I didn't realize that BANG BANG was a pre-release. I thought they just had 2 title tracks or that Blackhole was a bside they were heavily promoting.

I think Blackhole should’ve been the continuation of I Am instead of having Baddie be the title of that first cb after it. This song is the most IVE sounding out of everything they’ve put out afterwards. Not that any of the songs have been bad because I love them all but it could’ve kept the I Am momentum going imo.

I looove Bang Bang, the verses are so fun and the MV is really dope imo!!
As for Blackhole though… it kind of feels like an I AM + Eleven mashup. I think it’s going to grow on me, but the MV doesn’t really match the song :/ It feels like a bunch of beauty shots and don’t get me wrong, the girls are gorgeous! I just feel like with a title like that my expectations for the visuals were way higher

i am surprised i wasn’t vibing with these songs at first, bang bang has taken days for me to actually start enjoying it, but for me i did not particularly enjoy blackhole. i just think it was a bit boring for a title track following bang bang. but thats personal preference haha
i still enjoyed watching both mvs, one thing i love about ive is how consistent they are every comeback so theres always something i will like
cant wait for the listening party! some really great bsides this comeback!!!!

I also like Bang Bang a bit more than Blackhole, the later is kinda throwing me off because of the song structure and I struggle a bit with the first chorus and the transition into the 2nd verse. Other than that I love it though! Bang Bang is just straight up an instant classic Kpop smash hit, insanely catchy and hard hitting!

I love the Blackhole MV, its feel grand and anthemic(idk the words of it) but I'm more into Bang Bang. For me blackhole lack of the BANGS and explosive instrument that Bang Bang have during the chorus. and as you said they just AURA FARMING in Blackhole MV 😂😂😂

Love the album for this, really shows each member's strengths while also taking some risks. PLEASE check out the Performance MV for Gaeul's Solo, it's amazing, probably my favorite song on the album, def my favorite b-side drop this year.

When you get around to checking out the album, they also performed snippets of the solos during their concert! https://youtu.be/R7Uc8tOS9Hw?si=Jb3y5SkXWbkWxn4h
They also appeared on Killing Voice, which is still kinda crazy to think about
