There's so much anticipation being placed on this album and with Jaebeom's absence, it's been a long wait but it's finally here! Overall you can expect a little bit of everything that makes you want to bounce and boogie with this album but at the same time hold back because of the poignant and obviously symbolic titles. I mean 1:59PM as the name of the album? Way too obvious.
Heartbeat really does get your heart beating due to the emotionally intense plea-like verses. It exudes a sad sensation that picks up perfectly with a whip beat effect. Note the "heartbeat" - ta-dum, ta-dum E.R sound effect. I especially like the long ending riff that really brings out the dramaticity it was meant to have.
Tired of waiting would probably drive the unsuspecting listener to ask just what's the fashion with over auto-tuned vocals. It does however hold it's ground as a dance electro number.
I Was Crazy Over You would be the one that caught my attention the most with tackful use of piano as the lead instrument and a slight vocoder vocal alteration. I absolutely love the beat and the "manly" insinuations that you can sense between the lines. The rap further spices the song with forceful accents.
Gimme The Light makes extensive use of auto-tune but it's very well put amongst "real" vocals and a memorable melody. Once again, the mood seems sombre despite a great bass and beat set.
All Night Long is a slow R&B chill, that's for the most part, very Americanized almost to the point it sounds like an R.Kelly product complete with a bridge rap and that unmistakable beat. Forgettable perhaps but enjoyably safe nonetheless.
You Might Comeback the Bossa Nova Mix is actually quite sweet (?). Yes. That's what it seems to be. The original is of course leaps and bounds better than the mix. The mix infuses soft piano, and cha-cha drum rythmns making you wonder if it really should be as "sunny" and "spritely" as the lyrics intended.
