After months of await, and loneliness, fromis_9 have came back.
What does the critics have to say?
My thoughts on Feel Good, it is OK. The song is what I have been expecting for, it is very CJ E&M production quality which feels plastic to me. But it actually works. Now, IZM has stated that they love this song. To be fair, there is nothing special about Feel Good, but it stands and stays to its production quite nicely.
I will quote a comment from the infamous site, they said:
When I think about it, I wonder if there was an idol group that has maintained the focus of “songs that can be heard well by the public” as much as this team.
[and] This song is also true to its keynote. If [compared to] the previous work, “Fun” approached more trendy with dynamic beats and addictive frays, the difference is that the shape of the song, which is being developed with the melody at the center, is based on the universality that appeals to more people.

They seem to like the simplicity of the song and called it on par with DAY6’s critically-acclaimed masterpiece ‘Sunrise.’ They both have the same “melodious chorus and the following passage of “nanana”.
It seems to work to their advantage, being praised by IZM is no joke as only a few people have clinched an 80 in their site. Feel Good is highly-praised not for groundbreaking production but perfect production.
I am pretty sure that even most Oracles would struggle to understand what goes on in the mind of IZM reviewers. I mean ya, they are unpredictable!

Yes, IZM is very unpredictable but mostly they rate 50/60 on K-Pop songs. I guess they do not like noisy music but also sometimes don’t like bland music. It’s just unpredictable.

True, they almost always give 2.5/3. Of course, I think they prefer the indie side of music (or wannabe indie).
Also, being a bit picky here, but I prefer to go by 10/10 – music (my official blog name), but you can keep it 108music as that seems to work too.
Just asking; do you count the MV and performance scores for KPOPREVIEWED?
Thanks for the post dude!

The overall scores is what I count for all. Your blog is a lot better than IZM ofc.
