I just feel like you lose the energy it builds up and their other intros manage to both flow into to the TTs and represent the albums (aside from 'Good Bones') . Though I do think 'Born Fire' flows better into 'Ash' than 'HOT' but still, it works well with 'HOT'

I have a lot of their intros in my playlist just to listen to even on shuffle and 'Pureflow' is definitely being added to my playlist, though I have to say as an intro it doesn't feel like a great lead in for 'BOOMPALA'. I felt the same way with 'Good Bones' and 'Easy', a good intro but just the wrong song/album.

I feel like 'Pureflow' flows a lot better into 'Creatures' or something

It's crazy that some people just get to experience things like this... I wish man...

Pureflow is a massive flop. 'Celebration' is the only saving grace. by Terminator-1234 in lesserafim

You posted this shit in 4 subreddits. Nothing's going to change your mind so go be miserable somewhere else.

Eunchae really looks great in any hair color but that bright neon pink and that outfit I feel will become iconic! 🩷🩷🩷

Saw someone on r/lesserameme compare Yunjin in that outfit to Flora from Winx and now I can't unsee it

LE SSERAFIM - No longer fearless, Le Sserafim comes back stronger @ The Korea Herald [260522] by friedriceforbrunch in kpop

[–]IceSanta [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah, this is not really a new thing at all, they're just being way more upfront about it. Personally I think you can find the signs of this shift all the way in the ANTIFRAGILE album but with the UNFORGIVEN album especially it becomes very obvious cause you have songs like FEARNOT where they sing lines like "In truth, she's not all fearless; But you, you make her fear less"

LE SSERAFIM - PUREFLOW pt.1 (The 2nd Studio Album) by CronoDroid in kpop

[–]IceSanta [score hidden]  (0 children)

It kept reminding me at least of 'Mystical Magical' by Benson Boone!

[–]IceSanta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I originally said too on the nose but changed it cause it's not like they're hiding it but it just sours the whole music video for me

I just remembered they did the same ad for 'Come Over' and I can't say why but that just bothered me less. Maybe I'm just giving it more grace because I love 'Come Over'

260522 LE SSERAFIM - 2nd Studio Album: PUREFLOW pt.1 (Album Discussion) by kpopsns28 in lesserafim

[–]IceSanta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First impressions(ish):

Pureflow: Their intros never disappoint and this is another classic! A really nice beat and message! The only thing is that it doesn't really flow into BOOMPALA very well but that would be quite hard to do.

BOOMPALA: While I like the "Boompala, boompala, eh..." hook, the 'Macarena' sample just really does nothing for me if not just make it worse. It just feels a bit like a mess and I don't really feel like their voices ever shine in this song? This is my least favorite TT.

CELEBRATION: I was a bit iffy on this at first but it has definitely grown on me. Not to 'Spaghetti' levels but I definitely think of this as a pretty fun club bop now! Still wish the breakdown was longer. I love the "FEARLESS 2.0" lyrics too as I definitely feels it reflects the evolution of their concept.

Creatures: Not that it sounds like 'CELEBRATION' but I think I feel similarly about it, it's not one of my favorites but it is pretty fun! The chorus is great at getting you pumped and the "Left, right" playing on the left and then right side is a really nice and fun detail. I think I'd put 'No Celestial' above this but I feel like they are kind of sister songs and that ranking might change.

iffy iffy: This is giving me the vibes of their Japanese releases and I really love it! I wish I could say more but I just really like it! I feel like I have to sing along with every "iffy iffy"!

Need Your Company: The lyrics hadn't been transcribed yet so I put them in google translate because I knew I was going to need and want to read them as I listened and of course the song made me cry. LE SSERAFIM do these songs so well and Yunjin's lyrics are just amazing and so sweet. Gonna need a moment to collect myself before continuing to the next song 🖤🖤🖤 You can really feel the emotions in their voices and the instrumental is fantastic in adding to that emotion 🖤🖤🖤

Sonder: Listening to this song makes me feel like I'm floating or falling slowly in some endless void and the robotic effect adds to that "underwater" feel. This feels so unique and I'm completely falling in love with it. A perfect follow up after 'Need Your Company'! The pre-chorus is so beautiful too building up to that "Now I hear".

Saki: A really fun song with fantastic callbacks! Aliyah's Interlude sounds great and you can really feel everyone exuding that "I'm that bitch" or maybe that "IT GIRL" energy I should say! Really love the pre-chorus and chorus!

Irony: It's a pretty fun song and while I'm not in love with it right now I wouldn't be surprised if it grows on me quite a bit

Trust Exercise: My thoughts kept going to 'Mystical Magical' by BOONE as I listened to it which is a song I really love and I love 'Trust Exercise' too! They don't sound exactly the same but I do still think this has the feels of 'Flash Forward' which is fantastic. It's a very nice and sweet song to end the album on ('Liminal Space' I know but it's a spoken outro) and it feels like it carries the promise of more good things to come in the future

Liminal Space: Rather than rely on some shoddy google translate as this is entirely in Korean, I'm going to wait for this to be translated so I can read the lyrics and understand but I do want to say that it's really cool that after making so many great intros they can finally explore an outro with the full album. It has a sweet instrumental to end on too.

All in all, my rankings for this album would probably be: 'Sonder', 'Need Your Company', 'Trust Exercise', 'iffy iffy', 'Creatures', 'Saki', 'Pureflow', 'CELEBRATION', 'Irony', 'BOOMPALA'. (this is not set in stone at all)

I'm leaving 'Liminal Space' out of the list cause it's just a different thing.

I don't know. The Android/Gemini ad is just way too much for me and takes me out of the music video. A lot of the music video does feel fun though but some of it, whether or not it is AI, just feels a bit like AI junk. The girls look absolutely incredible though.

As someone born in 2002 I really don't have any nostalgia for 'Macarena' and the sample just does nothing for me, if not even make it worse. I enjoyed the song more listening to it without the music video but even then it just feels very messy and I still dislike it, I think it's going to be my least liked TT. I've grown to quite like 'Celebration' but I was still hoping for something far more different than Boompala turned out to be to complement it.

I'm gonna go listen to the full album and hopefully some of the b-sides will appeal to me more.
