YO ITS A SKZ ALBUM YALL

and i always do a listen-thru but very rarely post my commentary on it but @shoulderscars was hysterical as we listened to it, so yall get a listen-thru of Stray Kids' Ate ~

MOUNTAINS

If there's something the kids have gotten good at, it's hitting their stride with an album opener that doubles as a concert-hyper. It's heavy steps, very much the storm circling the top of the peak, absolutely the pantheon Han raps about lookind down their noses as the thunder builds behind them. Heavy atmospherically. Bop.

Chk Chk Boom

[CHOKES, GAGS, LOSES BREATH--]

From every single teaser to when we got the whole chorus early, I knew I was obsessed. I am obsessed. What's in this song, cocaine???? Why is it so good?!??? The m/v plays into the fun, cocky character of Stray Kids. The cameos are adorable. The video has so much replayability. The song can literally be looped for hours on end (WHAT. IS IN. THE TRACK. 3RACHA. WHATDIDYOUPUTINIT--)

It reminds me of 16 Shots (I need an edit of this song over Chaeyeon's aotm cover. I need it yesterday), it's Itzy's Loco married to Kill Shot, it's nothing like kpop and everything you'd expect from skz.

JJAM

I was giggling as I read the lyrics the whole time, WHAT UNSERIOUS LYRIC WRITING LMAAAOOOOO XD This song is if Changbin's Doodle and Item had a baby together, it's so quintessentially Stray Kids playing in their music lab with their favorite elements XD Like their Tortoise and the Hare experiments revisited!

I Like It

I had warned my sister "it's about a jerk." We read the lyrics as we listened and @shoulderscars literally said "No, it's just about a man." and she's so right for that XD It reminds me of the other side of Sorry, I Love You-- funny how invested Changbin was in writing those opposing perspectives, but that's neither here nor there XD It's got the elements of a mainstream chill song, with the addition of tinny and hip hop production elements to make it skz, and as a track, it's a bop.

Runners

Chan described this as running on a cliff's edge with the kids, and that's exactly how it feels. Mountain's lightning and thunder breaks into emotional rain every now and then, and the wind carries right behind them in a way that reminds me of a slightly more emotional Pacemaker (another Go Live/In Life track, eyyo XD) or the road up Mount Olympus that takes you to the storm of Mountains. Also, um, I know ChanLix written, but the second verse straight up written by gamer-boy Felix XDXDXDXD

twilight

I LOVE. UGH. OOF. GAH. THE PIANO? THE TRACK? THE MELODIES? I won't even go too deep into the lyrics, because they're very poetic, very Han-pop, but my love is solely and completely based on the production of this song-- I love how my love for Han and Bae's 5,4,3,2,1 set me up to love him trying this jazz-inspired element, because that jazz tone is something in chill-listening I wish we'd hear more of! Vocalization and phrasing in this also make my insides SO happy, it's that purpling skz, a noir film and the bottom of a bottle left behind to follow cobblestones by the water next to the city, the shadow of a brimmed hat under streetlamps, the mellowed lights of a city falling asleep~

Stray Kids

Cute. I love putting this next to Twice's Celebration, in terms of a track that both looks back and forward, and for a moment not really knowing how the future will play out, but in full joy of contract renewals and all that. I can imagine this being important to concert setlists, an ode to unity.

Chk Chk Book (Festival Ver.)

XD Yeye faster, faster, FASTER-- I love how this and rock vers and just giving the people what they /expect/ from the genre they're dipping they're paintbrushes into. LaLaLaLa wasn't a rock song, it was about the heart of a rock artist, and Chk Chk Boom samples from the heart of latina in every bit of it, but the song is uniquely this genre of music that exists in a space between cross-sectionalities. But yeah sure, they'll give you an all-out of what you expect anyway XD

The whole album reaks of their usual cocky overconfident characters they've been getting more and more comfortable in with each comeback. It makes me curious for where they'll take themselves next, knowing they'd never leave the soundscape production that brings them joy. I always think that I can't think of the musical space left for them to expand, and then they somehow manage it, and make something addictive and fun and interesting~
