Come Back – AA

AA has made their long-awaited comeback. It has been like over a year since we all last saw them. From memory, I never got around to reviewing them, which totally sucks, because I really liked their previous song, Going Crazy. However after numerous months off, and a month full of teasers, the boys are back, with another song. On with the review:

The song, titled appropriately as “Come Back”, to me, is not that spectacular. Some people may think that this is a totally awesome song, but to me, it was kind of weak. What happened with their teasers? The teasers had really good songs, but instead we got this song. It is not exactly rubbish, but their were some parts that got me a little weird. Let’s start with the start. Oh the start, what was with the intro? That medieval style guitar-like sound. The song actually breaks down into a more popish song. Not keen on the transition here, and then we get into the chorus, which really sounds okay. However, the excessive use of the word “back” really threw me off. I liked the rap and that little English monologue. The high note was pretty good as well. But the random guitar moment within the song were deficiently not the best addition for the song. However, the vocals were pretty good, much better than Going Crazy.

That setting seems familiar, firstly. Oh wait, wasn’t that where SHINee used to perform Lucifer? Their fashion is okay (beside those red outfits), but was that red hair guy wearing lipstick? Like seriously? Personally, like the rainbow guy’s hair much more than the others. I am definitely not keen on that blur frame that had going out through the whole video. Is it me or that this music video seemed really under budget? They used a school gym for one of the scenes and had horrible lighting for most of the video. So yeah, not that pleasant for the music video.

The dance is pretty good, and to hear that the main dancer of the group had choreographed the whole song, was pretty amazing. Something I would’ve expected from Taeyang from Big Bang or Eunhyuk from Super Junior. The dance fitted the feel and the beat of the song.

5/10. Quite unsure about this comeback, despite the fact that I was looking forward to the “Come Back”. (I also apologise. I could not get an official live performance video. KBS has not uploaded anything yet :()

Because I’m Crazy – AA

Song

Another great debut song. It shows that the guys this year are doing better than the girls. Anyway, as I said the song was great. It showed the audience the different skills and talents that they have. I feel Aoora (mohawk guy) is singing too much. He sings like 50% of the song which is too much. (You see, I have trouble thinking how on earth SNSD and Super Junior divides their song). But beside that there is nothing much else to say. The rap was really good and the vocals were really good.  The beat of the song was really good. So the song must be really good right?

Music Video

I really like this music video. I like it how at the start when Woosang clicks at the beat of song. I like how the lights on the set correspond with the beat of the music. I really however think that their clothing is a bit tight on some. I really like the amount of close-ups they have in this song since it is their debut, however if they use the same amount of close-ups in their next song or in future songs, I guess the close-ups would be very annoying.

Live Performance

This song has a very energetic performance that goes along with it. Their dance is really great. Some thrusting in the dance which always is a turn-off in my point of view. So yeah the dance was great. However two of the members look very homosexual to me. Some people agree with me, so people don’t. After all, it is a review and is my point of view. Kimchi and Aoora are the people I am talking about. Maybe it is just their hair because their hair pointed out the possibility.

And The Rating?

Great song, great dance, great group. 9/10.

Have Fun Watching 😀 Troy
