Tag: B.A.P

B.A.P is now back with another song, that seems to be leaning towards more of the cutey side rather than the man warriors that they debut in. It is much different compared to their old songs like Warrior as it is not as friece and dominate and it is not like Crash, where they were not serious and doing it for their fans. Stop It is more serious compared to Crash, as they sing about a love song and just like that, they give us another single. Can I just say also, this is the sixth song they have promoted this year.

The song is just not what I want to here. Crash was more cutey, but this song did not cut ir for me. To be honest, I was disappointed. I think this is the weakest song that the boys have tried since their debut, and really don’t fit their image. From the title, Sop It sounds like it will be a bad-ass song like Warrior, however, in the end we just had a really sad bubblegum poppy type song. To me, this song does not draw out their vocals and their raps. The chorus was catchy though, and sounded okay. However, I miss bad-ass B.A.P, wish them to comeback next year.

The plot in the music video is quite weird. So BYG walks out with a burger or sandwich and is hit by Daehyun who is driving the car. BYG is sucked into some kinfd of time warp. He then turns invisible and has the chance to stalk the love of his dreams and stop JongUp, Zelo from messing up in the girl’s class, Youngjae from proposing to her and Himchan from kissing her. BYG thinks that she cannot see him, however she seems BYG clearly or actually senses him perfectly. She lures him to a small room and zaps him, sending into some kind of white room. My question is why could Daehyun see BYG after he went through the time wrap  Why couldn’t the others see him? And why does he have the power to breathe fire? Is he a dragon? That is a lot more than 1 question…. Well, apparently he is meant to be a devil character. This is one weird storyline.

Their dance is okay, a bit jumpy. But it is just okay. I like the Superman part though.

Sorry, a 5/10. Not the best song out there. Not the best song for them to sing.

Is there like something going on now? These guys have been working non-stop releasing their repackaged album for No Mercy, and before that released so many other songs. Give these guys a break! But these guys have come back with a unexpected turn in style. B.A.P is known for their really hardcore, “warrior” type of image, but they made their comeback with a cutey, aegyo type of song. Totally unexpected, but seriously, I have not heard any criticisms with this, I think they are just fine!

The song is really aegyo style and really is not what I like. But with the sound of the song, it does keep some of the really powerful bits of their other songs in it. I think the vocals are more highlighted in this song  than raps, to show what Daehyun and Youngjae have. As ais above, it seems like they have taken many parts out of their previous three stages and made them into something cute and mashed them together, which is a good thing. I approve. The only thing that was a letdown in this song would be the raps. Though, I know this song is for fanservice and stuff, but raps made B.A.P stand out a lot, and more of it would’ve been greater. Also the song was too short.

The music video is just clips of them having fun. Nothing to complain about here.

The dance is pretty good for this song. Did I see a “Starlight Moonlight” reference in the dance since most of the guys performed with Secret as background dancers? But I think the choreography was pretty good, and did show their softer side, which did fit the sound of the song. I am not disappointed at all! Oh, and all the article about Bang Yong Guk’s depressed face when Zelo jumped into his arms! Hahahahahaha.

Really short review, but one good song. A good music video and a really good choreography. 8.33333/10.

B.A.P made their comeback with another fierce and powerful song. This however did not carry out the same kind of vibe, as Warrior or Power, but is more a gangster, bling bling  type of song, that I would expect Flo Rida to carry out. But they made this song look professional for such a new rookie group. They are still fierce, but at the same time, quite mature.

The song is definitely gives off a different feel to the group than Warrior or Power. They gave us more of a tough kind of image, than a gangster, laid-back kind of image. The song is quite a catchy beat than really makes this group outstanding. At first, I thought the song would not work out for them, but I was wrong. It grew on me, and turns out it one of the most listened to songs on the list. The raps are always superb in my opinion, and the vocals are always great as well. I really don’t have anything to complain about this song. Well, beside Himchan’s Boom Clap Boom Boom Clap part. It sounds like he was saying gibberish to me.

The music video is quite smart. From a foreigner’s mind, the zoom in images of the random objects are really random, and may put the viewer off. However, quite cleverly thought out by the director, the images compliment the lyrics so it is good. The music video too was quite dark for me, which I don’t really think is that important, but when I think of it again, a really bright music video would not have worked as well anyway. I also did not the like the red-orange background for some the video. It was quite distracting. But beside that, with song and dance, everything else was alright. Oh wait, shorts.

The live performance is pretty good. Daehyun never leaves us unimpressed with his high notes during the performances, and the dance is pretty good. I am not sure if some of the performances needed the traditional instrument players to come out, because they made the stage look a bit messy and uncoordinated, but they had their time to shine.

Well, look at that. 8.5/10. The music video was a bit distracting. but beside that I am quite happy to give them this rank.
