I'll do the songs that are on Spotify and I won't be counting OSTs or Japanese remakes. I will do original Japanese songs though. I did review Going Seventeen in more detail but I can't find it :yolk:


Overall I fell that they have a couple formulas in place for songs and I'm not into those types. They have ballads which every group has so i cant say anything about that but they also have shouty chorus songs making use of their number of members, which aren't for me either, so a decently big part of their songs I'm not into for that reason. I did add quite a few songs to my playlist though from this experience.

17 Carat
Shining Diamond-Slip into the diamond life suddenly makes sense after years of being into kpop. I like this one, again it's not overly complicated but that's not needed imo for a good song.
Adore U-It's not the most complicated song. It's a basic cute one and I'm not super into it. It is catchy and memorable though, and a good debut.
Ah Yeah-Going into it I should mention I'm not into rapping so I'm not into this one. Pull up on the wacks with the mac fully loaded is iconic though.
Jam Jam-It's alright. I won't add it to my playlist tough. Its too dependent on the beat, they could have done more with the rest. It is a good beat though.
20-It's nice but a bit too forgettable.

Boys Be
Fronting-Same as 20, it's nice but doesn't stand out. I like the rapping a lot more than I expect though.
Mansae-One of the quintessential kpop cover songs. I'm not into it but also not upset by it. It would be good for someone into cute songs I suppose. I find parts of it super good, namely the prechorus and chorus, but other parts eh.
When I Grow Up-It' a nice ballad. I don't care for ballads but this one sounds nice enough I'll add it to y playlist even.
OMG-This is one of their more interesting ones so far imo. It's a bit repetitive but I actually quite like the autotune, and this is coming from an autotune anti. If it was just a tiny bit less repetitive I'd be into it enough to add it to my playlist but that fault is just too much.
Rock-Oh I know this one. Eh is my best description of my feelings to it tbh.

Al1
Don't Wanna Cry-This somehow isn't on my playlist yet but I fixed that. It's a bop. A bit of a typical these days but it was a bit ahead of it's time in the sense that it got started on the edm beat drop before everyone and their mother used it.
Habit-It has the right idea of being a ballad with harmonies in the chorus bit it just doesn't sound melodic enough for me in the chorus and sounds less appealing.
If I-Some parts just sound a bit disjointed. The beat at the end seems to coe out of nowhere and makes me a bit confused.
Swimming Fool-It's just too unmemorable to me. I can see it's appeal though, it reminds me of a trip to the ocean somehow in that not memorable but pleasant and repetitive sense.
My I-I like it but it's not memorable enough to me to really stand out.
Crazy In Love-It's oddly disjointed again ngl...but it's still good. I just wish the rap didnt feel so out of place compared to the rest of the song.

Directors Cut
Thinkin' About You-The instrumental is way too noisy, why did they make it that way?
Thanks-Bop bop bop bop. Not quite as good as Don't Wanna Cry just because it feels a bit too carried by the drop but still a bop.
Run To You-This has been my favorite Seventeen song forever. I love rock and this anime esque style is totally my thing.
Fallin For U-Too slow and ballady for me.

Call Call Call
There's too much happening, which I know is kind of the point but it makes it harder to listen to imo.

You Make My Day
Oh My!-I like it. It's a fun bop. One of their best cute songs imo.
Holiday-It's also fun. It's less outwardly cute and grittier while still keeping the vibe of Oh My.
Come To Me-I forgot what a bop this was. I like the instrumental quite a bit and the vocals are repetitive but fine. I think I wold get sick of it if I listened to it a lot but I like it at the moment.
What's Good-Not melodic enough for me tbh.
Moonwalker-This one is my favorite from the album most likely. It's memorable without being overly repetitive, which is a fine line. It fits the mood of the rest of the album really well and showcases their less outwardly cute sides, similarly to Holiday.
Our Dawn is Hotter Than Day-It makes me cringe a bit with the lyrics and I don't understand why they picked that chorus. Not something I wold listen to.

A-Teen
Clever title. Otherwise I don't really know what else to say about it. It's a bit of a mess I suppose. They have a tendency to have songs with parts that sound out of place to me and this is one of them.

You Make My Dawn
Good To Me-The chorus is catchy but I don't get why they use their shouting voices more than their singing voices when they have perfectly good vocals. I don't enjoy that part.
Home-Soft edm esque song. I like edm but it's too far leaning toward the ballad side to be something I like.
Hug-Well I got my vocals but in a ballad which I'm not a fan of
Chilli-The chorus is so underwhelming. The song just doesn't feel like it go anywhere. They change it up a tiny bit for the bridge but that's it.
Shh-It sounds too shouty and disjointed again.
Getting Closer-I just find this song to be noise and not in the way I enjoy.

9-Teen
I felt the instrumental was too loud again.

Happy Ending
I honestly don't like the voice of the first guy all that much, especially when yelling.

Fallin' Flower
Beautiful vocals in the prechorus, but the chorus being shouty isn't something I like.

Heng:gare
Fearless-Eyy a bop, the chorus slaps.
Left & Right-This song annoys me more than anything tbh.
I Wish-I like this one. Its not so ballady I find it boring, it's right in between.
My My-It feels like a filler song to me rather than having something stand out about it.
Kidult- Okay I love the title. If there was just a tiny bit less going on in the chorus I'd probably be digging this but at the moment I'm not really.
Together-Right from the start I could tell I was going to like it. I like the faster pace of this song and how melodic it i compared to some of their other releases.

Love & Letter
Chuck-No. That's all I have to say.
Pretty U-It's not their best title. It falls in the overshadowed category and for a good reason to be honest. It's not bad but it's not great. It doesn't offer up anything they haven't done already.
Still Lonely-I think this song could benefit from a bit of simplifying. The chorus sounds like there's too much happening.
Hit Song-It's way too repetitive for me personally.
Say Yes-Oh dang another ballad I like, surprising but I'm glad. It just sounds so vocal and emotional.
Drift Away-It's another song that doesn't stand out. Maybe it's the slow tempo that makes me not like it?
Love Letter-It's a bit bland. If they got rid of all the instrumental and went acapella for the chorus it might be more interesting that way.

Love & Letter Repackage
No F.U.N-It's a fun song ironically. I'm still not fully into it though.
Very Nice-One of my favorite songs from them. I didn't originally like it but it's catchy af and I grew to like it quite a lot.
Healing-I like how it's more vocally centric. I'm adding it to my playlist even if I don't love it, I still like it.
Simple-I thought it was going to be another ballad but the chorus definitely changes it up. I think the instrumental is too loud though.
Space-I like it surprisingly. It's a nice chill song, good to listen to when I don't want something intense.

Going Seventeen
Beautiful-The title describes the song well :maheart:
Boom Boom-I don't hate it but I don't like it either. The chorus is just too disappointing.
Highlight-What a bop. I know it's edm and dance focused but I like that.
Lean On Me-This is too slow for me.
Fast Pace-The instrumental gets a little old after a while. Not my thing.
Don't Listen in Secret-It's okay for a ballad i suppose. I think people who like ballads would be into it.
I Don't Know-Another ballad rip.
Smile Flower-Also a good ballad as far as ballads go. Still not my thing :jisoosmh:

Teen,Age
Intro.New World-I was wondering if they'd ever have intros. It' a typical intro i guess.
Change Up-No thanks. It has a hip hop vibe that I'm not into.
Without You-I find the instrumental pretty annoying tbh.
Clap-Bop bop bop. It still has the same vibe as Change Up but it has vocals for days too.
Bring It-It's hype but a bit too noisy.
Lilli Yabbay-Another dance bop. I don't care if it's lacking in vocals, its still catchy.
Trauma-I like it but don't love it. Again, its more hip hop but somehow I prefer it to Change Up.
Pinwheel-It may be a ballad but it's a truly beautiful one. I love it. My favorite of the last 3.
Flower-I don't like the shouty chorus but I do like how it changes up without sounding disjointed.
Rocket-This song is pretty fun, I love the effect in the chorus.
Hello-It's just not a standout. Nothing bad about it per say, just nothing special either.
Campfire-I feel like this song would actually be nice at a campfire. That being said I wouldn't necessarily pick it to listen to at other times.
Ontro.Incompletion-Typical ontro I suppose. Not a fan of intros and ontros in general.

An Ode
Hit-This song really just sounds like a mess to be honest. There's too much going on at once.
Lie Again-Well its another ballad so rip.
Fear-It's my favorite of their latest released MVs but that's not saying much ngl. It's still not the type of music I like from them.
Let Me Hear You Say-I like parts of it and dont like other parts. The instrumental is nice but sometimes the vocals feel too fast for it.
247-We'll its nice for a ballad
Second Life-It was alright but the vocals get a little too piercing for me a bit farther on in the song.
Network Love-The chorus is a bit disappointing, anti drops work well sometimes but not always. It fits the theme though so props to them for that.
Back It Up-Wow this is hype, I love it. I know how I talk about not liking their shouty ones but I think it works better here in a noisy song like this.
Lucky-It's not bad but not the most interesting
Snapshot-I found it too samey throughout

Ngl my face when I read your opinion on Left and Right was a mixture of this: :areyouforreal: :pandasad:
But I’m happy you liked Say Yes, that’s one of my favorites from them :maheart:

I shall forgive you for your questionable taste because I still enjoyed this thread:bigcatlove: :pikahappy:
