ABOUT the 5th Mini Album ‹ALIVE›
? The intro (simply entitled "Intro — Alive") is nice, it in fact lets you think that you're gonna
get much more catchy songs right after.
But then…. "Blue" comes up. And you get depressed. (XD) This, or you fall asleep, depending
on your current state.
Then comes "????" (= Sarang Meonji), It very much resembles Bad Boy and Blue that
would have been mixed together, which isn't a good thing, definitely. If you got 3 songs out
of 6 that sound alike, it's pretty much a fail to me.
The 4th track is "Bad Boy", bad choice of track-listing considering what I just said about Sarang
Meonji. I actually prefer Bad Boy to Blue for my part, I think it's a good song but just not one that
should have been chosen for a Comeback announced like the besets ever.
The 5th song is called "????" (= Jaemi Eopseo). It's again, another ballad. And then I'm
starting to get slightly angry.?? Anyways, I felt like Top was more present in this one that the
others(excluding the 3 Comeback songs we got so far), while I had that weird feeling of hearing
pretty much only Daesung so far.
Ah, FINALLY ! The 6th song is… "Fantastic Baby" ! AND IT'S NOT A BALLAD, WOOHOO~
PUT YOUR HANDS UP ! (XD) On a more serious note, it's simply the best song of the album
for me (and believe it or not, I in fact have a thing for Ballads as of lately. So it REALLY means
that I didn't like these ones.), It's this one we all should have seen as a first song for their
Comeback. I'm pretty sure me, and probably tons of others non-VIPs (and even VIPs, because
my BFF Rey; who's one; favors this song over the others as well !) would have been even more
enthusiastic about it all. Anyways, they released also, which definitely a good thing !
Now about the last song, which is entitled "??" (= Nalgae) and is a Daesung Solo, is just a
excellent picture of EVERYTHING I detest in a song. No lies, I hate everything about it. The
fact it's so common, that you have the feeling you've heard this a billion times already in the
past, that you already can guess how the chorus is gonna go and all… It's just a big no for me.
And I've always hated the pseudo-mix between soft rock and pop. It honestly sounds like some
really precise kind ofJ-Pop that I already hater when I was into J-Music; so please no.
So… Overall, this review is pretty terrible. I have nothing to actually say about most songs because they left me… Blank. Only Fantastic Baby and Bad Boy stand out for me. Yet, it's definitely not a bad Album so to speak because it's obviously well-produced, but it's just good for
the die-hard fans.

ABOUT the MV for ‹BLUE›
? Well… It's pretty, melancholic and all… And it's a
bit boring. Also, I just don't dig Daesung as aBlondie and I keep wondering how Tayeang fans do not
get tired of him as he's just always the damn
same. Top's hair color leaves me quite speechless,
too. Seungri's definitely the one I think looks the best
and in fact sticks to the mood of the song. Ah, and I
have just nothing to say about GD.
