Day Ranks: Xikers Debut Album 'HOUSE OF TRICKY : Doorbell Ringing' (1 Viewer)

[Day]

This is my official ranking of Xikers debut album 'HOUSE OF TRICKY : Doorbell Ringing'

1. ROCKSTAR: This is entirely my vibe, the intro is great and it's an easy song to listen to. This is the vocal-based song I wanted to hear. If it was up to me, this is the song I would've chosen for a title track. The chorus and beat drop are awesome, it's a super fun song. I watched their debut showcase stage version of this and I'm super happy Seeun got more lines/center parts/screen time, he did an awesome job and so did the rest of the boys. Plus, center Minjae is always a great time. His beret looks kinda..... ....... ...... they should have taken that off of him, they're doing him dirty fr. Jinsik also did very well in the live version!

2. TRICKY HOUSE: I prefer songs with more vocals and overall this song is noisy. I like it and it displays some restraint in terms of not going overboard. I hope that Seeun can be given more lines in the future, I'm more surprised they don't put more emphasis on him. He's one of - if not the tallest member(s) and has blonde hair for their debut, won't you push him to the front KQ? However, I like the song. I think the saving grace is the ending of the song, it's just awesome. Also, thank God for center Minjae, because I like him the most.

3. XIKEY: Fun song, rap-heavy. Autotune. The vibes are hip and I think it's a good song. In a way, it reminds me of a SEVENTEEN song, can't put my finger on which one.

4. Doorbell Ringing: I really like the rap around 0:35 and, overall, it's just an awesome song. I do think the chorus is a bit cringy but it is what it is sometimes.

5. Oh My Gosh: Once again, another good song on the album. Nothing about this song really stands out to me, it's just easy to listen to.
6. The TRICKY's Secret: It's an intro song, has no singing and honestly it's a bit creepy is it camp? yes. am i putting it on my playlist? no.

7. Dynamic (Cheongryang): A rock song, a genre that I cannot stand in modern music. Once again, no singing, just vibes, so I guess it's a filler song. Loses points for being boring and not camp.

Tagging you three and I'm curious how you would rank the album or if there's anything we agree/disagree on. I'd love to hear your thoughts ​

I’m sensing Seeun is your wrecker
Mine is :
Oh My Gosh (It’s on constant repeat)
Tricky House
Rockstar
Xikey
Doorbell Ringing

Have you listened to their pre release Geek by chance? Imo Seeun was able to showcase his abilities well in that song, rapping, center during one of the instrumental breakdowns and his high note
Tbh I look forward to their future releases which will hopefully showcase their vocals a bit more, we know they’re talented dancers/rappers but I definitely think they have a solid vocal line that can do a lot. Just wait until they release a ballad we’ll die from their heavenly voices.

It was their song that they worked on in the US (Minjae produced it) sort of like how Ateez had their US training, vlogged it and made song at the end, xikers did it as well.

Here’s episode 1 if you’d like to check it out, they’re very awkward here
