The GOT7 solos as a whole performing better than the SHINee solos wasn’t on my 2022 bingo card.

Oh I could because Jinyoung - Dive alone is a winner candidate methinks.

Also I forgot Reach Out Your Hands was already out fff. Take me to another universe where it goes Top 10 pleek !

First, let's get @eatyourself's (3) hater ass out of the way: “When Yeri said Feel My Rhythm was going to sound like this... I'm so glad she was wrong.” Fffffff Honestly I kinda get what the meant, the chorus has a similar melody. This song does a very good job at the ~hopeful~ positive vibe without feeling too schmaltzy or childish, and as always, the vocals are very beautiful. @askew (10) comments: “Falsetto got me weak in the knees.” The rap verses and the kinda generic attitude in them makes the song a little less special, though.

Speaking of rap, I will use @drod93 (9,5) commentary as a springboard for my own possibly controversial opinion: “Love the chorus, though a bit too much Mark for me”. I honestly really like the guy, he is extremely cute both in appearance as well as personality, but I kind of groan at his parts in most songs, and it's only getting worse with time ddd It doesn't ruin anything, but... yeah. @bbynewyear (8,5) comes for daddy Jeno instead “I forgot how much I enjoyed the verses in this track. Except for Jeno's lines, they can burn.“

@boombazookajoe (9) notes: “I know after the divisiveness of Hot Sauce, this was the more palatable Dream release. And it's excellent! But it's a little cute next to gorgeous when comparing their title tracks last year for me.” Is this a new strategy these days, or maybe an SM thing? Release an album with a divisive title track (Hot Sauce/Don't Call Me) then quickly follow it up with a repackage that feels more classic to the group (Atlantis/Hello Future).

@Slice of Life (10) has his wish granted: “I know my boys are not the KPJ-approved NCT unit but I really hope this song finishes at least in the upper half of the rate. This is quintessential NCT Dream and it would break my heart to see it flop so bad helpppp” Wait, they aren't? I thought they were the most PJ-friendly, "cute" one ddd They also seem to be breaking records left and right in the real world, so good for them! @Inland Empire (9) is a fan: “This one really kinda fell through the cracks, which sucks because I think it’s one of the best NCT singles from any subunit.”

I remember this album also having some beautiful b-sides. Here's my favorite of them!








 
I like Hello Future but I’m not bothered to see it go…
I appreciate that Jisung got a lot more vocals in the Hot Sauce/Hello Future era…
He proved on Glitch Mode that he’s a competent K-Pop rapper, but I think the group shines a little brighter when he’s singing…
Not to mention the fact that NCT Dream really doesn’t need 4 rappers…
 
I don't get why this is out so early. The chorus more than makes up for a little bit extra rap.

However, I don't remember who said that NCT Dream could use less rappers less rap in their songs, I agree with that. Jisung works much better as a full on singer than as the fourth rapper. I also wouldn't mind less Haechan
