![]() ![]() I think they succeed in taking all the popular contemporary motifs of this year, with a generous soupcon from the NCT – SuperM ouevre, and craft something that still matches the Monsta X look feel sound and delivery and isn’t a simple copy. I was speechless after the comeback performance I loved it so much!įor what it is, being the nth version this year of moto jackets all shouty bravado with a western movie whistle hook, it is well done. One Of A Kind was my least favorite album Monsta X has ever released, so I’m happy to be back to loving their new music! I like the whole album, but Ride With U is definitely my buried treasure. (I also wish Kihyun had more ad libs, but that’s something I wish for in basically every Monsta X song.) I don’t think the autotune fits well with the rest of the song. The only thing I’m not a fan of is the stylistic change in the beginning of the bridge. I love that you barely notice the transition between sections because they flow together so well. Even as someone who prefers vocal only songs, Jooheon & IM always impress me with their lines. Pairing it with the marching snares in verse 2 is something really cool that I haven’t heard before. I think the opening instrumental hook is really catchy, & I love the wild west whistle. (I also think its the most underutilized Kihyun has ever been & that doesn’t do it any favors in terms of my opinion.) While Gambler does have some great moments, I can’t get over its lack of a proper chorus. ![]() I like Rush Hour SO much more than Gambler. I’m not always in the mood for their shouty, swaggy approach, but I think it works pretty well here. Meanwhile, Rush Hour’s rap-heavy verses are quintessential Monsta X. The pre-choruses are equally generic, though they’re performed with aplomb. There’s enough frenzied fury pumping through this segment to compensate for its predictability, but I still long for a more satisfying payoff. But, the hook loses focus halfway through, leaning on generic sing-talk phrases rather than expanding on the promise of its opening lines. The way the energy speeds and swerves here is effective and illustrative of the concept. The first part of its chorus is fantastic. I appreciate its place as a part of the overall mix rather than a focal point.Īs far as the actual songwriting goes, Rush Hour isn’t quite as tightly constructed as Gambler. My old frenemy “the whistle” makes a prominent appearance here, but it’s not overplayed in the way we’ve heard from some recent tracks ( *cough*… *NCT*). Rush Hour nails its post-chorus/second verse transition, briefly segueing into an anthemic stomp. Its single-mindedness is quite thrilling, and I love how gargantuan the instrumental sounds. Perched upon a distorted riff, the production never loses steam. It carries the same boisterous bluster as so many Monsta X tracks, but also has a great snap that feels funky and forward-moving. New single Rush Hour pulls a few more producers into the mix, and comes across as an amped up version of Monsta X’s debut-era singles.įrom the album preview alone, I knew I’d enjoy Rush Hour’s beat. Co-composed and arranged by member Joohoney, the song felt like a genuine expansion of the group’s sound. Han.Monsta X’s Gambler made a very good case for increasing creative control in idol comebacks.
