Because...I think i see the album a bit differently.<br />Because i think melted was not a compromise or a tone down from AKMU, but it actually their attempts on broaden their image in the public. I got this impression when i read that melted was chosen by AKMU as their 2nd title song.<br />Even in Kpopstar, they have this heavy with quite dark melody song called optical illusion which totally different from their initial impression, so they already have it from the beginning not because they're compromising. But public had already inlove and associate them to this fun, young, upbeat image. So I think with melted, they're trying to loosen up that image, so they won't be retricted by it later.<br />However, i agree that they did this album masterfully, as they not change their style completely, but slowly introduce their listeners another side of them in the album. (melted and hello in their album had this kind of heavy and dark melody in them)<br />nonetheless, it's such a great album overall for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017678973431004838.post-8256771876049861792014-04-19T07:19:49.824+08:002014-04-19T07:19:49.824+08:00A lot of the songs on the album were written befor...A lot of the songs on the album were written before they signed with YG, you can look in Youtube, the videos are thereAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017678973431004838.post-13375950708284486772014-04-16T12:35:35.144+08:002014-04-16T12:35:35.144+08:00Great review!
