Something I've noticed about PIXY's last couple of albums is that they're not fully digestible for me on first listen. After listening to everything for the first time yesterday I enjoyed it, but as I've listened to the songs more since then I've grown to absolutely love them. Natural is my favourite as of right now. And the rest of the ranking would probably be Swan Song > Breath > Greetings > Villian > Deja Vu. I have a feeling that ranking will change all the time based on my mood though haha. The melodies in Greetings really struck me too, it's a gorgeous song. And I do get what you were saying about the sound of the guitars on Swan Song, but personally I guess it doesn't bother me much. Also the quality on Swan Song did sound particularly rough on the video you checked out haha, so I'd be curious to know if your opinion changed at all after you listened to it on Spotify. Fantastic album overall, I love that they tried some new sounds while still sticking to that overall darker vibe that they have in their music. They're building up such an incredible discography already, I'm hoping for really great things for this group.

2022-06-16 10:48:05 +0000 UTCDeja Vu is definitely my favorite on the album. Though I feel like that could change like you said depending on my mood. Natural and Swan Song where definitely up there. I listened on spotify and where the guitar in Swan Song still sounds produced I feel like it holds a bit more weight with the better quality.

Still With Me is indeed great though, and it does have its own MV. It also has a lyric line that's kind of an arrow through my heart. The guy who made Natural, Houdini, is the same person who worked on some banger I-DLE songs like Tung-Tung, I'm the Trend, Put it Straight, For You, Moon, and Always, so I was prepared to love it and I definitely do. A lot. 😁 Externally produced stuff is kind of new for them, but I like their choices. Pretty sure my favorite's Swan Song, but I'm not surprised it wasn't your favorite. 😂 I remember you weren't a fan of the big rock chorus of I-DLE's Liar either. I think the song sounds great on Spotify, personally. The maknae line flexing some more is definitely a silver lining of Ella's absence - Sua and Dajeong sound fantastic, Dajeong for sure being their bridge queen since Let Me Know. This is my favorite album of theirs yet, they did a great job staying true to their sound while also doing a lot of new stuff.
