1. CRIMINAL
firstly criminal is fucking bonkers lmao this is like. solid soty material 4 me . i love the contrast btwn heavy lower sounds and taems higher floaty vocal
the melody being very simple/on the downbeats in the first verse and the chorus rlly sets it up for

a NICE contrast in the verse after the first chorus and the other parts where this isnt the case!!! im in LOVE with the final chorus and as much as i feel the Ending The Song Without A Final Chord Etc etc is overdone i think it suits taemin's style here esp w the echo
2. STRANGERS
ohhhh Nice nice sound of heels as a percussion element .. the atmosphere is rlly strong w that + the female vocals
i also really like how bare the instrumentals are on taems songs

although to be honest i do feel like a lot of his songs sound very similar and strangers falls into that :-/ i understand having a style and stuff but i really like when there's a bit of variation and that's why i love 2 kids so much because it's just that little bit different
FUCK IT WAS ON SHUFFLE ok strangers isnt no 2 Fuuuuck
ok 2 (for real) . BLACK ROSE
ok i really Really like this it's a nice blend of taems regular Style and a more hh sound imo? the percussion especially !!! and the distorted sound during the chorus remind me of this

this song definitely has the sm energy but it feels very nct to me? its def reminiscent of their style lol

6. CLOCKWORK

oh i really like the part before the last chorus 
it's 68bpm so slightly faster than a second which is nice bc it keeps the song moving while keeping to the theme

7. JUST ME AND YOU
i love the change in pace from clockwork to this !! that drumroll before the chorus was really nice
i like the effect on the bg vocals it highlights the clarity of the main vocal melody hehe

this song rlly encapsulates that cinematic / BIG sound that taems songs have, the attn to little details esp makes it a really nice listening experience
8. NEMO
i love the drop sound . i have other thoughts but the little plop is so cute

his voice is so ,,, blendable? like it works super well in harmony w himself lol it's so smooth
kind of a 2000s feeling? maybe that's just me but i really like it

this thread is devolving quickly
9. 2 KIDS
ok i Love this song i dont think i talked abt it on here but i love that it's a different feeling to his other music but still in the same area !! it feels a lot lighter but still has like a wistful thing going on and if u know me . u will know bittersweet is best

the syncopation in the chorus mmmm Nothing is on beat in this song the whole scope of the song sits so high too like there's not a whole lot bringing it down in pitch broadly
Overalli liked the small variations on his usual style ! criminal is soooo so good i was really really impressed by it and i think other than that my favs were black rose and waiting for because the mix of influences was really refreshing to hear :D
