Listening Party: NCT DREAM 'Beat It Up' EP

Tempo rush and tricky were my absolute faves! Dreamscape and BTTF were both letdowns for me as they felt way to safe for Dream (outside of the few songs I really enjoyed like chiller, you, Dream team, flying kiss) I think the tracklist for BIU is a little jarring (butterflies into tempo maybe needed a song in between) but I enjoyed this release as a whole more than anything Dream has put out since smoothie. I know a lot of fans love the Dream pop sound but their last few albums have just felt very redundant to me and offer very little to their discography in the same way glitch mode and ISTJ did.

2026-01-09 19:44:00 +0000 UTCTo me Beat It Up feels like a song that would make sense if they released it around maybe Glitch Mode era, but they've clearly grown since then so as a song I feel like it doesn't really do much for them, the performance aspect is definitely carrying it as title track. But hey this EP gave us the delight that is Rush so I'm not complaining too much

2026-01-08 02:18:56 +0000 UTCcan agree that Beat It Up was quite a let down. Absolutely loved the B-sides on the album however. Rush and Cold Coffee were both absolutely glorious to listen to. Tricky gave me whiplash in the first couple seconds, because I didn't expect Haechan to open up the song like that. All in all, the title track itself was the only disappointment for me, which generally tracks for most NCT releases LOL so I'm not even surprised anymore.

2026-01-07 19:18:28 +0000 UTCMy top three are easily Cold Coffee (I too was confused abt the name), Tricky, and Rush. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the unit songs, unfortunately, but I hope they do some unit songs in the future that aren’t just “rapper song” and “vocalist song”. Beat It Up is probably my least favorite Dream title track- it’s just kind of meh for me. Still super excited for what they do next!
