Surprisingly listenable. Sena has a rap section that’s longer this time! The sections are clearly marked and although I think they pause one too many times, it really does help the song not feel overwhelming. Or maybe I’m just getting used to it…

I like the song but I hate the weird AI parts.

Not a big fan of the rapping (I’ve always found it pretty cringe), the frequent pauses, or even the breakdowns. It feels pretty disjointed to me.

My opinion will probably change on repeat listens, but for now I feel it’s the weakest single of the bunch. At least they tried something different though!

Can we get a version without the rap?
Or at least the rap done by an actual rapper??

If Sena wants to improve his rap skills, that’s fair, but he could easily do that in a side project.
Especially for the recorded version they would do better to have someone do the part who knows what they do.

It is as if the song stutters, but I think if you listen to it more often you will notice those pauses less.

Not a fan of the rapping :confused: other than that it’s an ok track, probably the weakest out of the last few ones that share the same vibes

They got that high pitch sythn guitars going on which is cool. I love the instrumental direction but the rapping kinda threw me off. I wish he did rapping with like one of the member either the bassist or the guitarist with a duo part or something. I feel like that probably would have mixed a bit better. The couple parts where the instrumentals cut and he’s just rapping that felt weird to me.

Overall the whole song felt like there are these parts that go together on paper but they seem a bit forced?? Also the sythns are tuned up way to high overpowering the bass a bit.

Sena has learned so much from Mana and emulated him in many ways. If only he was more like him as a vocalist…

Pretty lackluster song, unfortunately. No meme value because the 3 or 4 ā€˜tricks’ in it were used better in previous EGM songs.

I am sorry, Jiluka fans, but in my book this is the pure definition of cringe-core. I understand what they are doing, I am quite sure it will work because they consciously target a specific segment who will enjoy it. It’s just that I can’t :slight_smile: Personally, I loved almost everything they released until 2019, but from there it was a downhill for me

help me this is the funniest thing i read and now im laughing myself into a coughing fit :sob::skull:

edit: i like parts of this. i enjoy cringe music (unironic maria cross / trembling bambi fan, ayo) but sena’s rap is. It’s There! It’s A Thing! the pauses are a bit jarring but they go away after the 2nd listen, the ending breakdown is surprisingly good. 7.5/10 thanks lightning for rapping

What we’re thinking of the MV?
Hold up, let me correct that.

I hear some birds screaming from the roofs that majority of the MV is AI.

(I barely watched the MV tbh, because it’s boring)

It’s pretty awful; I don’t think they even tried to hide the fact it’s AI :joy:

Ouch, those captions on that Sena verse.

I am actually annoyed by the AI slop MV, but at least the outfits are great, especially Sena’s, I love it. They look good. The song is allright, fun even, I certainly like it more than the last one (Savage). Also, maybe it’s just me not understanding the rules of this genre, but I would’ve put another chorus at the end of the song, after the breakdown. My brain expected it somehow.

It’s alright, will probably be better live than studio as with most of their new releases. It just feels like loud for the sake of being loud lol

:skull:

Can these guys not write more than song?

The rapping is cringe af

Its like the go through of a checklist of what makes a song ā€œfunā€ live with fun audience interaction parts and shit. But then it goes out the window when every single song they release is the same shit
