PSA: search for “HxW” on Spotify and Apple Music because the album/songs won’t show up if you search for Hoshi, Woozi, or Seventeen 🤦♀️
Carats keep saying they should work with others. Ironically, I enjoy the songs worked with less producers more. To me:
1. Pinocchio – so sad that it’s so short
2. Stupid Idiot – there’s one part in particular that I really like. I think it’s the post chorus?
3. 96ers – I only truly enjoyed Woozi’s low rap, and the bridge tbh
I wish pinocchio was longer, I really like it
I just know Pinocchio is gonna be on my Spotify wrapped top 5 this year and I’ll be forever sad that it’s only 1:46 💔 criminal. Really liked soyoon too
Did they sample the mugunghwa song that is usually sung for red light green light game? That’s so cute 😭😭🥰🥰🤧🤧😭😭😭
Also did I hear so many callbacks to their previous songs like sonogong (super) and at the party jane (from leaders unit – cheers)?
Why is pinocchio short 😭
Pinocchio is criminally short 😭
i really like 96ers so much, especially hoshi’s rap. didnt know he could!
First listens ratings:
1. Pinocchio like most fellow carats it’s soooo good but criminally short 😭 but everything else about it is amazing.
2. 96ers the more I listen the more I absolutely love it, like I said before the references are so great and provide such nostalgia but also fun in trying to find everything, i’m addicted to their lower registers and I need it more and they’re just radiating coolness.
3. Stupid Idiot, I love it too even if it’s my least favourite of the 3, it’s still so catchy and is such a fun dance song, would go so hard in the club.
Overall I love it, another great mini, I just detest the short songs trend and it really seems like it’s here to stay 😭 I’ll look more into the lyrics after work.
I knew Pinocchio would be my favorite song on the album. It’s criminally short omg.
WHAT A SOLID ALBUM! Came into this with super high expectations and they still managed to surpass it, I’m thoroughly impressed by the quality of all the songs, although all are way too short lol.
Love the overall childhood theme of the album. From the theme of Pinocchio, to the Red Light Green Light melody line in 96ers and the 얼레리 꼴레리 line in Stupid Idiot, love that there was a cohesive theme that brought everything together.
**Pinocchio**: Probably my favourite track off the album, a pity it is so short. The mysterious, dream-like aura of the track is unreal. Listening to it makes me feel like I’m ascending to heaven. I can’t really tell which are Soyoon’s parts and which are woozi’s, but the harmony of those heavenly vocals paired with hoshi’s (?) lower notes are insane. Love it.
**96ers**: MASSIVELY obsessed. This song screams GD x Taeyang homage (as they’re always talking about) and the mugunghwa sampling just works so well?? Extremely catchy song, I can definitely see it going viral. Their rap parts killed me (esp hoshi’s) and obviously love the not so subtle references to other songs
**Stupid Idiot**: Sister of Eyes on You? Immediate clubby vibes haha super catchy! The chorus melody line also reminds me of something but I can’t pinpoint what. Woozi’s autotune heavy bridge part after the chorus is probably my favorite part of the entire track
My thoughts about the album:
1. Pinocchio – I feel like I can accept the song length if this is a full album :”) I’m happy with the sound though
2. 96ers – It’s a fun song and very much meta, lots of references and inside jokes. I do think the song lacks repetitive section that’s easy to sing along though (vs “nal ssogo gara” of bring it). But I’m happy that they’re able to write what they want 🙂
3. STUPID IDIOT – Love the electronic sound!! I would pay to have an album full of songs with this genre haha. Maybe an unpopular opinion but it’s such a fun song.
• **Pinocchio**: I think everyone feels the same; it was way too short!!! I really hope Woozi will one day release an extended version but for now, it’ll be on repeat.
**• Stupid Idiot:** It started growing on me on the second listen. It’s very GD coded for me. If you told me this was a GD release, I would’ve 100% believed it, but I love it even more because we all know how big of a fan HoWoo/Seventeen are of him.
**• 96ers:** I loved the little references they added to the lyrics. Cheers, Salute and Super. I get why it’s the title track; it’s catchy, and the melody will easily get stuck in your head.
I dont know what type genre Stupid Idiot is but I really like this type of sound that plays at club. (Also reminds me of that frog song)
Stupid Idiot is something I might listen on repeat while working out 🫣
My opinion 😎
Pinnoccio – This song is friggin gorgeous. It was beautifully haunting. Painfully short thought. Like they should have atleast made it longer for our sanity 🥲
96ers – The song is full of swag and weirdly very THEM. LOVED IT!! Entire song is very ass shake worthy 😌
Stupid idiot – The only thing I’m gonna say is that if this song doesn’t have a choreo, we’re gonna have a problem 😤. What a banger🤌🤌
I’m seriously gonna fight whoever decided that 1:46 for Pinocchio would be enough.
Stupid Idiot is such a fun song tho! It’s like if Eyes On You and LMFAO had a baby 😂
Pinocchio is really good but the rest isn’t really my style which is sad :(((
I kinda expected the album to generally sound like this after ‘Bring It’ – which is not generally to my personal taste, but the performances have always made up up for that. Like everyone else, I like Pinocchio the most and wish it was long! And it’s nice to hear more of Woozi in general. In full group songs, the lines obviously have to be spread around, so it’s great to hear him have more of a chance to really go off vocally (my favorite parts of these tracks).
Apparently unpopular opinion but Stupid Idiot is my fav, what can I say I love the club bangers, and I do be a stupid idiot sometimes. 96ers really surprised me with how different it is (in a good way), not what I would expect from a svt song. Woozi is still experimenting and pushing himself musically which is what we love to see. And Pinocchio is beautiful but way too short, Woozi when I see you we will fight.
Hoshi and Woozi you killed it! Can’t wait for my albums to arrive (shipping from Korea so will take like a month 😭😭)
