Hey guys!

FML, I have been COMPLETELY out of the SNSD (or anything in fact) loop since Friday as I've been busty over the weekend so I missed pretty much everything - I didnt even know the MV was released until a few hours ago and I missed the Twitch Plays Pokemon being completed :cry: :cry: :cry:

 

Actually the way I found out is a funny story, its a bit OT and about Katy Perry so you can skip if you want

my sister likes Katy Perry and she knows about me liking SNSD but she's sorta like "ugh" about it (you know like how you have someone go on about someone/something and you tune out because you dont know or care). Anyway, she shows me a pic of SNSD and Katy Perry and my sis is saying Katy is wearing McDonalds clothing (when i first saw her dress I couldnt stop laughing for ages LOL). But the funny thing is she says that katy is standing next to a group of, and I quote, "extremely pretty girls, seriously they're very pretty"......I then give my "I'm about to own you" smirk and say its SNSD. My sister's face went all like "Oh crap I just complimented that stupid group that my awesome brother is obsessed with" and doesnt say a word after that. :lol: :lol:

 

 

Anyway, since I'm one of the few Sones on the planet who hadn't seen it, I'll do a quick review (BTW I havent even looked at this thread since I last posted because it's a spoiler minefield for me, so just humour me when I point out the obvious or am bringing back up old stuff):

  • The girls look FANTASTIC. Seriously, they all look spectacular. Hyoyeon especially stood out the most to me. Sooyoung and Jessica were radiant too.
  • Their dresses looked really pretty too, especially when they're walking through the corridor near the end and their manly ones. There was also what seemed like IGAB inspired clothes during the 1st chorus which looked cool.
  • The mannish concept was actually true after all - and damn they looked good. They really pulled it off well (RIP fan girls :lol:)
  • I've mentioned this about teasers before but the whole pink and blue colour scheme is really eye catching. It looks terrific
  • From what I saw of the dance, it looks slick as hell.

Its not all good news though

  • The SFX got a bit annoying. The blurring, the lens flare and the out of focus shots started to get in the way of actually enjoying the MV. I get they were going for a "drugged up patient thing" (I think) but damn the editor went over board. Its like giving photoshop to a complete noob and seeing them add every effect possible thinking they're doing a good job.
  • WHERE WAS THE DANCING?! SNSD have some awesome and iconic dances, so why only something like 20 seconds worth, most of it in b/w dammit!? This was a huge bummer, especially during the dance break, most of it was in shadow
  • There was a like a pseudo story going on right? Bring guy in, drug him and........that's it? Seriously, they cut dancing just to keep weak story going?

In all, Im giving it an 7/10. The lack of dancing from a group like SNSD and the mildly annoying effects kinda impeded the MV. The girls themselves and the hint of dancing are practically the only reasons why I rated the MV such a decent score. I honestly cant believe SM delayed it for it to turn out so........incomplete....yeah thats a good word to describe it - its missing a few key of elements that make it a SNSD MV.

 

IMO IGAB is like the prefect SNSD MV: lots of close-ups and clothes swaps, colourful and vibrant as hell, lots of dancing and even a teeny tiny bit of story just to round it off

 

Well with that done, I'm gonna be backtracking the 70 or so pages I've missed. Anything significant I missed (I'm only aware of the concert in Japan atm)?

See you in a while

Is it wrong that I actually like those songs? The Boys album is my favorite album and I can honestly I liked every single song on that album. 

It's not every day you can say that about a K-Pop album.

True! A lot of k-pop albums are full of fillers and just okay songs. The Boys, SNSD's first album, SHINee: The Misconceptions of Me, Pink Tape, T-ara absolute first, and EXO - XOXO are the only albums I enjoy to the fullest.

 

The other Soshi albums are pretty good but there's always a couple songs in each that I don't really like.

The feels are real. Great reaction video. I think this would be representative of a large part of the fandom (if not the majority) that get lost in the screaming, naysaying and noise of a SNSD comeback. I mean, there's a reason most of us are fans, right? We like SNSD and what they do. Right?

Still think both Trick and Oscar are terribly overrated. Prefer Oscar a little more but wouldn't put either of those songs in my top 20 SNSD songs.

 

Each to his or her own man. Personally, TRICK is one of my top 10 tracks from SNSD.

That's basically what I said as well. But, I had time to ruminate and I think that all the effects and the minimal dancing shots are important. I really feel like the video is trippy, weird and incoherent. That's the point. Hallucination, and dream tend to not make sense. *shrugs* Had the editors had more time to edit the video, I think the product would have been better?

If not for the data loss, It would have been glorious as fuck.

 

Like this girl.

I know :) I tend to go against the beaten path (I think Run Devil Run is also basic) so perhaps I'm just abnormal lol. The Boys was definitely my favorite song on that album.
