Obviously biased but I really like the new OC track. Aside from the bizarre eyebrows they look great and the MV is fun. Perfs should be good.

Rest of the album is a bit tragic. Was surprised by Lizzy's solo, but I'm struggling to see why they called this a full album and filled half it with all their previously promoted tracks. That new Bangkok city recording sounds exactly the same to me. Not that I have played the old one enough to be an expert.

Pledis need to hire some new writers/producers imo. Afterschool's recent stuff has been lacklustre too.

Why Rania delayed again?

I want Killer already!

Lipstick is decent, but their outfits sure are great. It'll probably stick when I've heard it more though as OC's songs has a tendency to do with me.

New OC song is, imo, not as good as Funny Hunny or Magic Girl. Over the top video but the song itself is pretty bad.

I like the new track as well! Unlike you though I find production quality pretty good - a bit trot esque with some nice house music elements, its just that Nana's voice pisses me off sometimes.

I think its just that Pledis groups rely a LOT on its production quality and hooks, therefore their ideas run dry rather quickly.

New OC is kind of what I expected. Song is good enough for me, mv is fun. They're looking pretty good as well.

I don't really get that either. Quite disappointing.

Secret getting closer!

Flashback wasn't that bad, rest of the songs... not so good. Anyways, I'm a bit late on the review but Lipstick isn't as bad as you all say, honestly. Raina is OP as faq. It still sounds like something only OC can pull off.

It's a full album because it's their first album.

It's an EP without the old tracks, which they already released as Singles/B sides. 6 songs is not an LP.

orange caramel more like orange eyebrows

I've never been too crazy about OC's music but I guess you have to take the concept as a whole. That track was fucking terrible excuse for pop music, but like half of GD's releases, you have to take the experience from a more general perspective to find it enjoyable.

I agree about the take the concept as a whole part for OC. For me I love it. But I am strange so my opinion should not count. Hyperorange is just too cool.
