. I also really like the really husky “Babe Babe” part at the end. Pretty much approve of this song. If you did not get that, well….

This video is “insane”. Like there is a plot line to the whole video, but I guess you have to rely on what you believe in and your imagination. So what my interpretation of this video is may be a little different of what what the video is actually is. So this guy is taken to some mental facility. He, however is hypnotized by the old doctor and instead believes he is being treated by two sexy, young nurses. However, his mind starts going crazy and wonky. So therefore the other guys are all in his head doing weird stuff which does occur for the “insane guy”. However even during this time, he is trying to “dream” his way out of the room. Towards the end, he dreams of the right key after many attempts to unlock the door. That is my interpretation and it seems like the video something on that is completely different to the thing that occurs later or just before the certain scene. It lives up to the song title’s name and looks pretty good.

As for the dance, wow. I like it really well. The only thing I have to say though. This song needs the special fire effect or those fireworks thingy. Without, the whole stage looks boring. However the guys themselves have amazing stage presence.

9/10. Excellent comeback overall. I am totally satisfied by everything. Are you?

A Jax is back with another song! This time is much softer and a lot less fierce that their previous songs, like One For You and Hot Game. This song talks more about love and kind of fits the season more unlike their previous songs.

This song is okay. I don’t technically hate it and don’t actually like it. It does not appeal to me, like how Hot Game did for me. I guess this song is kind of lacking. The song is a response to Girls Generation’s Run Devil Run, as it contains a lot of direct lyrics that match both songs. However I really like the title of the song. It is 2MYX, which is kind of shorthanded for To My Ex, which is really smart.

First of all, I would like to say the music video is really choppy. There were to many small scenes and they were added in a random sequence. I have to say, there is very little running apart of the choreography and alone like 1 part of the whole music video. I like the contrast between the light and the dark background in the video, when the focus is on the girl, which makes her more mysterious. However, I am not sure about those upside down pyramids, they seem to be only there to fill up the empty space.

The dance is kind of okay. It fits the feel of the song, however I would like to see something with more emotion and power. At least they incorporated parts of running in it, which does fit the lyrics of the song.

I would give this song a 7/10. Okay, could’ve been better.
