Tempo MV

Amazing MV, CGI, etc I must say. As for the song itself, Idk, I haven't got hooked on it yet. I didn't like the autotuned part. Sehun got decent lines. But I think D.O's lines are just few?

 

[Tatsumaki]

I loved it ! I don't regret pre ordering the album

Ah. That was my second favorite part after the acapella one.
I feel like this is the kind of song you warm up to. No the type you'll forcibly love right on the first listening.
D.O indeed seems like he has less lines than usual but I feel like the line distribution is okay for once.
Will wait to have my album to listen to the rest of the songs though.

 

[Kiki]

Woah you preordered? Cool!

Ah. That was my second favorite part after the acapella one.

Hmm so you like autotune... unique!

 

[Tatsumaki]

Hmm so you like autotune... unique!

Well I usually don't but it was so unexpected that I was like ''Whoooooa'' and now I love it I have no explainations
(The fact that it was Xiumin probably helped a little)

 

[XXEliteXXAceXX]

Interesting... Chanyeol's rap was the best part in the song for me. I'm sort of neutral on the autotune parts and I didn't really like the bridge. But I hope SM gives EXO more songs like the ones they had a few years ago. Those were good.

So with Suho off to the military recently they only have 5 available members until the Winter when Xiumin and D.O. end their military service. Baekhyun also released another a solo album and supposedly Chanyeol and Kai have mentioned recording stuff recently. I wonder if they'll promote as 5 members or if it'll mostly be solo or subunit stuff.

 

[Kiki]

hmmm probably 5 members, but was there a news they will come back with 5 members?

 

[xi0]

hmmm probably 5 members, but was there a news they will come back with 5 members?

No, but Baekhyun released this


This week.

Not sure how likely that they'd come back as 5 any time soon.

 

[Tatsumaki]

I also think that making a comeback with only 5 members might not be the best. So I'm leaning towards more solo/subunits albums.
Baekhyun has released his nex solo album and might come back later with SuperM ?
Chanyeol has Studio nng and Exo-SC
Kai said he was recording stuff so maybe a solo album soon ? Maybe something with SuperM too ?
Chen...has kinda disappeared but he has his solo career, he was doing plays in january too, he has his newborn daughter...so he's kinda busy too.
Sehun has Exo-SC and maybe will be doing more dramas ?
I believe it's a good time for more solo stuff for all of them.

 

[xi0]

Chanyeol has Studio nng and Exo-SC

Yeah but he was telling fans to tell SM to give him a solo album recently. Perhaps it was meant as a joke, but who knows.

Chen...has kinda disappeared but he has his solo career, he was doing plays in january too, he has his newborn daughter...so he's kinda busy too.

I think that's kind of natural given what happened, plus even more would be upset if he was busy doing stuff with his daughter just being born.

Not sure what the plans are for SuperM. It seems they focus more heavily on touring overseas and that can't really happen right now or in the immediate future.

I think Baekhyun, Chen, and Chanyeol all have to enlist at some point this year or next year. So the window for them to have a 7 member comeback before they start shrinking in size again might be nonexistent.
