[chaosandwolves]

Ok I need TAD to tell us that we're getting a new album on July 2nd to prove that my theory of 2nd of June or July was right

And also just for my mental health really

For everyone who wants to know what I'm talking about look under the cut

Hear me out

These are the dates the past albums were released:

27th June 2016

29th Feb 2020

31st Oct 2021

There are always 2 days between the days

27 > 29 > 31

so naturally, the next album should be released on a 2nd

There are 7 (or 8 depending on how you're counting) months between the months

6 > 2 > 10

Now, that would mean the next album would release in June but because we know that didn't happen it could be July and still would make sense

Cause we go from 31 to 2 which would fall into a new month

So time wise it would make sense that the new album releases on the 2nd of July

There

Makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

Yes I'm very normal about them

And no I don't have an explanations for the years. But there were in the studio a few months ago so I'm clinging to the hooe that it will come out this year

Anyway I'm ready for them to put my emotions on a roller-coaster

[taylor-on-your-dash]

Hey, I have a piece of information about the writing date of So It Goes…. so that you can fix your spreadsheet with the writing date. So It Goes… was actually written on March 2nd, 2015 because Oscar Gorres, the producer of the track has said that Taylor had to FaceTime the morning after he became a father to show him the song, and Oscar’s first-born child was born on March 2nd, 2015. Plus, Taylor was seen leaving the studio that afternoon. I hope this helps you correct your spreadsheet with So It Goes… being written on March 2nd, 2015 instead of September 2017. But it could be that the 2015 version is a rough draft? I don’t know, but either way at least SOME version of So It Goes… was written on thst date, but it probably wasn’t the final version, since this version would’ve likely been about Calvin Harris, possibly referencing him, so she may’ve changed some parts of the song. Still, even if this version is about Calvin, it’s probably a Sparks Fly type of situation where she wrote a rough draft/demo version a few years before the final version was released. I have more thoughts on this, but they’re kinda just clown theories, but tell me if you’re interested in them.

P.S.: Do you think that Karma the album is real?

I actually don't think that SIG was written in 2015 because:

Oscar Görres said that when Taylor did SIG: "Max and Shellback did half of the album with her in L.A", so that means the 2016 songs, like Gorgeous, King of My Heart, Delicate etc.

Taylor said that she wrote every track for the album.

The lyrics are very Joe Alwyn, imho: "met you in a bar", "all eyes on us", "I'm so chill, but you make me jealous". The bar line especially.

The tracklist on the reputation magazines are all over the place, and that makes me think that the tracklist was revised.

Also the baby was *born* on March 2nd, and Taylor was in the studio in the afternoon. There's no way that both parents were already at home.

But please, you're welcome to share your theories here. Someone a few days ago wrote me that they were attacked cause they had shared their thoughts on the MIAB/CBBH situation and I don't want to be a self-righteous person so thank you for sharing your theory.

As for Karma, I don't believe it's real. Taylor said that she didn't know what musical direction she wanted to take next and that she wanted a break. When reputation dropped, she said that there were people in her life who didn't inspire her to write songs (I think this was a dig at Calvin, so it might be a straight up lie lol)

WOODVALE

Folklore was recorded at a total of 5 studios:

Conway- LA (1989 also recorded here)

Kitty Committee- LA (1989 also recorded here)

Electric Lady- NY

Long Pond- NY

Rough Customer- NY

NY-3 LA-2

Exile ends in 3..2.. does exile end in LA? I too am one of the ones that expects an announcement for a last stop in LA.

3rd letter of the alphabet is C 2nd letter is B. Mirrored that is BC.. British Columbia? I wonder who’s gonna be there? Okay I’ll tell you tswizzle will be in Vancouver which is the largest city in BC for her 1st of 2 stops in Canada. 11/14-11/23. There is a break in between those shows as well. This is also the last stop of the tour prior to her next announced release.

Kansas City hosts LA on 12/8… the last day of the eras tour.

Kansas City to Toronto is 1,610.9 miles (8.9)

…I’m gonna have to join a fantasy league next year..

The Chargers-Chiefs first meeting was 9/10/1960 latest meeting was 9/29/2024. They have had a total of 129 meetings. I don’t like that meeting sounds like they are discussing stock prices, but i suppose saying played with each other is inappropriate. So like why don’t they just say games? Is it a game if it isn’t fun anymore?

Anywho in 2010 the chargers kicked the chiefs ass with a score of 31-0. And back in 1964 the chiefs kicked the chargers asses 49-6.

These two teams are now the farthest apart pair of teams in the same division

*there was speculation that after the release of both Folklore and Evermore that there was going to be a third to make it a trilogy.

There were 8 special editions of Folklore (album 8) on vinyl and cd. On the Hide and Seek variant of Folklore on the top right in a barely there print says Woodvale. And on the bottom left it says Taylor Swift.

Okay 1st letter from each of those words are: WTS. Rearrange WST. She did say that she forgot how the west was won.. E is the missing letter to make that word WEST E is the 5th letter of the alphabet and it is also the 1989 album. WEST each letter added together = 22 which then = 4 the 4th track on 1989 is OOTW. This song was made available from Big Machine for download on 10/14/2014 as a promotional single (13 days before the release of 1989 on 10/27/2014.). She then premiered the music video at Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve on 12/31/2015. Then the song was released to US pop and hot adult contemporary radio as the album’s 6th single on 1/19/2016.

-1/11 is “No Longer New Years Day” this is 8 days after that.

-1/19 is:

National archery day -> The Archer

National Lucy Day -> BS character name in CrossRoads.

But also 5+5=10 which according to swifties is Midnights but according to Forbes that is Fearless TV. “This ain’t Hollywood this is a small town.” Holly-Christmas plant. Wood-vale. Out of the woods?

Woodvale

She said in an interview she “was afraid to unveil the real title so she made a mock up one and then forgot about it.” Right… The TC Maserati had an issue with a mock up or something? Wait it’s a trident, like Little Mermaid?

*The Woodvale historic District is a national historic district that encompasses multiplee historic properties that are located in Broad top Township (area code is 814=13), Bedford County, Wells Township, Fulton County, Wood Township, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on 7/24/1992. This district included 79 buildings. Woodvale was also a mine-ing community

Woodvale & Glendale both are 8 letter places. In this instance there are 3 in this post.

Show #1 of the Eras Tour was in Glendale, AZ. Which is home to the Global HQ of the KKK/Aryan Nations. *5/23/2016 an article on Vice.com states that Nazis and members of the “alt-right” have labeled TS as an “Aryan Goddess.” They claim that her songs “red pilled” America into believing a conservative, racist agenda… hm you try reading that without laughing, let me know.

OR

we have Glendale, California (20 miles away from Sofi Stadium) which was referred to as “sundown town” and has a dark history of anti-semitism and racial discrimination. From Nazi rallies in the 1930s to the presence of the KKK.

Train from glendale to Sofi is 1h 45. Minutes. Show #145 is 11/22/2024 N5/6 in Toronto. (This is my reminder that LA had NO TY Post)

N1 in LA was show #48 (12) N6 in LA was show #53 (8).

12/8 is the last Eras Show. Show #149 (14 which can be reduced to 5) but 5/14/23 was show #22 N3/3 Philadelphia, PA. The SS were both from Fearless (2nd album) tracks 4 and 12. -> -> 412 is the area code for Pittsburgh, PA which is 4hr and 37 minutes (319.5 miles) to Philadelphia via US-22 E and I-76 E. -> -> -> Pittsburgh on the Eras Tour was 6/16/2023 and 6/17/2023 show #32 and #33. ->*->*-> the previous 2 shows before Pittsburgh were in Detroit where the 1st surprise song was Speak Now “Haunted” track #12. The last surprise song played in Pittsburgh was Speak Now “The Story Of Us” track #7. 12/7/24 is the 2nd to last show of the tour #148 (13)… this would be labeled as a reach but its not because on her merch site she has Fearless bookends available for purchase, they are White Horses. Two of them, just liked the #2 she has been holding up. Also this makes the “exile ends in 3…2” the bookends songs between the two cities are album 3 and the physical book ends are album 2. **Also White Horse was released as a single for Fearless on 12/8/2024, which is the last night of the Eras Tour as I stated as the beginning of this paragraph. (So many of her eggs have lead me to the last night, which holy shit is that a play on words for the band Our Last Night? They have covered her 25x in performances since 2017, Anti-Hero and Blank Space. Yes I do think it is a play on that because I just found an unreleased 2004 TS cover of “Our Last Night” by Better Than Ezra) I’m calling it Our Last Night now, omg cause it’s Ours? Omg that was released on 12/5/2011 as a single. 12/5/24 is the night before N1 in Vancouver. 12/5 is a mirror of 5/12 which was the #87 show N4/4 in Paris. The surprise songs didn’t have matcha bookends they had matching songs in the middle, the 2nd guitar song was Red (album 4) (track 3) is 34 backwards and she turns 35 this year. The 1st piano song was Red (album 4) (track 16) 416 is the area code for Toronto. -> The Toronto Maple Leafs (like Maple Latte? The hidden message from “All Too Well”?) have a 3 peat in their Stanley Cup history 1947, 1948, and 1949 in which 48 and 49 they sweeped the Red Wings back to back. (Sweep.. like she was sweeping the yellow brick road in the Karma music video?) the Maple Leafs also rank #2 in the list of most Stanley Cup wins with them having 13 wins.

*The Vancouver Canucks, along with the Sabres, are the two oldest teams in the NHL to have never won the Stanley Cup.

**11/13/2013: TS (while dressed like the British Flag in the most Spice Girls way possible) has her first performance at a VS Fashion Show NYC “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up) with FOB. During this performance Karlie Kloss and Cara Delevingne (1989 World Tour 6/12/2015, 6/27/2015, 7/11/2015 guests) were the Angels on Stage (OMG are they the ones that rolled their eyes?!?) and also performed “IKYWT” while this song was happening fake snow was falling on the stage -> The Pittsburgh Penguins used the FOB song in their 4/13/2013 commercial (11 years ago). -> flash forward to 2024 on 11/13/2024 the Pittsburgh Penguins host the Detroit Red Wings. The most recent game was the Red Wings home opener at Little Caesar’s Arena on 10/10/2024 where the Penguins beat the Red wings 6-3. -> The Red Wings have won 11 Stanley Cups. The Penguins have won 5 Stanley Cups, they are 1 of the 2 teams with 5 wins the other being Edmonton. (11/5 was Election Day.. hmmm)

Moses Barrett III (July 22, 1973) known by the stage name Petey Pablo, is a rapper from Greenville, North Carolina. He is known for his 2003 crunk hit “Freek-a-Leek”. He spent five years in prison for armed robbery and upon his release moved to New York City, where he met Black Rob and Busta Rhymes, and, according to rumor, was signed to Jive Records after the A&R director overheard him rapping in a club bathroom.

He began working on his debut album. The first single “Raise Up” was released in the summer of 2001. “Raise Up” was helped by rotation on MTV and heavy airplay on urban radio, and reached #25 on the Billboard Hot 100. His first album Diary of a Sinner: 1st Entry peaked at #13 on the Billboard 200 and was certified Gold by the RIAA.

Diary of a Sinner: 1st Entry received a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album. His success continued with the release of his second studio album, Still Writing in My Diary: 2nd Entry. It peaked at #4 on the Billboard 200 and was certified Gold by the RIAA. The lead single off the album, “Freek-a-Leek”, became Petey Pablo’s biggest hit single of his career by reaching #7 on the Billboard Hot 100. He achieved more mainstream success for his feature on Ciara’s hit single “Goodies” which topped the Billboard Hot 100.

After the release of his second studio album, Petey Pablo went on a hiatus from music.

He founded his independent label, Carolina Music Group. He released a track in July 2010 entitled “Go”. He released a single called “Get Low” on iTunes.

He released a new single via Soundcloud and YouTube titled “Carolina Colors”. The single was used as a hype song for the 2016 NFC Championship Game against the Arizona Cardinals.

He appeared as himself in Drumline where he performed “Club Banger”, “You Can Find Me”, “Raise Up”, and “I Told Y’All”. He had a guest appearance in “A Thousand Deaths”, a 2005 episode of The Shield. He appeared in the film Just Another Day where he played B-Bone.

“Blonde” by Frank Ocean

Released in 2016, “Blonde,” became Frank Ocean’s 2nd studio album. This album dives into the mind of Frank Ocean himself, such as love, identity, nostalgia, and self-discovery. In the song “Ivy,” he reflects on a past relationship and the pain of lost love. The lyrics convey longing and retrospection, alongside nostalgia. In “Pink + White,” arguably Frank Ocean’s most famous song, it has references to his childhood. The lyrics paint a picture of summertime and innocence, while hinting at the loss of innocence and morality. My favorite song off the album is “Seigfried.” In “Seigfried,” Frank Ocean reflects on his journey of self discovery, and the challenges along the way. The song has themes of loneliness, identity, and the search for meaning. What I love about “Seigfried,” is how comforting it can be, and the experimental approach Frank Ocean took to the song. It uses a couple of different styles, while remaining calm, and conveying a sense of loss and searching for oneself.

FURY (UK) Fury are an electrifying blend of hard rock and heavy metal, who are currently lighting up stages across the UK and Europe with their irresistible brand of high energy, no nonsense rock’n’roll! After releasing two well received studio albums in 2014 & 2016 respectively, Fury went through an evolutionary process in the band’s line-up and direction in 2018. The new line-up still featured founding member Julian Jenkins on vocals and rhythm guitar, but he was now joined by well-renowned bass player, Becky Baldwin. Together with drummer Tom Fenn and guitarist Jake Elwell, Fury’s new sound would be forged, focusing on writing accessible songs rooted in the styles of traditional rock & metal with a fresh modern twist. In 2019 the band set to work on what would become their third studio album “The Grand Prize”. Recording was finished in early 2020 and the release date was set for April 2nd. 10 days prior to the album’s scheduled release, the UK was put into lockdown due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Although the planned album launch show and subsequent tour dates had to be postponed, the band were committed to releasing the album. Rather than focusing on the negative aspects, such as the tour postponement, Fury fully embraced getting out to their audience via social media, which led to huge growth in the band’s following. In March 2022 Fury released their 4th album “Born to Sin” and embarked on their biggest tour to date. With 50+ dates headlining shows across the UK & Europe and playing festivals such as Download & UrRock in Switzerland as main support to Skid Row. For this tour, the band recruited the incredibly talented backing vocalist Nyah Ifill to bring new energy to the live shows. This formula worked so well that Fury welcomed Nyah as a permanent member of the band, who will inevitably play a huge part in the band’s future. In addition to this, Becky had the honour of being handpicked to play bass for Mercyful Fate on their recent North American tour. A huge achievement that has surely raised the profile of both herself and Fury. With all these pieces now in place, Fury are set to take the next step in their career and unleash their energy onto a global audience. THE THREE SUM THE THREE SUM have already been stirring up the domestic Swiss Rock scene for a few years and are now releasing their new EP “Kingdom Fall” on 12/02/2022 via Dr. Music Records. With wacky little horror stories and a dystopian mix of Punk Rock and Metal, they continue their foray in a scary road cruiser on the dusty asphalt of the international Rock ’n’ Roll highway. The sinister mood with just the right pinch of hot rod flair was musically perfected in the studio by producer Mack Schildknecht (China, Second Reign, All To Get Her). Then Grammy-nominated New York mastering specialist Mike Kalajian of Rogue Planet Mastering (The Devil Wears Prada, New Found Glory, A Day To Remember) put the finishing touches on the record. Inspired by the never-ending trouble in the world, the music and lyrics of some songs take on almost political overtones, something that hasn’t been seen before in THE THREE SUM Rock ’n’ Roll universe. THE THREE SUM can already look back on twelve eventful years of band history, in which the musicians Flavio Lamberti (vocals and bass), Pascal Artho (guitar) and Harry Müller (drums) initially thrilled their fans with classic 90s Pop Punk. With their debut album “With You”, brilliantly produced by Tarmo Simola, the trio based near Zurich made it 2016 into the official German college radio charts and then into the MTV.de Top100 video charts with their second single “Friends”. The band opened the great Swiss Rock The Ring Festival a year earlier, sharing the stage with such acts as Papa Roach, Five Finger Death Punch, Alice Cooper and Billy Idol. With their 2019 EP “Nice Night For A Walk”, THE THREE SUM opened new horizons and changed from their debut album’s good mood sound á la Blink-182 to an explosive cocktail of Punk, Heavy Metal and Rock ’n’ Roll. Thanks to the ominous lyrics and ingenious cover artwork, the EP gave off the vibe of an archetypal B-horror movie and immediately landed on some of the major Rock playlists. Due to the pandemic, the Punk Rock musicians could not celebrate the success of this EP extensively on tour as planned and so they used the unwanted free time to produce “Kingdom Fall”. Inspired by all the events of the last years, the hard-hitting opener “Long Live The King” is about mighty people in many realms, from entertainment to politics, not always using their power to benefit the weaker ones but gaining even more control and influence. This song sticks with its damn catchy melodicore sound in the head and is not without reason the second single. In “Fade To Black”, the Swiss ask themselves why certain people and institutions constantly assume the right to determine what others have to believe and think and try to enforce it with all means. They threaten, they murder, they feed people misinformation and woe betide anyone who does not accept their lies and resists. THE THREE SUM have expressed their lack of understanding of this in “Fade To Black”. The first single, “Coming After You”, is the musical link between the EP and the evolution of their Punk ’n’ Roll sound on “Kingdom Fall”. As a horror movie fan, singer Flavio Lamberti likes to write songs on this subject because there are always great metaphors. The title song and, simultaneously, the third single “Kingdom Fall”, in turn, unites the stories of the previous songs for the finale. Imagine if there could be a world not dominated by lies, abuse of power, and a false messiah. That’s the kind of world everyone would secretly like to see. A little bit of anarchy? Maybe. Or maybe just the wish for some peace to finally return. But for that to happen, the old kingdom must fall so that this world can be reborn. On stage, THE THREE SUM don’t take any prisoners and make sure with sweaty shows that every fan shares for that moment what feels like the best time of his life with the band. The five new songs manifest themselves on “Kingdom Fall” into a power-packed musical muscle car with which the Swiss trio provides additional speed on the Rock ’n’ Roll Highway. Not only fans of bands such as Papa Roach, Asking Alexandra or A Day To Remember should get in and step on the gas with THE THREE SUM! Quelle: Met-Bar   Lesen Sie den ganzen Artikel

Top 5 Metallica Albums of All Time

Today sees the release of Metallica’s 72 Seasons album. I haven’t listened to the whole album yet, but I thought this would be a good time to go back and rank their best albums. 

I first got into the band circa 1989. Their brand of thrash metal is perfect for an angry confused teenager. But they also had a very cerebral thinking-person’s take on issues too. I saw the band live in 1992 at Foxborough Stadium when they co-headlined with Guns N’ Roses and when they headlined the 1996 Lollapalooza Tour in Pownal, VT (the only New England tour date). More recently, I saw bassist Robert Trujillo on a panel at the 2015 Asbury Park Music In Film Festival (I was at the fest with my doc Life on the V: The Story of V66 and he was there with his doc he produced Jaco) and in 2017 I saw Kirk Hammett at Peabody Essex Museum when he was at the opening of his “It’s Alive!” collection. 

The rules with this list is studio albums only. They’ve done so many types of albums too including covers (Garage Inc.), a collaboration with Lou Reed (Lulu) and more. So no live albums (sorry S&M orchestra albums!).

Honorable Mention: ...And Justice for All (1988)

The band’s 4th album was my introduction to them and my first tape of theirs I bought. It's also a long album, where no song is under 5 minutes (that’s a lot when you’re 12 years old). There’s some classic songs here, but in the end, it didn’t make the Top 5.

5. Hardwired...to Self-Destruct (2016)

The band’s 10th album (a double album I might add) was a serious return to form for the band. Not going to lie, this is the band’s best album since the 90s, hands down!

4. Ride the Lightning (1984)

The band’s 2nd album was a band refusing to fall into the sophomore slump. 

3. Metallica (AKA The Black Album) (1991)

The band’s 5th album was released in the August of 1991. I bought the album on cassette tape that month and was blown away. “Sad but true” was especially a great headbanger. I don’t think it left my tape deck for about two years!

2. Master of Puppets (1986)

The band’s 3rd album I picked up in junior high after I had gotten into the band and listened to it countless times. It’s also a special album because it’s the last one bassist Cliff Burton played on before his death in 1986. 

1. Kill ‘Em All (1983)

The band’s 1983 debut album ushered in thrash and speed metal (Anthrax, Megadeth, Slayer) as the alternative to 80s pop metal. There was an energy and drive in the band at this time and they put everything they had into this thrash debut. To me, this is the band at the top of their game. Songs like “motorbreath”, “whiplash”, and “seek & destroy” are metal classics.

Muse

Muse is a British rock band formed in 1994, in Teignmouth, Devon. Since its formation, its members are: Matt Bellamy (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Christopher Wolstenholme (bass, backing vocals) and Dominic Howard (drums). After the release of Black Holes and Revelations, Morgan Nicholls began collaborating with the band during live performances, taking charge of keyboards, samples, some choirs, rarely bass and lately second guitar. The band is known for its extravagant live shows, for fusing musical genres such as alternative rock, space rock, progressive rock, symphonic rock and electronica, also for Bellamy's atypical interests in global conspiracy, revolution, astrophysics, alien life, ghosts, theology and the apocalypse; themes that are reflected in his lyrics. To this day, Muse has released nine studio albums: Showbiz (1999), Origin of Symmetry (2001). Absolution (2003), Black Holes and Revelations (2006), The Resistance (2009), The 2nd Law (2012), Drones (2015), Simulation Theory (2018) and Will of the People (2022). They have also released three live albums: Hullabaloo Soundtrack (2001), which also contains a compilation of B-sides; HAARP (2008), which documents the band's performances at Wembley Stadium in 2007; Live at Rome Olympic Stadium (2013), a performance by the band in front of over 60,000 people in Italy; Simulation Theory film filmed in August 2019 in two presentations at the O2 Arena, and after a year, it was released in August 2020 for the IMAX cinema. Black Holes and Revelations earned Muse a Mercury Prize nomination and third place on NME's Best Albums of the Year list in 2006. Muse has also won a number of awards throughout her career, including five MTV Europe Music Awards. Awards, six Q Awards, eight NME Awards, two Brit Awards (awarded for 'Best British Live Act' twice), an MTV Video Music Award, four Kerrang! Awards and an American Music Award. MUSE were also nominated for five Grammy Awards, where they won in the best rock album category in 2011, for their fifth studio album The Resistance (2009), being also winners of the same award for Drones in 2016. Considered one of the bands of most popular and successful rock band of the last two decades, as of June 2016 they have sold more than 30 million albums worldwide. Part of the success of Muse resides in the great interpretative and compositional capacity of its members. It is a band known for encompassing and mixing various genres and musical currents. His original influences include artists such as Nirvana, Pink Floyd, Rage Against The Machine, Rush, Deftones, The Smashing Pumpkins, Jeff Buckley and Jimi Hendrix; in addition to the influence of classical composers, especially those of the romantic era, such as Sergei Rachmaninov, Franz Liszt and Frédéric Chopin. Additionally, Latin music has had a considerable influence on the band's sound. Subsequently, the band has been influenced by groups such as U2, Depeche Mode, INXS and Queen. Several critics made comparisons between the sound of Muse with the sound of the English band Radiohead, especially Bellamy's voice. Although he has stated that he 'doesn't really like' the music of the Oxford band and attributes the similarities to the fact that he and the Radiohead singer are notably influenced by musician Jeff Buckley. The newspaper La República published in June 2013 the clear musical influence and style of Radiohead on bands created in the 90s. Notably, Muse is almost ten years younger than the Oxford band, even Matthew Bellamy tried to imitate the voice of Thom Yorke, but both have different voice registers. While Bellamy's tone is sharper and more hurtful in the dramatic Tenor trait, Yorke's has much more nuances (denotes regret, anger, nostalgia) and fine expressions in the Tenor trait, for which reason the debate is always open. Matt Bellamy, who usually leads lead vocals, has been shown to have a forceful voice in both the chest voice and head voice registers. His falsetto reminds critics of great rock music vocalists like Jeff Buckley and Freddie Mercury. Read the full article

–— ⠀*⠀⠀:⠀⠀AVOS⠀!⠀⠀[ . . . ]⠀⠀is a fictional boy group under apricus culture. formed through the survival show, GENERATION: AVOS, the group made their official debut on january 9, 2014 with a lineup of five members.

the group experienced immediate success with the release of their debut project led by the title track, blues of sentiments. their rise to success is usually attributed to their status as a self-producing group. part of their massive appeal to the public is the members' extensive involvement with all creative elements of the group's releases.

though the group has experienced steady success as their company's best-selling boy group since their 2nd gen predecessors nyx, they've also managed to retain a reputation for being surrounded by drama. while a majority of their scandals are simply speculations made viral by netizens, some of their biggest scandals are usually the result of the members' free reign over their social media & creative releases and very limited media training prior to their debut.

regardless, the group's continuously climbing success has allowed the company to overlook their pr disasters, even awarding them a sub-label as a 'thank you' gift for renewing their contracts in 2021.
