I always feel that Pentagon has a ton of ideas in their minds but they don't know how to execute these ideas to materialize a hit song that will stick with listeners. They have their fanbase in Korea as well as in foreign waters however, they never win award shows nor do people pay them much attention on a grand scale. I'm not of those listeners that wants them to win because I hear the potential of what they should be. Instead they try so hard to appeal while not being the norm so much that they trip themselves up. I've watched this happen from mini album to mini album. Daisy honestly isn't any different. Title track is passable enough since emotional painful love sells well in South Korea. Things just fall apart when you listen to WE:TH. Here listeners get another blazing pop beat mini album that could have kept the same idea created by Daisy. Instead the album throws a whole bunch of songs together like everyone is suppose to pretend like their sounds flow together. If you are looking for the saving grace of their new effort, I would say that would be Paradise. It's a great dance track that could have been the title instead of Daisy... Not that I'm mad at their decision. Beautiful Goodbye isn't too awful either if you like their older tracks that have the same sound. A solo track is hidden on the CD version of the album that is alright but could have ultimately remained a secret that none of the listeners could have ever known.
The member who has the deep grubby voice needs to sing more. Whenever he sings lead, Pentagon's songs stand out more in my opinion. Leave that wannabe gangsta rap imitation alone... I get so tired of hearing EH! YEAH! at the beginning of kpop songs...... Especially when the raps don't actually be about it......
I'm tired of mini album that only have two good songs out of the five or six that we are given. I'm going to need Pentagon to ask Monsta X to hand over the number of the foreign producers they working with cause these boys are in need of help. They been drowning fast for awhile.....
