รีวิว Dragon Age: The Veilguard (12 hours in)

จะขอเทียบกับ Inquisition ในด้าน combat ว่ามัน beginner-friendly ดี เหมาะกับคนที่มาเริ่มเล่นใหม่ ทางด้านพล็อตนุก็คือ typical DA เลย ถึงผู้เล่นใหม่จะไม่เคยเล่น franchise นี้มาก่อนก็สามารถเข้าใจเรื่องได้ง่าย คอนเฟิร์มได้ในฐานะที่เราลืมพล็อตของ Inquisition ไปเกือบหมดแล้ว 555555

(2/2)
The final track, Tick Tack, is ILLIT at their peak. It is a missed opportunity that this is not a title track. At least it should have been a pre-release because it was THAT good. People have been complaining about this song that it was very annoying-which I wholeheartedly agree, but, in defense of this headache-induced track, this is an annoying and incessant song done right. The song introduces us with 8-bit and game-like elements—ILLIT is playing a game of love. The track (or the producers) knows from the start that the tracks wants to be an annoyance. The "Tick-Tack" sound is the sound of anxiety of the narrators wanting to impress their crush. The noisy chorus actually serves its rightful purpose: to accompany the lyrics about the anxiety and panic one feels when someone finds a person they like and they don't know what to do to make their crush like them. This song also is reminiscent of a Yaoi game soundtrack, DRAMAtical Murder, especially an 8-bit rendition of GOATBED's Al CATCH, but I'm going on a tangent here. Overall, we-cannot-do-a-song-over-three-minutes-or-we-might-die syndrome continues to plague ILLIT-with only twelve minutes in total from all five tracks in this EP. Though, this shift to a shorter song form isn't particularly a localized phenomenon but a universal one. And the fault mostly lies at production and marketing scheme rather than the girls. Overall, we-cannot-do-a-song-over-three-minute-or-we-might-die syndrome continues to plague ILLIT—with only twelve minutes in total from all five tracks in this EP. Though, this shift to a shorter song form isn't particularly a localized phenomenon but a universal one. And the fault mostly lies at production and marketing scheme rather than the girls. Furthermore, It would be remiss of me if I do not compare this EP to their debut EP. So, my verdict is that ILLIT manages to keep a consistent theme intact throughout their discography. I just wish their ballad/slower songs are more specifically curated to their musical and genre direction they are going. And for God's sake, (yes, the same God that ILLIT mentioned in Cherish (My Love)), I wish the marketing and production team curates and expands more genres for them. จริง ๆ จะเขียนเป็นภาษาไทย แต่นุไม่รู้เขียนไทยไงให้มันสวยง่ะ สรุปสั้น ๆ เอาเป็นว่าให้ 7/10 งับ Favorites: I'll Like You, Tick-Tack Least Favorite: Pimple 7/10

ขอคั่นโฆษณาโพสต์รีวิวอัลบั้ม I’LL LIKE YOU ของ ILLIT ที่เราเขียนเองหน่อยครับ เขียนฝึกภาษาอังกฤษเพลิน ๆ แต่ลืมเขียนภาษาไทยอะ เพราะเขียนภาษาไทยกาก 😭
Short and Glittery ILLIT's newest (as the time of writing) EP, I'LL LIKE YOU, is a short and glittery comeback with a really sweet and sugary overtone that appeals to bubblegum K-pop enthusiasts. As a K-pop listener who loves overly-sweet songs, I have to say that this EP will on a loop for at least three months if not more. And, yes, this review will be a positively biased one, but the good thing for you readers is that this review is self-aware, at least. We are introduced to the first song, I'll Like You, a warm up two-minute track with great vocal chopping. As much as I would like to say that this song has no flaws, I unfortunately cannot. Vocal chanting in the verses feels uninspired, not to mention offbeat. I have no doubt this is deliberate to make the chanting feel more authentic. But what happens instead is that the offbeat chanting hinders the syncopated energy of the whole song. Luckily, the last-minute chanting is not offbeat. Cherish (My Love) is next on the list and initially I was surprised that it was written by so many people yet it seemed so... safe. (Other songs are packed with several songwriters as well.) But that is when it realized that the songwriting process in K-pop industry involves songwriting camp and production camp so it's not a surprise why there are many songwriters, but I digress. Putting itself in the safe territory, Cherish (My Love) is a tame, mellow pop—too tame even, if you compared it to their debut song. Parallel to Magnetic, there is a spoken intro, but the cringe factor seems to be pushed to the max with MINJU's uttering the defiant lyrics with nonchalance, "You know what? Not even God can stop me. I'll like you." Yeah... right. Not even God can stop ILLIT from use that whole phrase as a spoken intro either. So, yes, God cannot stop ILLIT because, like Nietzsche said in The Gay Science, "God is dead" (p. 108) and maybe this cringe intro contributes to His demise. Aside from that, this title track is overall enjoyable albeit generic. It's inoffensive; it's palatable to a wide audience; it's like eating an edible paper candy. You can eat it, but one should ask why they are consuming it. Would I listen to it again? Absolutely. It's the type of song that would be in my playlist, but I would not call it my favorite. IYKYK (If You Know You Know) is a cute two-beat UK Garage-inspired song. I don't have much to say to it—it's an empty, typical garage track. I wish there would be something more: a switch-up or an extended bridge would be great. Again, this song is barely three minutes and we'll touch upon this topic later. Against my greater judgment (in hindsight), l unfortunately have to listen to a fourth track, acoustic-ish pop song called Pimple. Pimple sounds like a slower variation of Midnight Fiction. Pimple is a lethargic, mid-tempo ballad sister track, if you will. It is a shame to describe Pimple like that because I genuinely think there are quite many beautiful vocal layering in this track but it was held back by lack of melody variation. There's not even a transposition at the end to spice it up. The song just... exists as an outlier as opposed to other tracks and as a vague proof that ILLIT could do a ballad. Personally, this could be described as a filler song because if you remove this song out of this album, the energy of this album will not change. In fact, removing it might be more beneficial to make this record more cohesive. This should just have been scrapped. Beautiful vocals nonetheless.
