Tonight’s elimination leaves us with only three Team Sweet tracks, and this one is perhaps one of the best representatives of those.

ASTRO sounds exactly as the title suggests, though I guess it’s a bit more mature sounding than NCT’s similarly titled effort…
@MmmDani (6) comments
“The lesser of two sweet-based evils.” and
@enjoy (8.5) also drags the other group a bitsy:
“I feel like every song that comes after NCT tracks are getting extra points from me. This is fun though, the chorus is addictive. I can't say no to a f*ggy last chorus.” @Salami (6) had to brace himself:
“Dreaded it from the title alone. I won't be listening again but it wasn't awful.”
@Christopher (8) says
“Solid. Good rap break.” and @nikkysan(8) rejoices:
“It's been years since I've liked an ASTRO title this much.” According to
@Attis (10) they are
“Finally returning to their roots.” @Wills (8.25) however, is satisfied but not that impressed:
“Not bad, but really hoping they're done with this dead-behind-the-eyes disco pop for awhile” Honestly I feel your fatigue but I would still rather listen to these than the stereotypical shout-a-thon (this is a false dichotomy, of course, but currently it’s pretty much the reality). Regardless, I've noticed a distinct lack of 10s for a song this close to the Top 10, so I guess you're right. To me this is the most 8-score sounding song of all time!
@boom bazooka joe (9) commentary hurts a bit, of course:
“I'm starting to get more into Astro lately for reasons. (Moonbin is the reasons.) This song is so cute.” He was definitely a stan attractor and, for me, the face of the group, though Eunwoo got really popular in the mainstream as an actor too. Speaking of him,
@chrisjche (9.5) says:
“Though it sounds like a SHINee album track, I love it - chorus is so catchy! And Eunwoo looks amazing as always.” He does, he is so unbelievably handsome fff And I definitely hear the SHINee comparison, this wouldn’t sound out of place on one of their newer albums.
