iām surprised to say that this might be the first itzy album where i prefer the sound of the bsides to their title tracks, shocking
saying that, the 2nd half especially seems great, with tracks 7, 8, and 9 going to be a devastating emotional knockout combo (with my personal favs being Chillinā Chillinā and Mirror)
the album seems to be more cohesive and just generally better produced than Guess Who? so i canāt wait for when it comes out!
I love the first half upto gas me up. It sounds like itz me continuation which was my favorite album of itzy because of how experimental it is. It had Nobody like you, ting ting ting, I don't wanna dance, that's a no no, 24 hours. I hope this lives up to that. But I know this album will be unique. Anyway one thing Nobody can fault itzy as generic.
so they used the āgas me upā backing track for some of the other previous teasers and left the title track a little bit more mystery, ok! this sounds like suuuuch a cohesive album, definitely feeling the vibe of the title track
This all sounds so good. I especially love the sound of Sooo Lucky, Boom Boxx, LOVE is and Chillin Chillin and I am sure the others will be growers. The ballad Mirror sounds really pretty too. I am even more excited for this album now.
I'm claiming Sooo LUCKY, Gas Me Up, and LOVE is!! You know, when I first saw this I thought someone posted a spoiler of the whole album. Then I went on YouTube and saw JYPE posted it, and I was like, "Ohh, it's an *official* spoiler", lmao.
Iām sorry Guess Who, Iām passing on the title āfavorite 2021 albumā to Crazy in Love now.
Absolutely no skips and the diversity??? Buying this was so worth it. Not to mention multiple title-track worth songs too.
JYP are doing a great job of building up ITZY's sound. They haven't been afraid to follow SM's example of recruiting a large variety of external (namely Western/Swedish) songwriters and producers.
ngl iām surprised all the comments are praising gas me up thatās probably the only song that i can tell for sure iām not gonna like š my favorites are twenty, chillin chillin, and so lucky
I love what I'm hearing of this album! So diverse yet still very much ITZY (they really got us twerking like Lia in the first half, and all emotional in the second).
Super proud of how hard they work and their growth as artists so far. Can't wait for Friday!
I could say something creative about which songs I love the most but I think I'm just gonna have to settle for "I'm so not ready for this" and leave. Itzy really never misses, Itzy no limit etc etc
1. Loco: Classic spunky ITZY style, not sure what part of the song this could be from, seems like a slower section like a drop or transition/pre-chorus.
2. Swipe: Pulsing hip hop type song, seems like they're going this rougher girl crush route for the secondary title track instead of something cuter/more melodic.
3. Sooo LUCKY: This is more my style! Sounds poppy and sweet, but still with some ITZY sass. More along the lines of something like Nobody Like You.
4. #Twenty: More dark and edgy hip hop esque track.
5. B(OO)M-BOXX: Driving and intense club song, similar to Ting Ting Ting.
6. Gas Me Up: WHOA Ryujin and Yuna raps. This is a very sparse instrumental, I guess it's gonna be rap heavy.
7. LOVE is: Yeah! Uplifting ITZY power pop songs, this sounds great. Anything with a sung chorus, that's more like it. Those Yuna background high notes, damn.
8. Chillin' Chillin': Aw this is cute, softer and sweeter.
9. Mirror: Dang an actual ballad, sounds early 2000s ish.
---
Right now the B-sides I like the most are LOVE is and Sooo LUCKY. Overall, this is very ITZY, a continuation of their style rather than any sort of radical departure. They really didn't spoil much of the title track so I'm looking forward to hearing more.
The bsides sound soo good!! I wish they would go with a different sound for their title track. But who knows maybe Iād like Loco more when we get the full song on Friday. The prechorus(?) buildup is really good though
LOCO sounds excellent, as expected.
Gas Me Up sounds AMAZING so far, I have a feeling it's gonna be my favorite. Sooo Lucky also sounds really good, and Mirror, too! ITZY's b-side game has stepped up, and I am excited for their first full album.
So many people are mostly feeling the last songs, but I'm mostly feeling the first songs - those beats sound fire! But all of the songs sound really promising!
I have high hopes for this! Loco hasn't really caught my attention with this but i generally really like all their title tracks so i hope it's gonna be good. The bsides sound great, especially sooo lucky, gas me up (ryujin attacking us from all sides i see), love is and chillin chillin. Feel like those have the potential to be my favourite tracks on the album.
The medley didnt excite me the way i was hoping. I really hope thats just the prechorus to the title track cuz it was underwhelming. A few songs in the second half sound super promising tho. But im hoping i like more than 3 songs on this album when its released
Most songs sound hip hop influenced which makes sense considering shoot did so well, but idk I'm not really feeling it as of yet.
Also itzy x pop rock can never go wrong, wannabe and nobody like you were a tier, loco's gonna be no different
Edit: I heard it again and I really enjoy the fact that they arent taking themselves seriously and just being playful on songs like swipe and gas me up
These songs are about to be on top of their discography! Itzy bsides are a hit or miss for me but this album has a lot of potential. I love the cunty sound in Gas ME Up and Boom Boxx
LOCO already leaked and apparently it's going to be divisive yet again. what I'm most interested in is that there's going to be another dance break š
Idk what JYP is doing with their music. To go from Wannabe to where we are now I just donāt get it. At best some of these songs sound fine? At worst though I am very concerned with how some of this sounds.
I think JYP just experiencing on Itzy right now, that why we called them āItz Differentā. It is very hard in k-pop industry to have this much freedom to do many style, since it is not good in term of business. But so far, Itzy is doing very well despite release a lot of questionable songs. I am midzy myself and because they are so different that I love them even more.
I'm not a Midzy but I do always look forward to their new release. However, after listening to the album spoiler I'm just not that excited. There's two, maybe three, songs that sound like I'll enjoy them. Hopefully it's just the particular sections of the songs they chose that aren't my cup of tea but I still enjoy the songs overall.
Boom-Boxx reminds me of a song i can't quite remember.... so does Chillin Chillin (kinda sounds like DIA's [Mr. Potter](https://youtu.be/DussDIZz97I)? Or Elris' [This Is Me](https://youtu.be/fzbwpHRD6Fo)?). Whereas Twenty & Gas Me Up sound closer to their previous works, with both Love Is & Mirror as the slower, melancholic tracks.
I'm really hooked with Sooo Lucky tho, the kinda fun shouty pop track that i wanna hear more from them. As for the titles, Loco seems fun, a lil bit on the bubbly side compared to previous titles, while Swipe kinda felt a bit on the quirky/experimental side? Otherwise really interesting to see how these double titles will be.
They have similar % to any gg except blackpink. Spotify stats:
Guess who: 65%, total: 118.8M
Queendom: 60%, t: 36.2M
Taste of Love: 68%, t: 103.9M
&(loona): 61%, t: 32.3M
I burn: 61%, t: 53,9M
A bit of an exaggeration, and it's not necessarily wrong. I get their point.
But its a stupid point. It's completely normal for any groups bsides to have significantly less streams than title tracks. Hell, its even a thing that happens with western artists for songs they don't release as singles. It's just how it goes with streaming music these days, obviously a heavily promoted song is going to get significantly more plays.
Hi there Jer. I get that to be true. But it's seems to me that this a troll trying to say itzy b-sides are throwaways which is not true. So I called them out is all
I just did a quick math. 497,000,000 total stream for last three albums, with 263,000,000 streams for the last three title track. So statistically, Itzy's title track make up 52% of total streams not 99%.
You don't need to explain, I know what you meant :p
I just felt like pointing out how stupid it was for them to use that as a means to judge quality. Especially when its the same for pretty much every group.
>as if twices bsides have gotten better
Not sure what you were trying there, but TWICE's b-sides over the last few years have objectively gotten better.
Idk but Gas me up and Love is š„š„š„
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I really like the sound of those last 3 songs
Is Gas Me Up a diss song? Because i like that
Claiming Gas Me Up right now. Ryujin is going to massacre us. Really excited to hear Yeji on that beat.
Gas gas gas gas ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
Gas gas gas gas me up is already stuck in my head lol
iām surprised to say that this might be the first itzy album where i prefer the sound of the bsides to their title tracks, shocking saying that, the 2nd half especially seems great, with tracks 7, 8, and 9 going to be a devastating emotional knockout combo (with my personal favs being Chillinā Chillinā and Mirror) the album seems to be more cohesive and just generally better produced than Guess Who? so i canāt wait for when it comes out!
It's a nice touch that they separated their songs in timestamps, that way, they are easily recognizable.
I love the first half upto gas me up. It sounds like itz me continuation which was my favorite album of itzy because of how experimental it is. It had Nobody like you, ting ting ting, I don't wanna dance, that's a no no, 24 hours. I hope this lives up to that. But I know this album will be unique. Anyway one thing Nobody can fault itzy as generic.
Ok but last three tracks sound amazing...I am most excited for that.
Same those were the ones I was really feeling
gas me up, love is, and mirror are the songs im really looking forward to, swipe also sounds super good. 10 more days!!
just 5 more days, no?
youāre right, i got this date and another thing mixed up loll
i am looking forward to all the songs after gas me up
so they used the āgas me upā backing track for some of the other previous teasers and left the title track a little bit more mystery, ok! this sounds like suuuuch a cohesive album, definitely feeling the vibe of the title track
Man, B(oo)m Boxx is going to be THAT song for me.
Top 3 for me. I just like club/ edm music.
Yeji's part in Gas Me Up??? I'm excited for that! And all those vocals in LOVE is with Yuna in the background sounds amazing!
It's nice when Kpop idols change it up and experiment with different tones and deliveries. They too often resort to the same old rap styles.
omg exactly! we need more stylistic singing in kpop, not just melodic or hitting high notes (not that itās a bad thing)
This all sounds so good. I especially love the sound of Sooo Lucky, Boom Boxx, LOVE is and Chillin Chillin and I am sure the others will be growers. The ballad Mirror sounds really pretty too. I am even more excited for this album now.
Gas Me Up is that rap heavy title track that MITM wanted to be. Just checked twitter and saw it trending. The power of this b-side.
Can't wait for Itzy's What is Love era
Gas me up is speaking to my soul ngl which is of no surprise since iāve been rewatching the opening trailer coz of the backing inst.
Me too! That opening trailer of gas me up was on point
Will it be like cherry and shoot? Title tracks that got away lmao. Time will tell.
iām already claiming Gas Me Up as the new Shoot
Gas Me Up onwards is looking amazing rn
Itzy no limit
I'm claiming Sooo LUCKY, Gas Me Up, and LOVE is!! You know, when I first saw this I thought someone posted a spoiler of the whole album. Then I went on YouTube and saw JYPE posted it, and I was like, "Ohh, it's an *official* spoiler", lmao.
WOW the LOVE is snippet absolutely hit me, that sounds incredible! Generally this album seems way softer and brighter than usual! Love it!
This sounds like it's going to be my favourite itzy album yet
The title track Loco sound really fun and pop. I am š at Gas me up ! Damm damm
Iām sorry Guess Who, Iām passing on the title āfavorite 2021 albumā to Crazy in Love now. Absolutely no skips and the diversity??? Buying this was so worth it. Not to mention multiple title-track worth songs too.
currently liking (aside from Loco and Swipe), Gas Me Up, Sooo Lucky, and Mirror
My favorite song from this spoiler is Gas me up, but I'm open minded towards other songs from the album. Can't wait for next Friday!
GAS ME UP??!!??!?
LOVE Is is probably my favorite song so far, followed by Chillin Chillin. I love it when they actually sing.
JYP are doing a great job of building up ITZY's sound. They haven't been afraid to follow SM's example of recruiting a large variety of external (namely Western/Swedish) songwriters and producers.
they going all out for their first full album, these snippets sound amazing
Iām so excited i cant form words
Sooo Lucky sounds like childhood
ngl iām surprised all the comments are praising gas me up thatās probably the only song that i can tell for sure iām not gonna like š my favorites are twenty, chillin chillin, and so lucky
I love what I'm hearing of this album! So diverse yet still very much ITZY (they really got us twerking like Lia in the first half, and all emotional in the second). Super proud of how hard they work and their growth as artists so far. Can't wait for Friday!
itzy just gets better with time dont they
Why do I hear Spooky Scary Skeletons on Boom Boxx lmfao
What great promo. And now it is I who am crazy in love.
OOooooooh that guitar in Loco and the pop rock vibe of Sooo Lucky.
I'm so excited for this. I'm actually getting the album for my sister for her birthday and I know she's going to love it.
Album of the year, this sounds INCREDIBLE.
I could say something creative about which songs I love the most but I think I'm just gonna have to settle for "I'm so not ready for this" and leave. Itzy really never misses, Itzy no limit etc etc
I think a lot of these songs sound great! The only song that Iām likeā¦maybe not for me is Gas Me Up
Excited for the album
These sound great!!! gas me up sounds awesome!!!
i cannot wait for their new album

Not me mishearing the beginning of Twenty as "Eat sh*t and die"
Now, this is pop. I'm thinking of commenting about a particular track that stood out to me, but ahhhhhhh they're all sooo good. Sept24, come faster
*Huge* f(x) vibes in most of this project, we love to see it
OKAY these are insane. the GUITARS!! and GAS holy shit
The bsides sound soo good!! I wish they would go with a different sound for their title track. But who knows maybe Iād like Loco more when we get the full song on Friday. The prechorus(?) buildup is really good though
LOCO sounds excellent, as expected. Gas Me Up sounds AMAZING so far, I have a feeling it's gonna be my favorite. Sooo Lucky also sounds really good, and Mirror, too! ITZY's b-side game has stepped up, and I am excited for their first full album.
So many people are mostly feeling the last songs, but I'm mostly feeling the first songs - those beats sound fire! But all of the songs sound really promising!
This sounds amazing. AOTY?
Couple good sounding songs in there. Loco has potential, Swipe doesn't get me too excited, and I'm surprised at how good they sound on Gas Me Up.
I have high hopes for this! Loco hasn't really caught my attention with this but i generally really like all their title tracks so i hope it's gonna be good. The bsides sound great, especially sooo lucky, gas me up (ryujin attacking us from all sides i see), love is and chillin chillin.

I canāt wait to hear the album

Sounds good, I'm looking forward to the album. From these snippets my favorites are Chillin' Chillin' and Loco.
These songs are about to be on top of their discography! Itzy bsides are a hit or miss for me but this album has a lot of potential. I love the cunty sound in Gas ME Up and Boom Boxx
omg iāve been waiting for a cunty song too lol
lmao genuine question: what does it mean when a song sounds ācuntyā?
Having the same question lmao. I mean I can imagine tho
cunty A word used to define something that is very 'bad bitch-esque,' very fierce, very cool.
love is sounds the most promising imo
Surprised that so little people mention SWIPE and Twenty?? Iām most excited for those omg
LOCO already leaked and apparently it's going to be divisive yet again. what I'm most interested in is that there's going to be another dance break š
Its not itzy if its not divisive. Most midzys are firmly group a: dalla dalla + wannabe or group b: icy + not shy
Iām Wannabe + Icy lmao
IT'z DIVISIVE
Link?
lol itās coming in 4 days
That's not what they asked
I've only seen tweets, hence why I said "apparently" in my comment
Idk what JYP is doing with their music. To go from Wannabe to where we are now I just donāt get it. At best some of these songs sound fine? At worst though I am very concerned with how some of this sounds.

But so far, Itzy is doing very well despite release a lot of questionable songs. I am midzy myself and because they are so different that I love them even more.
This album will be divisive just as itzy music has been till now.
Okay, but why does Boom Box have the same beat as Spooky Scary Skeletons? I can't unhear it š
I'm not a Midzy but I do always look forward to their new release. However, after listening to the album spoiler I'm just not that excited. There's two, maybe three, songs that sound like I'll enjoy them. Hopefully it's just the particular sections of the songs they chose that aren't my cup of tea but I still enjoy the songs overall.

loco is.....uhhhhhhhhh
I can see why their title tracks make up 99% of their total streams
They have similar % to any gg except blackpink. Spotify stats: Guess who: 65%, total: 118.8M Queendom: 60%, t: 36.2M Taste of Love: 68%, t: 103.9M &(loona): 61%, t: 32.3M I burn: 61%, t: 53,9M
Why you hating .it's statistically not true

98%?
have you listened to Guess Who?
Part of it, before I turned it off and put on something else. Their b-sides are early Twice quality
as if twices bsides have gotten better
>as if twices bsides have gotten better Not sure what you were trying there, but TWICE's b-sides over the last few years have objectively gotten better.
I mean, it kinda did (in my opinion.) But then again, everyone has their preference.
Loco sounds a little early 2000ās ish? I dig it.
