*This was initially a “buried treasure” evaluate, however now that we now have an official mv, it’s been modified to a “tune evaluate” put up. My ranking hasn’t modified.

It’s been fairly a while since a Seventeen album has captured me, and new launch Spill The Feels (such a tacky title) is unlikely to interrupt that development. I don’t see myself going again to it typically, however there are a few tracks value conserving. Rain is a cool — if underdeveloped — jam and Eyes On You opens the album with a fascinating 90’s dance beat.

It’s uncommon to listen to Seventeen tread this far into dance music, however HYBE appears to have an affection for this model. Eyes On You jogs my memory of TXT’s I’ll See You There Tomorrow, which simply so occurred to open their newest album. I don’t assume this observe is as memorable, however its glistening manufacturing could be very glossy and trendy. This sound tends to really feel a bit hole and aloof if not given sufficient persona, and I’d have anticipated Seventeen’s energy vocalists to inject extra character. As an alternative, vocal results clean over their particular person quirks, making the observe really feel oddly generic. However on this context, that polished manufacturing model works. It’s not one of the best Ok-pop tune I’ve ever heard, however with just a few small modifications this might have been a way more compelling title observe than the overly secure Love, Cash, Fame.

Grade: B
