Block B - HER Album Review

BLOCK B~HER

As I said, I just extracted all my downloaded albums. This album was just released days ago and I’m here to review each song in the album.

1. UNORDINARY GIRL

I really liked the soft entrance of Taeil in this song. It was like the heavens welcoming you. I also liked the consistent drum beats all throughout the song. The part I liked the most was the part before the chorus, the falsetto were no joke. And I’m just falling in love over and over for P.O.’s voice. I was actually looking forward for Zico’s rap, but he sang! I’m telling you, in falsetto also, my favorite part I mentioned earlier. What I love Block B is they try to divide the song equally.

2. HER

This is one of the most catchy song I’ve heard in the history of kpop. Not just the song, but the dance for this also. Everything is just perfection for this song. The overflowing energy I feel every time I listen to this is no joke. I’m sorry to mention this again, but ARGGHH! P.O.’s voice in this. And atlast, I can hear Zico rapping. Her!

3. EMBRACE ME NOW

A Taeil solo! I wasn’t expecting for this when the tracklist was revealed, I was like hellyea! One thing to boast about it is that Taeil wrote and composed this song himself. I dunno why, but instead of a love song this sounds more like a tribute song to me. It’s a rare opportunity to hear a ballad songs from Block B and for it be solo is just amazing. Before I knew it, the song just ended and I can’t stop listening to it all over again.

4. JACKPOT

Well, we’re all familiar with this song. This was released a long time ago with a music video. For those who haven’t seen the music video for this. HERE IT IS. I love the diversity of this song, switching here and there. And I like the accelerando and gradual increase in tempo towards the chorus. What a waste is the song just ended immediately without notice. I was like, oh! it ended already?

5. VERY GOOD (ROUGH VERSION)

From the title, I was thinking “Rough Version?” And it really was a rough version. The electric guitar was damn rough. It sounds a real Rock&Roll song. It was really fun listening to this song in a different light. The hook is just really amazing, and the song’s still as catchy as ever. I was like “I’m very very good! I wanna rock right now!”

6. JACKPOT (Instrumental)

This is a really good instrumental for comedic skits and videos, just saying. Like in the music video, it is best suited in circus performances. The brass intruments sound really good.
