TXT | THE NAME CHAPTER: FREEFALL ALBUM REVIEW

Comments

A year later and Dreamer still has me in a CHOKEHOLD. Sometimes my playlist slides it in and im just taken aback all over again

Kat

I'm so sorry and I mean this in the nicest way possible but if you wholeheartedly believe that Idols deliberately choose to not have parts in songs, then please revaluate. Beomgyu himself has expressed his disappointment in his voice not always being heard in the songs. If you're an Artist there is absolutely no way you would purposely ask them to leave you out the song/you'd be okay with it. And then you also mentioned Jin, when there were also multiple times where he was disappointed by the lack of parts he had in a song. Yes, the members participate in production/writing but they're not the ones who assign the lines and who assigns who get's what lines. That is the job for the main producer/technician working on the song as well as BangPD. I really wish y'all would stop trying to always come up with excuses for these companies. It's like y'all are scared to admit when they've done something wrong. It's okay to point out when a company makes mistakes, and matter of fact it's needed. Because when companies aren't called out they'll just continue doing what they always do and nothing will change. You can just NOT convince me that for the last 3 or so albums Beomgyu fr sat in that studio and was like "Oh yeah, no I'm okay with getting 5 seconds per song." You can not find a single artist who would genuinely be okay with not having parts in their song lol, like lets please be fr for a minute. FreeFall is an AMAZING album but that doesn't change the fact that the line distribution needs to be better. And it makes it worse because TXT quite literally only has 5 members, there should be no reason why 2 members are getting 30+ seconds, the other 2 is getting 20s and the last one is getting 3s or none at all. When there is only 5 members in a group there is literally no excuse you can come up with for bad line distribution, I've seen groups with 10+ members that have better line distribution than TXT and that's sad.

and Chasing The Feeling is the smartest decision to be a Title track, because is the most public friendly in the album besides the pre-realeases (whose also give them more attention that they need to achieve their goals in the west market). The rest of the song are freaking awesome, but they are very experimental, even for TXT who always is beyond the expectations... I can't imagine others song being title tracks after hearing them talk about their ambitions, this was THE song.

So I love Beomgyu voice so much and I also don't know what happened behind the scenes, like all of us. But If there's something I think about Big Hit, it's that they or the group really choose lines because of the sound and intentions they have, I'm not trying to compare his case with BTS, but this is something that has been around with Jin for example, and BTS themselves said they pick their lines and still people argue about this. The thing I definitely know it's that TXT IS involved in the production of their albums, now even more than before, so I just believe there's has to be a reason, even if we MOAs can't understand that, I'm sure they know what they're doing. I read many complaints about the group, the company and the album because of that and I think it didn't deserved it, the album is full of bangers, to me is also the best album of TXT and they improved SO MUCH, FreeFall is really something else and as a MOA I just hope there's more focus on the awesome things, because that's what makes an album blow up, not arguing about things we just don't know aboutπŸ’™

I know you aren't taking requests right now but even if you just watch on your own time without reacting, TXT put out a Tiny Desk of some of these new songs with the live band. It is SO GOOD. A must watch.

DeJanΓ© (DJ)

I just saw that get uploaded! I’ll try to watch it on YouTube! πŸ’•

Caitlin Benson

LMAOOO I’m sorry 😭🀣 - I think I look at y’all because I need help SOS! πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ’€

Caitlin Benson

Growing Pain gave me early 2000s rock vibes. I was thinking Three Days Grace, Skillet, and Breaking Benjamin. TXT be giving us these nostalgic sounds.

Jaydashed

You so right haha πŸ’•πŸ€£

Caitlin Benson

& also i know you're not taking requests but since i heard you abt really wanting to see live performancees with a live band & they actually did it!! it's their tiny desk special and beomgyu really gets to shine and ugh just this whole performance is top tier! i'd recommend this over ANY other content from this era! it'll blow your socks lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEjWRJ2xWRM but ofc only if you feel like it/have the time! we don't demand reactions in this houseeee

evie hamers

i’ve been watching you so much that as soon as the beat dropped in β€œdeep down” i started moving exactly the same way as youπŸ’€ also, girl - every time someone does something ie. yeonjun saying let me break it down for you, why do you always look at us like we did it 🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣 we’re just as attacked as you are 😭 top three are dreamer, skipping stones and blue spring for sure

kens πŸ’—

I loved this album, it became my fav and I was out here thinking I would change my fav again. Defined get a listen of Blue Spring studio version on your own, they changed it a bit and added some nice things in the production and add libs.πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™.

ngl beomgyu not being on happily ever after rubbed me the WRONG way... bc like you said...... there's literally no reason. (makes me think he did something bighit didn't agree with & got punished for it by not giving him lines bc this do be a thing in k-pop... :////) but let's just hope it's nothing too dark LOL. anyway this album as a whole literally BLEW me away. jaw dropped. like my crops are flourishing, my flowers are watered, the sun is shining & i'm photosynthesing. everytime i think they can't possibly outdo themselves yet they do it EVERY single time. tysm for your reaction caitlin! it always makes my day <3

evie hamers

"I don't know if I should cry or throw it back" is the TXT special. :D

Lissa

Hi Cait! Thank you! For me is Blue Spring, Growing Pain and Deep Down πŸ’•
