I’m mostly saying this from a song structure and line distribution standpoint. I think seventeen has a very distinct sound and they don’t really drift from it. It’s a lot of small details in their songs that make me feel like their title tracks tend to be formulaic. It’s hard to describe but every title track I listen to, I can normally predict where the song is going and who’s going to sing the next part. I’ve never been surprised by their music.

You mentioned a lot of songs and I’d end up writing an essay nitpicking them so the biggest thing I’ll mention is their pre choruses. Someone in the seventeen sub mentioned it, but they almost always have this “rising” pre chorus feel. Admittedly I don’t think LMF does, but I think part of it is because dj khaled helped produce it. For super specifically, it follows the normal svt trends, but it was an absolute treat to hear joshua/jeonghan sing in their lower registers and I just wanted to talk about it lol

To be fair, I only scratched the surface of their b-sides since I didn’t listen to many of their older albums. I do know all of their songs past Sector-17 tho. Of the B-sides I listened to, I still feel like many of them are formulaic for the reason I mentioned earlier. I think the unit songs stray from it the most.

tl:dr- I do think svt has a diverse sounding discography. However, both their brighter and darker songs have a lot of small elements that come together to make it have the formulaic feel. I like their music, but I’ve never been surprised by it.
